Hades is a once-in-a-generation gem. If I could wipe my memory to play it all over again from scratch to experience it again, I would. Well deserved! Read more
Word of warning. I’ve been in Alpha, and then Alpha skip ahead since those rings launched. If you are invited, make sure that you understand that you are truly in for bugs that will affect your experience using the Xbox. You might lose audio for days, or not be able to use your favorite app. Also make sure you have a… Read more
My daughter took her first steps while I was playing Capture the Flag on Colossus on Halo 2. I thought my teammates were cheering for me because I was so excited, but then I found out that they were really screaming at me because I didn’t stop the flag carrier and the other team won.
I was berated by a person with the… Read more
The character of Clint was well done, the story however is so short and under developed you would think they barely put any effort to it.
For those of you wondering why the Hulk has a grey hair and a beard. That’s The Maestro. He’s an evil Hulk from Earth-9200, which is a post-apocalyptic alternate future timeline caused by nuclear war.

I just starting a Destiny break. Hoping to come back sometime in season 13, but I’ve been running the game since quarantine myself. Time to hop off that treadmill and explore some other stuff for a little bit. Read more

I’m one of those people who can run Cyberpunk fairly well on PC (and my rig is probably a mid range, I only wish I had a gazillion dollars for a pc!), but even though it looks great, there are still a ton of bugs. Still fun, but buggy as hell. The problem is that buggy ass games are not the rarity, games that play… Read more
