All reviewsHorizon Forbidden West2022
5 out of 5 starsI’m a huge fan of Horizon: Zero Dawn , to the point where I would probably place it way up there in my all-time top games list, precariously close to the top. (Not everything can be Mr. Shifty!) I was never very worried about the prospects of a sequel; just give me more Horizon, I said, and I’d be happy. Well, with Forbidden West, that’s pretty much what we got: more weapons, more enemies, more story, and more…
Far Cry 6
3 out of 5 starsit's me, the guy you will get tired of real quick There's so much to say about Far Cry 6! My brain is pretty full of, well, not exactly what I'd call "impressions," since I just beat the game, but more a series of thoughts. Here we go: The difficulty level seems far too lenient to me. Once you get a decent semi-auto rifle with a suppressor and armor-piercing bullets, you’re going to be able to clear out most camps…
Days Gone2019
5 out of 5 starsThere are some definite cons: slow-walking cutscenes, unskippable dialogue lines in the cutscenes, so on and so forth. BUT I think the pros far outweigh those. The action is exciting and I really like killing those freakers! I haven't written a game review in a long time but I hope you know that these feelings are sincere.

All articlesThe TV of 2020, A Very Timely Blog
Jan 12, 2021
Yolanda and I have relaxed into more of a casual TV-watching environment since the lockdown began. I’m not generally big on TV shows as I prefer to either play games or read, but there have been plenty of games and shows that have paired up well for paying half-attention to each of them. (“Podcast games,” I’m told people call them.) If I’m running around with Assassin’s Creed: Valhalla muted wh...
The Media Of 2019, A Very Timely Blog
May 16, 2020
I didn’t read as many new books in 2019 as I did in 2018 (caught up on some older stuff, mostly), but I did like these: Peter Clines: Dead Moon Clines never really aspires to much more than delivering some fun page-turnery stories, but that’s fine: he does it well. “Zombies...on the moon!” is a great tagline for a book. Clines’ writing is usually pretty easy-going and fun; if you haven’t checke...
Some thoughts on Magic The Gathering: Arena
Oct 2, 2019
Hey, I was bored Saturday so I wrote something on Facebook about MTGA and it got pretty long. Here it is! --------------------------------------------------------------------- I hope you're enjoying your Saturday! I wanted to say hello and say that I am really enjoying Magic: The Gathering: Arena. It is by no means a perfect game but it is a really fun rendition of Magic for the digital age and...
Mouse Madness
Aug 10, 2019
Hey GB, I made a couple of purchases lately that I've been enjoying so I figured I'd tell you about them! You may have heard some of my grousing about Logitech mice on the last UPFs. I don't hate them or anything; I've just always felt them to be a bit slight in build and I've never liked the placement of the side buttons. I was always an Intellimouse Explorer person, then shifted to Razer Deat...
