The trailer for Dishonored 2 looks pretty interesting!  The interesting games for xbox one keep piling up - I wonder if I can make it to the end of dissertation to buy one ;-)

The Risa summer event is back on Star Trek Online!  I think that the event goes until July, at which point Agents of Yesterday drops. Risa and the Winter Wonderland are both seasonal favorites of mine :-)  As much as people look down upon playing "space barbie" (i.e. focusing on how your character and ship look instead of DPS), I am looking forward to rounding out the summer outfits

A little something from a while back.  I was introduced to this song almost 20 years ago this time of year..

Nice!  There is a follow up...of some sort, for the game Watchdogs.  It seems that this game is not following the story of Aidan Pierce, the protagonist of the first Watchdogs. It also isn't taking place in Chicago, but rather it takes place in San Fransisco.   I think I'll have a ton of games to play once I am done dissertating if this keeps up ;-)

It's been an interesting experiment using the Motorola Razr as my daily driver, however with the lack of being able to just search the internet the phone didn't really do it for me (despite the satisfying "clack" you hear when you flip it closed).  I was looking on the web and I decided to buy a refurbished Nokia N8 to keep me going a bit until I find an android phone which I like. The

I think to start my #musicrewind tag I'll go with the theme of KPOP.   Back when I was working for Media Services (1999ish) many of my co-workers (and later employees) were Vietnamese.  Music that they played came from Vietnam, and a lot of the music they listened to was Vietnamese ballad-y type of music.  However, some of them did listed to music that I tended to listen to
