Alright!  After a false start, I got to play and finish the New Colossus. I finished this game just before the start of the new school semester on 1/20/25, both the core Blazkowicz story, and the Freedom Chronicles.Some things that stood out to me in the game included going to Venus where a very senile and paranoid Hitler resides and he is trying to make a movie about "Terror Billy" (Blazkowicz).

Another looking back at 2024. This one I finished (again) on 11/3.  I thought that I had played this game a while back, but I either didn't write about it, or both the search capabilities of Blogger and Xbox stink.Anyway, I started playing the New Colossus, when I realized that it was a sequel to The New Order, so I went back to this, only to realize that I had played it back in the XBOX

Here's a show I finished last month (August 2024) and thought I'd write a few things about it before it completely faded from memory. This is a Tom Clancy adaptation for Amazon Prime.  The series had four seasons, and the first two were the strongest in my view.  The series stars John Krasinski (of The Office fame) as Jack Ryan, and Wendell Pierce as James Greer (Ryan's Boss).The first season

Here's a game that took WAY too long for me to finish (considering how much I like this series). I finished June 2024 but I started October  2023.I was reluctant to start this game. I love the setting. I love the size of the map, and I love its "simplicity" when compared to the ENORMOUS maps that came with Origins, Odyssey, and Valhalla.  Don't get me wrong, I really enjoyed those games,

Another bit of a whackadoo series that I binged in June. This one is on AppleTV+, and it's questionable whether it's worth the watch 🙄 (spoilers).In this series, Amber Chesborough is an American scientist in Colombia researching psychedelics to treat addiction. When she is kidnapped by militants, her brother, Bambi, and her husband, Prince, both US Army Delta Force operators (in the same unit),

Here's one from May. I started this short series in January, but I really didn't get back to it until May.  I was bummed to learn that this came out a few years ago and I missed it, because it means that it most likely will not get a sequel.I don't know why JCVD dropped off the face of the planet in the 90s, but this mini series was a fun way to poke fun at all the tropes of action movies of that

 Here's another TV show from back in January that's been sitting in my drafts for a few months now.  This one is "Special Ops: Lioness" which "airs" on Paramount+ (at least in the US). Force Recon Marine Cruz Manuelos (Laysla de Oliveira) is recruited into the CIA's Lioness program and tasked with befriending the daughter of a terrorist financier. Apparently, the series is based on a

 I can't believe it's been this long since I last blogged about anything! It's been a busy semester 😬.  Well, let's kick off some warm-weather blogging with something that's been in my drafts since January! When we were returning from our trip to Greece this past January, I started watching "Rabbit Hole" on the return flight.  I caught the first episode and parts of the second before

Alright!  This is it! I think I've caught up with my game reviews from games that I've played over the past few years! 😂. This one I finished in November 2021.For this one, I returned to Ubisoft's Watchdog franchise. I loved the first one, and I was looking forward to this second one.  Now that the next Watchdogs is out (well, it's been out for a while), I thought I should catch up with

 OK, I know this is just a demo (and demos are...marketing), but this title on the xbox looks amazing 😁
