  • Old Game Reviews: Bard’s Tale 2

    This is the game that started it all for me with regards to RPGs and the fantasy gaming genre. I believe I acquired this game in the 5th grade but lent it out to a friend for a short period. However, he did not give me the manual back, which made the game a billion…

  • Old Game Reviews: SSI’s Gold Box Pool of Radiance

    When SSI was selected to create the first official AD&D CRPG series, many people were ecstatic. SSI was known back in the day for heavy strategy games and the model that the Gold Box series would employ was similar to another game SSI produced called Wizard’s Crown. In the future, I might write up a…

  • Prometheus: New Review After Re-Watch

    Last night I decided to re-watch Prometheus. I enjoy having a decent movie in the background while doing something once in a while. Prometheus is a great background movie because the movie is good and there’s some great scenes that I enjoy watching. So how does it stack up versus my initial few times watching?

  • Game of Thrones: Season 6 Episode 10 The Winds of Winter Review

    The show starts off with the trial of Ser Loras Tyrell where he is tried for essentially being gay. He admits to his guilt and accepts his fate in casting away the Tyrell name. Virtually, everyone important is at the Sept except Tommen, Ser Robert Strong, Qyburn, Pycelle and Cersei Lannister. Because it also is…

  • Game of Thrones: Season 6 Episode 9 Battle of the Bastards Review

    Easily, the most anticipated episodes of the season, Battle of the Bastards certainly lived up to and perhaps exceeded all hype. Certainly, this episode is not for the weak of heart, especially once we get to the North. Director Miguel Sapochnik is becoming my go-to director for creating intense, heart palpitating moments, considering he already…

  • Game of Thrones: Season 6 Episode 8 No One Review

    GoT E8 starts off with Lady Crane, playing Cersei still, mourning her dead son Joffrey. There’s more emotion in the way she portrays Cersei and she receives a sound applause for her efforts. Her portrayal is similar to how Arya suggested it as the grieving mother. Thereafter she returns to her chamber to find Arya…

  • Game of Thrones: Season 6 Episode 7 The Broken Man Review

    Game of Thrones starts unusual this week because we go directly into the show rather than the typical opening score. that leads the reintroduction of a much beloved character. Part of that you can see with the credits showing this actor’s name being billed up there.

  • Game of Thrones: Season 6 Episode 6 Blood of My Blood Review

    I wanted to change the format of this type of review a little. Typically, in the past I would just write up a summary rather than a truly thought provoking process. I felt that while it would help people wanting to catch up with what’s going on, that format wasn’t conducive for a more fluid…

  • Game of Thrones: Season 6 Episode 5 The Door Review

    This episode will be one of the harder ones to write about as quite a bit was emotional. The title The Door is pretty appropriate but that part will be revealed later.

  • Game of Thrones: Season 6 Episode 4, Book of the Stranger Review

    The scene starts where we see Jon starting to pack up and leave his history of Castle Black to the past. Edd at first inquires where he intends to go and Jon replies south to get warm (hey, Jon has a sense of humor now!). However, Edd understands what’s beyond The Wall and feels slightly…
