A few months ago, I started watching Critical Role. It’s a show where some voice actors (some of whom you know) play Dungeons & Dragons live on Twitch. The recordings are then uploaded to Youtube. I started with episode 1 and...

Retail is a hard business, especially if you run a mom-and-pop shop. You simply cannot compete with Wal-Mart, Target, and Amazon. Even Gamestop, a massive, international operation, is struggling. Things are only going to get harder in ...

Last year I wrote a blog in which I made predictions about E3. It was a lot of fun. With everything that's going on this year, and E3 itself being cancelled, I honestly haven't even thought about the whole thing. Just this morning I re...

Hello friends!  Quarantine has been starting to really get to me. I desperately need some socialization! So we're going to attempt to play a Jackbox Party Pack game. Anyone who wants to is welcome to join. This blog will explain w...

Last night, my wife and I spent the evening at Dave & Buster's in Salt Lake City. It was our first trip to one of these places. I was excited to try it out. And we had 2 gifts cards worth $25 each, so most of the evening would be f...

Hello friends! It's been awhile since I've written a blog. But I'm happy to take a moment and share with you the list of games I beat in 2019. I'm stealing taking inspiration from RocketKnight's Blog. Go check his out when you have a m...

(note: all spooky gifs are unrelated to the actual content of my post) I do not enjoy Halloween as a holiday. I like certain things. I like candy, obviously. I like silly, spooky stuff. I also think it’s cool for kids to be able ...

This blog is a mental exercise. I have imagined that I am an intern at Microsoft. Phil Spencer’s secretary advises me that they are buying up a bunch of video game studios and they need a list of studios to consider acquiring. Th...

*My apologies for the lack of pictures, I had to remove them to get this blog to publish* I have recently played through The Witcher III: Wild Hunt for the very first time. It was an incredible experience. It’s definitely one of ...

This month's Band of Bloggers prompt is brought to you by yours truly. It is my final prompt as a member of the BoB team. The theme is all about heroes. Talk about a hero in a video game. What makes them a hero? I would like to take th...

Hello friends and welcome to my final Band of Bloggers prompt! That's right, I'm leaving the team. Thankfully, the team has gained a couple of awesome new members in the last few months and you're all in great hands moving forward. If ...

Over Memorial Day weekend, I spent my time at my aunt's cabin in Colorado. It was a lovely little vacation that I sorely needed. It helped me disconnect from the stresses of life. I witnessed a Bald Eagle shitting in midair. I relaxed....

Hello friends! E3 2019 is fast approaching. It is my second favorite time of the year, right after Christmas! It's like the Superbowl or the Kentucky Derby, but for gamers. So many exciting things happening! Some years have been much b...

This month's prompt for Band of Bloggers is To The Movies! The handsome LaTerry invited everyone to write a blog about a movie based on a game, or a game based on a movie. When I first learned of this, my plan was to watch the Assassin...

I recently wrote a lengthy 2-part blog in which I ranked all of the MCU movies from least to most favorite. As I wrote that, and as I recently watched several of the films, I came up with a few ideas of what we might see in Endgame and...

This month's theme for Band of Bloggers is all about getting out of your comfort zone in gaming. Try something you normally wouldn't, or something you actively dislike. I wasn't sure what to do with this. If I don't like a game, it's u...

Welcome back to my blog ranking the MCU films from my least to most favorite! This is where the list gets hard. The gaps between the remaining films are narrow. I saved the best for last. Perhaps you'll agree, but perhaps not. Please s...

My friends, we are fast approaching the day when Avengers: Endgame is unleashed upon the world. This film will encapsulate more than a decade of film-making and universe-building. Even if the movie ends up sucking (and I don't think it...

This month we were all challenged by a rather dashing fellow to write about a co-op game for Band of Bloggers. Check that prompt out here.  Last night I finished my first playthrough of Halo 5: Guardians. I played through it with...

I'm a big fan of Halo. To the point where I even wrote fanfiction as a teenager about it. It's been part of my life for many years now. However, for a myriad of reasons, I have not had an XBox One this generation until a couple of week...

This past month we were blessed with a delightful prompt from the newest member of the BoB crew, Shoggoth2588. He did a marvelous job and we are so happy to have him! But there is still room for more on our little ship. If you have any...

Hello and welcome to this week's discussion of The Orville! If you missed last week's, you can find it here. And here is our disclaimer: Full spoilers are below. Again, the primary purpose of this series of blogs is to creat a spa...

This month's prompt for Band of Bloggers is all about short and sweet games. There are so many options for this I didn't initially know what direction to go. I decided not to write about 1 specific game. Instead, I chose 3 games that I...

Hello and welcome to this week's discussion of The Orville! I'm sorry this one is is late. It was a busy weekend for me and our internet completely crapped out on Friday (which is when I normally watch the show via Hulu). If you missed...

A couple of months ago I played The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask for the first time. I really enjoyed it. I've had some time to look back and reflect upon it and to think about where it stands within the series. I decided to wri...

This month's Band of Bloggers prompt is about looking back. LaTerry has asked us to play a game we have previously missed out on and then write about it. I'm mostly not following this direction, but I slightly am.  My wife and I ...

Last week I wrote a blog about my top TV of 2018. Before that I wrote a blog about my favorite games and music of 2018. I'm finishing off this trilogy of blogs with a look at my favorite new movies of 2018.  It was a huge yea...

Welcome back to this week's discussion of The Orville! I'm a smidge behind my time this week, so I have this up later than I would like. But hey maybe more people have time to read blogs on Sundays? Guess we'll see. If you missed last ...
