K-pop Female Groups: My 2022 Top 20 Songs ~ No. 10 to 1

    Let’s wrap this up! Recently I posted songs from number 20 to 11, so it's time to list the top 10 now. Can you guess which songs made it to the top of my list?

    Just a quick note for everyone: there is one song released in December 2021. I actually considered songs with music videos released between December 2021 and November 2022. That's how I manage my list while charting the songs. I just wanted to put that out there in case people are wondering why that particular song is on the list.

    Alright, without further delay, here are the top 10 songs.

No. 10: Starlit by UiU

No. 9: Fearless by LE SSERAFIM

K-pop Female Groups: My 2022 Top 20 Songs ~ No. 20 to 11

    I usually have several parts for this type of post because I have a lot of songs to list; for 2021 list, I had 70 songs! So for 2022, I will only list my top 20. I'm already behind and need to catch up, so I guess it will be faster if I don't have too many songs to list. The downside, of course, is that several underrated gems will be excluded. Such a shame.

    Without wasting any more time, let's start! Here are my top 20 K-pop girl group songs of 2022, and we're starting with number 20 until 11. Some of these groups might already be inactive or disbanded, but good songs are timeless, so I hope you will still check them out if you haven't already.

No. 20: GingaMingaYo (the strange world) by Billlie

No. 19: WooAh HIP by M.M.D

No. 18: Hype Boy by NewJeans

Pendragon Book Four: The Reality Bug ~ book review

Title - Pendragon: The Reality Bug

Author - D. J. MacHale

    It has been a few years, but I am finally back to my adventure with the Pendragon series. It's never fun to forget key plot points when you leave a series for too long, but luckily, jumping back in is easy. There's not too many characters involved, and the plot is straightforward enough to recall without much effort. Honestly, if you need help remembering, a quick internet search will get you back on track in no time.

    A quick overview, Pendragon: The Reality Bug is the fourth book in the Pendragon: Journal of an Adventure Through Time and Space series. Written by D. J. MacHale, the story follows Bobby  Pendragon as he travels through different dimensions to prevent local calamities and ultimately defeat the main villain, Saint Dane.

Not a Review! Crimebound Chronicles ~ video game thoughts

     

    No, no...this is not a review. I only review games that I finished story-wise, and usually the games that I finished are the ones that I really enjoyed. I'm sad to say that I didn't enjoy playing Crimebound Chronicles but I did finish it anyway, so I better write something about it, right?

    So what should I write? Well, one positive thing about this game is that it is a pretty easy game to get a Platinum trophy, so if you want to add one to your trophy collection, this is one easy way to obtain it. Honestly, there's not much gameplay. You just keep on pressing the button to continue reading the text, and at the end you select the person who you think is the murderer. That's it. 3 separate cases, 3 murderers to choose. Other than that, there's not much to say. Well, there's actually plenty to say if I want to list down all the wrongs that I find while playing it...but I'm not doing that. No, let's just say I didn't enjoy playing it. That's all.

    Let's just end here before I start saying something bad. See you guys soon in another review ya, take care!

Vampyr ~ video game review

Title: Vampyr

Played on PlayStation 4

    Vampyr is an action role-playing video game released way back in 2018 on multiple platforms (PS4, Windows, Xbox One, and later on Nintendo Switch in 2019) developed by Dontnod Entertainment and published by Focus Home Interactive. Right off the bat, let me just say that I love this game. Despite its flaws, I had an amazing experience playing it and I have to thank Playstation Plus for this because I wouldn't have known the game existed if it's not included as one of their free monthly games. It's seriously an underrated gem.

A Doctor Reborn

    In Vampyr, you played as Jonathan Reid, a doctor who had been turned into a vampire. You literally started off waking up in a pile of corpses, it's quite an amazing way to start a game. After running away and bumping into some new shenanigans, you found yourself a new ally named Doctor Edgar Swansea, and thus your new life begins as the new doctor at Pembroke Hospital. I really enjoyed the story told in this game. You meet a lot of interesting characters, and there's a few twist and turns in the plot as well, which keeps the story interesting and engaging.

    The world and settings of Vampyr is pretty amazing. The semi-open world of 1900-era of London is beautifully realized. We only get to explore at night so the surroundings can feel a bit gloomy and drab but in a game about vampires? It's perfect. Although not so big, the map splits into several districts so there's a few places to explore and characters to meet. Talking about characters, there are a number of citizens spread across the districts that you can track using citizen menu. You can monitor the district health, see citizen's illnesses and track clues. You can decide to cure sick citizens to avoid the district from becoming hostile, or you can decide to devour them instead to gain experience points.
