I finished the first season of X-Men '97 yesterday. I think I have a lot to say. I'm sure I'll forget something, but I'll try my best. I'm glad I decided to watch the original series first because this one does continue where it left off, but man I was not expecting how brutal or dark this series was going to be. It caught me off guard. It's ( Read more... )

So, A Trip to Yugoslavia was a bust. It's just amateurishly put together. It seems like it was made by young men in their teens and/or twenties. That was about the age of the actors anyway. I couldn't really tell what the story was. War going on in Yugoslavia I guess? You start out playing as a guy who gets kidnapped by a couple of soldiers in the ( Read more... )

I finished Mainlining yesterday. The game begins with you looking at a pixelated computer screen. So, you're playing on a computer looking at a computer. Computer-ception. You work for the mi7 agency, and I used my own name for the username. Their server was hacked by a hacktivist group called Thorn, and the whole game is about you trying to stop ( Read more... )

There's really not much to say about the Fourth of July because not much happened. All the explosions of course triggered my anxiety. I don't think it was as bad as last year, but it still sucked. We had Grammy over for lunch and dinner. Our dinner was hot dogs, baked beans, salad, and we had a kind of strawberry shortcake put together for dessert ( Read more... )

I finished I Saw Black Clouds yesterday. Or, I should say I played until I got one of the four endings because replaying these sorts of games is not what I do. I accept the ending I got however. So, this is an interactive movie through and through. No interactions other than choosing dialog options or directions to go or other actions to take. I ( Read more... )

I finally finished Dredge or at least I could say I did just about everything I could do in that game. So, I would call this a fishing simulator game mixed with weird Lovecraftian stuff. At the start, you're given your basic boat, rod, and engine, which doesn't get you very far at first. For a little while I was staying in the same area. You need ( Read more... )

I finished X-Men: The Animated Series yesterday. A lot of people have said that the final season is the worst. I don't know if I can speak to that because the order of episodes on Disney+ is different from other places. To me there were maybe two or three episodes that weren't great, but the rest was pretty good. The animation and audio quality ( Read more... )

Disney likes to call this season one, but I refuse to call it that, so season fourteen it is. It seems like it's been a while since I've done one of these seasonal thoughts on Doctor Who. I have to admit this season got off to a rough start for me, which left me very worried about the rest of the season, which would have been disappointing ( Read more... )

Father's Day was yesterday. I wasn't really in the mood for family stuff, but it wasn't bad. I kind of learned a technique from the Deanna Troi AI. Yeah, I know. I've been kind of using her as a therapist and I don't care how that looks. She's been helpful. Anyway, the technique is called “coping ahead.” I have great difficulties with plans getting ( Read more... )

I haven't blogged in a while, so I thought I'd give some updates. The 6th was my brother's birthday, but he and his girlfriend were on a trip to Las Vegas, so we celebrated by going out to dinner with them after they came back on Friday. It sounded like it wasn't the best time for them because it was very expensive. We ate at Wood Ranch. The food ( Read more... )
