Over the years I’ve collected so many of these Thanksgiving “cards” that I can never decide which to use. So I simply use them all. Happy Thanksgiving.Read More →

So, I’m trying out the brand new Age of Mythology: Retold (2024) this week to mixed success. It’s a rerelease of the original Age of Mythology with major upgrades to some of the core mechanics. Basically, it’s the same game but has some new features, mainly to catch it up to today’s technology, I think. And I’m not sure I like it. Or, maybe, I’m just having trouble getting used to the new setup. We’ll see. For literally years, Age of Mythology (2002) from Ensemble Studies & Microsoft has been my all-time favorite game to play on the computer. Seriously, bar none, this is theRead More →

Back when everyone was gnashing their teeth over the fiaso of the New 52 in DC Comics, I knew that eventually the “real” Superman and hence my Lois & Clark would come back. What I never imagined they’d have the courage to do was give Lois & Clark a son. From what I can tell, just having Jon Kent in the picture has rejuvenated the Superman stories in ways that no one imagined. See, it’s not simply the addition of their son as the new Superboy, but also the whole dynamic of Lois & Clark as parents. Especially Lois. But also surprisingly what it brings outRead More →

In our spare time lately, my daughter and I have been tag-teaming each other replaying this game. Well I think I’m replaying it and she may be playing most of it for the first time. One of us will play and the other will navigate using the walk-through and then we’ll switch up playing and navigating. The strange thing is I don’t remember liking this game all that much when I played it the first time. But I’m really enjoying it this time. Weird. Or maybe it’s just the company.  🙂Read More →

I realized I hadn’t yet done a game list and there was only one to start off with. When I want to relax but not read or watch something, computer or video games are what I turn to. And this particular series is one of my all-time favorites. I say one of because I am also quite fond of Lego games on the Wii but I will get to those in another list. But I’ll just say up front that there’s just something very satisfying about smashing stuff that we won’t go into here. 😉 There are two things I love about this series. One,Read More →

In A Badger Way by Shelly Laurenston came out today and I bought it on ebook the second I woke up. I only realized yesterday the hero was Shen Li, the panda shifter from Bite Me. I think my brain just exploded. I honestly never thought she’d give Shen his own book. Also, this definitely means I get more Vic for sure & possibly Livy from my top favorite in the Pride series, Bite Me. Double yah! Now back to reading. Read More →

Okay, just for the record this post will probably contain some slight spoilers but, seriously, anyone who doesn’t have some idea of the major beats of this story has been living in a cave for the last three decades.  Anyway, my children got me these two videos for Mother’s Day. Boy, do they know their mother.  My son and I ended up watching it together on Mother’s Day and the only thing that really threw us was starting out with basically the New 52 Superman in The Death of Superman… who was hooked on and apparently dating Lois Lane. Not that we had any quibbleRead More →
