Well, here's one final Year In Review. This time from my TV tracking app (which also tracks movies).  Some things are still predictable (I watch a lot of MasterChef). Some things are not totally accurate - for instance, I didn't binge WWE Smackdown, but I did mark that I had watched certain seasons (back in the last 90s/early 2000s), which TVTime counted as having watched last January.  The

Continuing on with my vintage sci-fi binge (this might be the last one for now...until I discover more), today I present to you William Shatner's TekWar.This series started life as a series of novels written by Shatner, or written by Ron Goulart, who seems to be uncredited and Shatner lending his name to them for exposure/promotional purposes...Anyway, it seems like Shatner, after Star Trek, just needed

Welp, Stranger Things is officially concluded!If you haven't seen any of the series...why are you reading this post? I am nor responsible for spoilers ;-)  That said, the final season was fine.  I think that the show "lost" something by having the final three seasons being release every three years.  The first three seasons kind of flowed together, despite the 2018 "break" between seasons

 Well... as I was clearing up some emails on hotmail (yes, I still use old school hotmail) I saw a notice on TrueAchivements for my XBOX Story; basically a Year-in-review, but for the entire duration of my xbox use, starting with the 360 which tracked achivements.I don't remember if I've shared this in the past, so sharing (again?) while it's fresh in my mind. The numbers are clearly off. 

During the winter break I picked up "The Matrix: Path of Neo" for the PS2. The PS2 is a generation of consoles that I totally missed.  I remember playing the PS1 at friend's houses, then those friends went to Sega's Dreamcast for the subsequent generation of consoles, so the PS2 is a total mystery to me.  Since this game isn't backward compatible on the xbox (it also shipped on the OG xbox),

Just before I finished my vacation last week, and needed to get back to work, I finished this lil' game.  I started this back in August. I started this because I thought it would be a game I could jump in and out of during a very (very very very very) busy term, but in reality I didn't have much of a chance to play around with it too much. Much of my play through happened during the Thanksgiving

Over the last few years, I've been looking for older sci-fi shows  to watch. This is was a short (13 episode) quirky buddy-cop/sidekick series. Automan is short for "Automatic Man."  One of the series protagonists, Walter Nebicher, creates an artificially intelligent crimefighting computer program that generates a hologram (Automan) able to leave the computer world at night and fight

Alright, so it seems like Reddit isn't doing a recapped this year or at least nothing has been announced.  Someone has created a Reddit Wrapped where you provide your public username and they produce something with Generative AI, so you know it's all made up, but what the hey - let's have a laugh!I almost spit my coffee out with this roast 😂: You own a 23-year collection of obsolete mobile

 Bluesky hasn't done an official wrap-up this year (did they last year?), but - as one might predict - someone on the internet has.  So, plugging in my public profile information, here's what I got fromI am not sure how accurate this is, but I don't know what to make of these stats... 🧐

Next up in my 2025 Year In Review roundup, is xbox.  Again, this year, Microsoft didn't do anything official (boooo!!!), but we've got True Achievements to the rescue.  Most notable here is that casual games are less prominent on my account this year since I stopped playing Casual games on my pixel tablet while watching television, so the games here represent just xbox gaming.  The
