Back in the day, we used to watch Mad Men when it was on TV on a week-by-week basis, but by around Season 5 things were too f*cked up, and there didn't seem to be much redeeming value to the main characters, so we slowly fell off.  This year, being the completionist that I am, I wanted to watch the seasons I had missed out after 2010(?) when we stopped watching. Spoilers obviously, but then again

Time does fly!  This year is the 25th anniversary of Star Trek: Enterprise (or just "Enterprise" as it originally aired?), and Star Trek Online has an anniversary ship bundle to mark the occasion.  I don't particularly care for the aesthetics of the ships of that era, but what caught my eye with this advertisement is the way they did it.  The ad for the new ship bundle feels very much

Well now... after completing the first Cobra Kai game, I thought I'd continue with the sequel, Dojos Rising.  I was doing pretty well with this game, but after a few frustrating weekends, I decided that this was going to be a Did Not Finish kind of game for me.  Pronounced DNF on March 22 😹The game essentially picks up after the first game ends, and somewhere in Season 4 (?) of the series.

Back in the day, when "multimedia PCs" were new, and I had just returned from Greece, I used to spend a lot of time (relatively speaking) on Saturdays at Tower Records on my way to the Public Library. It was truly a multimedia wonderland, with music (in various formats), videos (also in various formats), and different types of video games (mostly of the computer games variety, I don't recall seeing

Well, here's one final Year In Review. This time from my TV tracking app (which also tracks movies).  Some things are still predictable (I watch a lot of MasterChef). Some things are not totally accurate - for instance, I didn't binge WWE Smackdown, but I did mark that I had watched certain seasons (back in the last 90s/early 2000s), which TVTime counted as having watched last January.  The

Continuing on with my vintage sci-fi binge (this might be the last one for now...until I discover more), today I present to you William Shatner's TekWar.This series started life as a series of novels written by Shatner, or written by Ron Goulart, who seems to be uncredited and Shatner lending his name to them for exposure/promotional purposes...Anyway, it seems like Shatner, after Star Trek, just needed

Welp, Stranger Things is officially concluded!If you haven't seen any of the series...why are you reading this post? I am nor responsible for spoilers ;-)  That said, the final season was fine.  I think that the show "lost" something by having the final three seasons being release every three years.  The first three seasons kind of flowed together, despite the 2018 "break" between seasons

 Well... as I was clearing up some emails on hotmail (yes, I still use old school hotmail) I saw a notice on TrueAchivements for my XBOX Story; basically a Year-in-review, but for the entire duration of my xbox use, starting with the 360 which tracked achivements.I don't remember if I've shared this in the past, so sharing (again?) while it's fresh in my mind. The numbers are clearly off. 

During the winter break I picked up "The Matrix: Path of Neo" for the PS2. The PS2 is a generation of consoles that I totally missed.  I remember playing the PS1 at friend's houses, then those friends went to Sega's Dreamcast for the subsequent generation of consoles, so the PS2 is a total mystery to me.  Since this game isn't backward compatible on the xbox (it also shipped on the OG xbox),

Just before I finished my vacation last week, and needed to get back to work, I finished this lil' game.  I started this back in August. I started this because I thought it would be a game I could jump in and out of during a very (very very very very) busy term, but in reality I didn't have much of a chance to play around with it too much. Much of my play through happened during the Thanksgiving
