Another milestone patch for Final Fantasy XIV is here! Last time the big new feature that everyone was waiting for was the release of the Island Sanctuary. This patch doesn’t have anything quite that ambitious in it, but there’s still some pretty hefty new content included in this latest update. Here is the breakdown: As always, the following new...
This is one review that many of my followers have been waiting years to read. I know this because I receive countless messages and emails asking me; “When are you going to talk about Metroid Prime?”. For all of you, I’m pleased to announce that the day has finally come. But I have to admit, it was with much reluctance...
The last week and a half has been quite turbulent for tans of Table Top Role Playing Games. Wizards of the Coast, the company behind Dungeons & Dragons, had a massive leak hit the internet.

I pulled a sneaky on ya… I mentioned in my last coffee review (earlier this month), that I probably wasn’t going to talk about a holiday coffee this year.

This all started several years ago after receiving emails from readers asking me what consoles I use when playing retro games. I also get a lot of questions about the various components in...

The story behind this game is legendary. Reeling off of the success of Secret of Mana, Squaresoft wanted to release a similar game in the US as quickly as...
Ever since I started this blog I’ve always made it a point to campaign against piracy. It should go without saying that I, like so many of my readers, love video games.

I typically reserve my December coffee reviews for some type of seasonal release. But this year, despite my best efforts, I couldn’t find a new winter-themed coffee that seemed appealing to me. But my local grocery store has started carrying a number of brews from Black Rifle Coffee Company. So, I decided to pick up a box and give it...
One of my favorite things to do this time of year is to get out a soft blanket, pour a fresh mug of coffee, and curl up with a good book. When I was younger, a good portion of my autumn afternoons and evenings were spent this way. Sadly, as an adult, I don’t get as much time with my...
