  • Bookworm, part 2

    So my reading quest continues as I completed three more books before the end of January; Contact Harvest, Foundation, and Foundation and Empire. While I enjoyed Contact Harvest with its attempt at exploring parts of the Haloverse that have not been touched upon much in the games, it seems to elementary when followed up by […]

  • Bookworm.

    For my birthday my wife got me two books people had recommended to me; Old Man’s War and The Lies of Locke Lamora. First, I read Old Man’s War and it was fun light sci-fi romp. Easy to read with likable characters and a setting that did not take much thought to get into. Though […]

  • Aargh Matey.

    For some reason I did not post my thoughts on the Pirates of the Burning Sea when I was playing to this blog, so forgive me as I post some now. Playing PotBS was a roller coaster for me. A slow pull up, then a thrilling decent with a quick loopy loop, and then a […]

Summary: While the game struggles in some areas, it was still an engaging experience all the way through. Details:I really enjoy the game, but the UI for managing […]

  • Some thoughts on my 360

    It has been almost a year since I received my xbox360, and I do not think I have mentioned it much. Which is probably due to me not playing it as much as messing around on my computer. That is not to say I have not played anything, I have and figured now would be […]

  • Hellgate: A Few Weeks Later

    Yes the game has problems. Some of these problems are big, most are medium to small; depending on who you ask. But it does have problems. That fact has not stopped me from playing. A lot. Really the basic mechanics of killing baddies, getting stuff, leveling up and killing more stuff is fun. They got […]
