OK, this was pretty funny, and it had Mythic Quest vibes 😹. I love the "play as the horse" mechanic, as well as the new "controller" that they devised for this April Fool's 😹Direct link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JyohMcAT8no

Another gaming-related April Fools. Again, I am aware of S.T.A.L.K.E.R. as a series, but have not started any of the games (I am sure I have them on GOG or Steam...) I love the "I am taking this Photoshop request literally" aspect of this prank ;-)Direct Link in case the embed does not work: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KWl1itEoJNM

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... 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

Next up in my 2025 Year In Review roundup, is xbox.  Again, this year, Microsoft didn't do anything official (boooo!!!), but we've got True Achievements to the rescue.  Most notable here is that casual games are less prominent on my account this year since I stopped playing Casual games on my pixel tablet while watching television, so the games here represent just xbox gaming.  The

This is my other November binge on Netflix ;-) I am a huge fan of the Splinter Cell series and got excited when this was announced earlier this year (a game that picks up after Blacklist would be nice, but I guess we'll take this for now!)In this series, the story finds an older Sam Fisher living in isolation in rural Poland, having left the world of espionage behind. His quiet life is interrupted
