The Americans[spoilers] Last month I finally finished The Americans. I had started watching this back in 2017 (ish?) but after the first season I fell off. I've been meaning to return to finish it, and I finally binged it this past summer.  The series is spy thriller set during the Cold War. Our main characters are  Elizabeth and Philip Jennings, Russian spies who were trained in Western-style

 Wow!  A second Star Trek game announced in the same week.  Cool!This one appears to be a "Survive the Delta Quadrant" sort of game.  Not quite the survival horror one that I shared yesterday, but survival nevertheless.  The cutout view from this trailer reminds me a bit of Trexel's (the original pixelated one, not the isometric reboot...)Looking forward to seeing this in Steam

 There's a new Star Trek game coming out for VR, titled "Start Trek: Infection".  A survival horror game is a bit strange for Star Trek, but given that Strange New Worlds opened the door with its "zombie episode" this season, this game doesn't seem soooo out of place. In the game you appear to be playing a Vulcan who is infected with [whatever plant or viral agent] that's transforming

A while back, I came across another forgotten 90s era TV series, Robocop! This was a one-season series, Canadian-made, which really felt a lot like the first Robocop movie. The small interludes and news commentary from OCP-sponsored television shows really captured the dystopian capitalistic and consumeristic culture portrayed by Verhoven's Robocop.The pilot episode runs two hours, and was adapted

Oh, come on, Mozilla!Looks like Mozilla is shutting down Pocket (originally known as "Read it later").The move is not unexpected, if you've been paying attention to Mozilla's developments over the past few years.  They've divested from the Open Badges things that they helped create, they divested from the VR stuff they also created, and now they are killing off another legitimately useful tools. 

 Και αφού είναι εργατική πρωτομαγιά, να και ένα επίκαιρο πόστερ 😉Ήρθε η άνοιξη νομίζω! Καιρός να βγάλω και τα καλοκαιρινά από την αποθήκη.

I finished this a month or so ago, but decided to jot down a couple of thoughts before this totally escapes me.  As I am going through a wrestling phase again (what am I? I teenager? jeez...), I came across this show on Netflix.The story starts 1985 LA. Ruth Wilder is a struggling actress who auditions for a wrestling circuit called Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling (GLOW). She and GLOW's director

 Recently I binged the first three seasons of What If, so I thought I'd write a few short thoughts on it. The premise of the story is that there are  Watchers who sit outside of space and time, and they are observers of the multiverse. So...what if Agent Carter took the Supersoldier Serum instead of Steve Rogers.  What if there were zombies? (this was interesting) What if the Avengers

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).
