First Class Trouble Is Free On Epic

Monday, AGDQ began and you can watch it online. Also, Genshin Impact updated to the excitement of no one that I want to talk to in person. Tuesday, the Dead Space pre-orders included the sequels, and Dungeons 4 (Dungeon Keeper 4.4) is having a closed beta test later this month. Wednesday,…

Star Trek: Lower Decks “Terminal Provocations” Review

Ahh the episode with a small focus on my favorite group of terrorists, it must be former Survivor winner Cochran’s “Terminal Provocations.” If there is a bit of a dip in season 1 of Lower Decks, “Cupid’s Errant Arrow” and “Terminal Provocations” are where it…

Gross (PC) – Review

Instantly, with a name like Gross and the art style of choice, you’d think the tower defense FPS title would intend to shock and horrify you with disgusting metaphors based around poo. A bit like The Binding of Isacc but with an almost voxel-style art…

Dungeons 4 Closed Beta Happening This Month

If there is one thing that is missing in the hyperfocused development of “retro” games to make some of us nostalgic, it has to be the dungeon management genre. The days of Dungeon Keeper are dead after EA did that mobile nonsense, and though…

Kerbal Space Program Is Free On Epic

Monday, nothing happened because it is the first week in January and everyone is still sending out-of-office emails before they can be bothered to deal with people. Though last week we covered that Dishonored 2 is available with Prime. Tuesday, Payday 3 was given a Steam…

Star Trek: Lower Decks “Cupid’s Errant Arrow” Review

It’s the one with the Quito! I said it in the first review a few weeks ago now, but Lower Decks is the series for the biggest of Star Trek nerds to enjoy all that is theirs. Similar to what Star Wars fans get with the forty-million series every…

Prime Gaming – January 2023

“New Year, new me!” they say. Well, I’m still the same grumpy old man moaning about Prime Gaming, so the new year is about as refreshing as a stale fart. As always, you can pick up a lot of “in-game content” or…

Deathloop (PC) – Review

I might have most of the games developed by Arkane: The studio behind the Dishonored series. Specifically, the action-RPG Arx Fatalis, the reboot of the Prey series, and most recently, Deathloop. The newest addition to the French portion of the studio’s catalog is a retro-futuristic disfigured…

The Devil Wears Prada (Film) – Review

A few years ago now at another (dead) site, I wrote about how my tastes differ from most men my age. Unlike other 20-something men who probably like watching Tom Cruise pretend he’s actually entertaining, I adore Aline Brosh McKenna’s adaptation of…

Keiran’s Reads of 2022

Warning: Some of the books in this article are for mature audiences, reader discretion is advised. Surprisingly, last year’s article about the books I read (and current reads) somehow sparked a bit of interest. To me, it was a clown talking about…
