  • The Lost Joy of Updating Our Devices

    I had to update Windows on my gaming PC this morning and it got me thinking about how we’ve lost the joy of updates for our devices (mostly). When I got my Asus ROG Ally, I gave my Steam Deck to my wife (where it sits unused 😥), but I always looked forward to updates…

  • New Theme – Same Old Site

    I decided to get rid of the old theme I was using and switch to once of the fancy supported themes, but now the site looks lame as hell. All my pics went away, even those associated with the posts. I will need to figure out how to at least make it vaguely attractive again…

  • What have I been playing during home isolation?

    In California, we’ve been isolating at home for what seems like forever, but has only been a few weeks. I’m able to continue working from home, which is great, though pretty draining without all the social interactions and other disruptions a typical day at the office would bring. I joked with my colleagues that I…

  • Loving God of War!

    I enjoyed pretty much all the content available for Assassins Creed Odyssey (for the moment, I hear that more is coming, including a level cap increase, which I hate), and have finally picked up God of War again! I started it and beat Baldur last year, but then put it aside for other games. Well…

  • I’m hooked on Assassin’s Creed Odyssey!

    I’ve been playing Assassin’s Creed Odyssey almost exclusively for a month, and I’m addicted! The plot is very compelling, at least what I’ve completed so far, and the gameplay is fun and almost never annoying. The use of Ikaros, your eagle, to scout out enemies and lootable chests is great, and the ability to call…

  • Enjoying Destiny 2

    I’ve been playing Destiny 2 exclusively since it came out, which means Diablo III, Elder Scrolls Online, No Man’s Sky, LOTRO, Star Trek Online, etc. have been gathering dust (digitally speaking). I miss them all, but the compulsion to level up in Destiny 2 is an addiction that takes precedence. I imported my Destiny characters…

  • Lack of gear diversity in Destiny makes it a chore to play

    How can I possibly say there is lack of gear diversity on Destiny, when there are hundreds of items in each category, more than anyone can possibly know, and all of our vaults and gear slots are completely full? Well, I think the current light level scheme and rewards mechanism are forcing us into using…

  • Disaster in Destiny

    For the first time in weeks, I played Destiny last night, and I made a huge mistake. My Warlock had a bunch of the SRL helmets that I’d won during the excellent Sparrow Racing League matches in the mailbox, since I don’t have a ton of vault space. Now these were nice helmets, ranging from…

  • Hits and Misses in Destiny’s House of Wolves Expansion

    I played WAY too much Destiny over the last week because of the new House of Wolves expansion. In some ways, HoW has revitalized the game. In other ways, it has made it more depressing. First the good: While HoW doesn’t have a raid, it adds new (and quite fun) story missions, though now that…

  • Please save us from violent video games!

    As a followup on my earlier tweet regarding violent video games, I offer this post. For those that didn’t read the tweet, I relate how important it is that the President and the Government protect us from violent video games. I can’t count the number of times I’ve been blasted through a plate glass window…
