TV Entertainment 2022 | Year in Review
Sunday, Jan 8 2023, 10:49 Entertainment, Films, Movies, Social Media, Social Networks, Technology, Television, trakt, tvtime, YearInReview TVTime, the app I use to track what I've watched on TV (and in various streaming services) gave me a "rewind" this year. I think some of my stats are a little skewed because I marked a lot of episodes watched in 2022 when I had really watched them in years prior, and I only really rated like 4% of the episodes that I watched. Maybe in 2023 I'll rate things more consistently to see what

Xbox gaming | Year in review
Friday, Jan 6 2023, 13:17 Entertainment, Microsoft, MMORPG, video games, VideoGames, XBOX, YearInReviewThe final Year In Review 2022 is all about gaming, which for me means mostly xbox (if you exclude STO). I am actually a little surprised that I only played 7 games last year (completed 6, still working on AC: Valhalla - I am not sure what counts as "complete" on TrueAchievements). Perhaps I shouldn't be, most games were rather large games and based on my stats a lot of gameplay took place around periods

Podcast | Year in review
Monday, Jan 2 2023, 12:59 Education, Entertainment, Podcast, Technology, YearInReview Well, it's January, so that means that various apps that you use, that collect various analytics for you (*cough* *cough*) have created some nifty year-in-reviews for you.I thought I'd kick it off this year with my Podcatcher app (PocketCast). I don't recall getting a year-in-review for this last year, so it was interesting to see it pop up. Admittedly, I don't think I listened to as many

Stargirl | Show wrap-up
Monday, Dec 19 2022, 10:06 comics, CW, DC, Entertainment, HBO, review, stargirl, Television It seems like the DC television show universe is slowly being killed off at the CW. Most of the Arrowverse shows are cancelled, with the last one standing - the Flash - wrapping up in 2023 I think. I was thinking that these shows could live on HBO Max, but even HBO Max is being gutted (or so it seems). Anyway. This three-season television show was kind of fun. It follows

Review: Star Trek: Borg
Friday, Dec 9 2022, 09:59 audio drama, audiobooks, Books, Entertainment, goodreads, review, Social Media, Social Networking, Star Trek, StarTrek, video games, VideoGames Star Trek: Borg by Hilary J. Bader My rating: 4 of 5 stars This is the audio component of the FMV (full motion video) game Star Trek Borg which came out in 1996 (if I am not mistaken). Basically, strip out all the little gameplay elements and what you have left is a nice little movie. This is the audio component of that. The video is available on

Review: Gears of War: The Rise of Raam
Tuesday, Dec 6 2022, 12:03 Comic Book, Entertainment, GearsOfWar, goodreads, review, Social Media, Social Networks, video games, VideoGames Gears of War: The Rise of Raam by Kurtis J. Wiebe My rating: 3 of 5 stars This comic compilation was fine. In the game, I don't recall really getting a ton of the backstory for the locusts given that the entirety of the story gets told from the human perspective. As such, I found it a little hard to care a ton about the story in this collection. Interesting,

Review: Gears of War Omnibus, Vol. 2
Sunday, Dec 4 2022, 11:58 Comic Book, Entertainment, GearsOfWar, goodreads, review, Social Media, Social Networks, video games, VideoGames Gears of War Omnibus, Vol. 2 by Karen Traviss My rating: 4 of 5 stars I enjoyed both volumes of the Gears of War omnibuses. The first omnibus bridges the gap between Gears of War 1 and 2, followingMarcus Fenix and Delta Squad in the battle against the Locusts! Find out what happened after the Lightmass Bombing and how the Locusts will react to this devastating

Mirror Incursion Critical!
Saturday, Oct 29 2022, 11:12 achievements, Entertainment, MMORPG, Star Trek, Technology, video games, VideoGamesWoohoo!!! It took a while...but I finally got all of the Mirror Incursion Research DOFF (duty officer) missions completed with a critical rating! As a result, I got the nice little title of "Mirror Infiltrator" in Star Trek Online (and around 50,000 dilithium, which I don't have much use for at the moment). This DOFF accolade had 10 missions to complete, and when I originally tried to play through

Back on the Mac!
Tuesday, Oct 25 2022, 17:00 Apple, bootcamp, Entertainment, Games, Mac Mini, MacOS, MMORPG, Star Trek, Technology, video games, VideoGames, Windows, Work Well, to be fair, I was never gone, but my "daily driver" for the past 3 years (during the early days of COVID) has been an aging Dell Optiplex 9010, which was a hand-me-down. When my work-issued Surface Pro 3 died an untimely death in 2017 (and wasn't replaced), I refurbished the Optiplex which I had saved in our equipment closet for just such an emergency occasion. The original use case was

Review: Hellsing, Vol. 10
Monday, Oct 24 2022, 22:30 anime, Books, Entertainment, goodreads, Japanese, manga, review, Social Media, Social Networks, vampires Hellsing, Vol. 10 by Kohta Hirano My rating: 3 of 5 stars Well... this was an anticlimactic ending. 🙄. I was first introduced to Hellsing in Anime form in 2001. The original ending of having "Incognito" as the big bad made little sense, but then I read somewhere on the web that the manga was not complete at that point, so the animators needed to modify the
