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 →

Cause I’m sure there are some British superheroes in the comics but I’m drawing a blank. Name any of today’s superheroes and you can bet they’ll be American. Iron Man, Wonder Woman, Spiderman: the list goes on and on. It’s easy to think we don’t have a single one to call our own this side of the Atlantic. But maybe we do. Homegrown superheroes: which UK characters and legends should team up? Oh, OK… that makes more sense. This was actually a fascinating article to me for a number of reasons. Let’s see, we have Robin Hood, King Arthur, Beowulf, Prospero, Cuchulain & Sherlock Holmes mentioned.Read More →

After diving in head first and posting like mad to test out some features and plugins for the last month or so, I decided it’s time for the real blogging to begin. But first I spent some time today begining to update the About page. It is by no means finished but it’s a start in the right direction. Also just so everyone knows, my plan for now is to post 3 or 4 times a week. Usually Monday, Wednesday and Friday with the occasional Saturday Superhero post just for fun. Ok, sure, that doesn’t mean I won’t be posting about superheroes the rest ofRead More →

Several years ago my son ran across a game “Let’s Play” on YouTube for Stardew Valley. At the time it was a brand new independently created (by one person) farming simulation game. He was mildly interested in getting it. Eventually. However, when his sister and I saw that video we wanted it immediately. Like, download it now.  And we were right.  It is probably one of the sweetest games out there, in several different ways. It’s a very easy game to play plus it also has a very “sweet” mood. Casual is an understatement when describing Stardew Valley. You can do as little or asRead More →

I have recently discovered the joys of listening to podcasts. But I’m picky and it took me awhile to find some podcasts I really, really like. Well, two. The other is a goal I’ve set for myself. The first is the Adventures of Superman radio serial on Botar’s Old Time Radio. I love listening to this. It’s just so cute. Yes, I said cute. And there is a lot of it to get through. (1444 – 12 minute episodes) One thing though, I knew before I started listening to it that the character of Jimmy Olsen was introduced in this radio serial. I didn’t know thatRead More →

I make no secret about my love for Lois & Clark. I saved this one for Valentines Day because it makes me smile. So curl up with your super bestie. Or a good book. Both work.Read More →
