From the days of old, a blast from the past
Author’s Note: This post was originally posted to TAY on 12/05/2017. It is now being reposted to TAY2. Upon reflection the title and the image were a little clickbaity for my taste, but given the article was by far my most read and controversial article (at least judging by the comments) I ever wrote, I … Read more
The Witcher 3: Hearts of Stone is the first of two expansion packs for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. The developer, CD Projekt Red, has already released a lot of free DLC for the game and the main game is one of the longest and most satisfying RPGs of 2015. So with all the free DLC and … Read more
Random and silly… a few of my favorite ALL THE THINGS! memes. Right. Definitely, we want… When was that again? Share your favorites!
(Originally posted 2016-03-30) Matt Sayer had a great article on why he’s a fan of the LEGO video games as a space (and money) saver over the real thing. Like him, I’m totally onboard with Traveller’s Tales’ series of licensed games. I’ve played at least some part of most of them, and own almost all of … Read more

Then I decided to put some rules on it: The song had to be written for the movie. Not a previous song used … Read more
(Originally posted 2015-03-11) So my son’s watching Sprout, and there’s this episode of Thomas and Friends (showing as I type, but I caught it before the other day), where Emily winds up making a helluva mess by trying to put flowers all over the quarry (and causing accidents with Edward and Thomas as a result) in order … Read more
