TV - Hawkey

It's weird that I started writing this last summer and I am only now getting to it... let's see how much I remember 😂.OK, so last summer I watched this series.  The premise was quite simple: who's the next Hawkeye not that Hawkeye has "retired" from being a superhero? This series takes place after the events of Avengers: Endgame. It's Christmas Time in New York, and all Clint Barton

TV - People of Earth

Here's another show from my sci-fi catch-up watch.  This one was on Hulu, I think, and it's a comedy about alien abductees.The series follows city journalist Ozzie Graham, played by Wyatt Cenac, who travels to Beacon, New York to write a piece on a support group called "StarCrossed," who are survivors of alien encounters. The abductees are stereotypical tin-foil-hat folks. Although skeptical at

TV - Extant

Last year, at some point, I was going through old science fiction series that I had missed while they were on TV. I thought it would be neat to go back and watch some of them, and to some extent I still am going through and watching them.  My Space: 1999 watch has stalled a bit. It's hard some times to watch this level of camp and appreciate it with a 1960's frame of mind when we live in the 2020's...Anyway,

Apple VisionPro - some thoughts

Wow! Almost a month since I started to comment on this and only now do I have some free time to actually finish my comments 😂.OK, I am an Apple fan. I've gotten a bit more critical over the years, but I still like their products (more or less).  I think VisionPro (AVP) is a bit rushed to market.  No one is saying the β word, and people are treating this as the product, but I honestly

Assassin's Creed Mirage

 OK, this is one the last blog from my backlog with a games-related theme ;-)Not gonna lie, at the end of Assassin's Creed Valhalla I was in a "WTF?!?!" mood. I wasn't really sure I wanted to know more about Basim and his ways, but...now that there's a trailer out and we get to see Basim's origin story (and hopefully some kind of redemption arc in the modern day...) I can't wait for this game

Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown

Another one from my blog backlog.  This one is the trailer for the next Prince of Persia game, subtitled "The Lost Crown". It's been a while since I've played a Prince of Persia game, and this looks interesting. I don't often play platformers, but this looks interesting. Knowing that Assassin's Creed started off as a Prince of Persia game, I really hope to see crossovers from AC to PoP in this

The Division Resurgence

I am not a huge fan of mobile games. Every so often some things like Pokemon GO, or Assassin's Creed Pirates will catch my attention, but trying to emulate controllers on a slab of glass just doesn't do it for me.  I was going to pass on The Division Resurgence, but I am coming off a high brought on by Division 1, and it's likely I'll be starting to play The Division 2 soon...so...I guess I might

The New Fable!

Generally speaking, the Fable games were fine.  I enjoyed playing them, but I don't run out and play every Fable game (like I do for assassin's creed...). I played Fable II, Fable III, and Fable Anniversary.  I skipped Fable Journey because I didn't have a Kinect. I was going to skip this one, but I recognized Richard Ayode's voice, so...I guess I'll be playing this one eventually ;-)

Assassin's Creed Nexus VR

 This past spring I got an Oculus 2 to play more with VR.  The technology isn't new to me, I've had my first VR experiences in high school in the late 90s with those clunky enclosures that we used to have (and probably still do?). Then, with virtual worlds like Second Life in the mid-to-late 2000s.  I've never really been impressed, but heck...give me an assassin's creed game and I'll

Star Wars Outlaws

 I meant to post a little something about this when Microsoft made the announcement last most (wow...it's been a month?!) - but oh well.  Here we are now!While Star Wars isn't my go-to space opera, this does look like a fun game that I would play :-). If this is a Series X/S-only game, I might be adding it to the list of games for when I upgrade my console :-)
