One of the local competitions is back! The North Shore is host to a small local fried chicken sandwich chain called Flip the Bird and since 2021 they've had a little friendly competition between their various locations.  Each location develops its own signature sandwich for the month, and customers are encouraged to visit all locations, try them out, and then vote. There's also a raffle at the

Alright!  After a false start, I got to play and finish the New Colossus. I finished this game just before the start of the new school semester on 1/20/25, both the core Blazkowicz story, and the Freedom Chronicles.Some things that stood out to me in the game included going to Venus where a very senile and paranoid Hitler resides and he is trying to make a movie about "Terror Billy" (Blazkowicz).

 Last week Paramount released the Section 31 (made for TV) movie, set in the Star Trek Universe. As a fan of Trek I watched it, so here are a few thoughts, along with spoilers.  Don't claim you weren't forewarned ;-)There's a lot of hate about this film online, even before it dropped on Paramount+.  The familiar chorus of "It's not Star Trek" or "This isn't Star Trek, where's the optimism"

 2024 was a very Wrestling year.  I came across a few documentaries and docuseries on Netflix about the WWE (aka WWF when I was a kid), and this kind of kickstarted my interest in watching additional content with this kind of theme. Once I finished the various documentaries, I started watching Heels, which follows two brothers who have inherited a small-town wrestling circuit, the Duffy Wrestling

 And...here's my TVTime Year In Review, which they call a Rewind (do people get the reference anymore? 😅).I am not surprised that my first tracked viewing was Googlebox UK, there is usually some Christmas or New Year's special that's available on Channel 4.  I am also not surprised at the "Drama Devotee" style of watching because last year I spent a lot of time binging all the various

Another quick binge near the end of 2024. This one is Agatha All Along, on Disney+. The idea behind this series is that three years after being trapped under a magical spell in the town of Westview, New Jersey (at the end of WandaVision), the witch Agatha Harkness escapes with the help of a mysterious teenager who wishes to face the trials of the legendary Witches' Road. Without her magical powers,

2024 saw the final hoorah for the Arrowverse with the end of Superman & Lois. With this finale, we ended the10 year arc of the Arrowverse, or 23 years of broadcast TV DC Universe if you count Smallville since Superman & Lois is a bookend to the Smallville series which started in 2001.Anywho... Superman & Lois is actually one of those parallel universe shows which was initiated by the Crisis

Another looking back at 2024. This one I finished (again) on 11/3.  I thought that I had played this game a while back, but I either didn't write about it, or both the search capabilities of Blogger and Xbox stink.Anyway, I started playing the New Colossus, when I realized that it was a sequel to The New Order, so I went back to this, only to realize that I had played it back in the XBOX

Both Google Photos and Flickr got into the "year in review" trend.  I decided to include them both here because they are both photo-related.  Flickr is a bit more basic with some stats, whereas Google creates some nice videos for you.  If you've gone through and have tagged people in your photos, one of  the recap videos it creates is your most photographed people (which is

Catching up on writring a little bit about TV and video games I watched (or played) this past year... To kick it off, I thought I'd write a little bit about Motherland: Fort Salem.  For October I meant to watch themed movies and shows (you know, horror and witchy stuff), but I only managed to binge this series 🙃. I finished it just before Halloween so I was within my self-imposed time frame
