This is a post I’ve been wanting to make for a little while. But, I decided to spend quite a bit of time with the game before sharing my thoughts. I’ll start by saying that Diablo is one of my favorite gaming franchises. So when I learned that a remaster of the classic Diablo II was being developed – I...
My last coffee review was meant to be the first of a few seasonal reviews. Sadly, in the end, Green Mountain’s Dark Chocolate Hazelnut just didn’t really seem much like a “fall-themed” coffee. But, I think I’ve found something that might fit the bill. A new limited edition from Dunkin’ (formerly known as Dunkin Donuts) – Falling for Maple. When...
It seems that game developers have finally caught on to the fact that gamers love experiencing old titles. This is apparent with the current trend of retro re-releases. But, not every classic game is available on modern hardware. This means that playing retro games these days can still be challenge. I occasionally get emails from readers asking me what consoles...
Love him or hate him, it cannot be argued that Grand Admiral Thrawn has proven to be an extremely popular character in the Star Wars universe. And since his reintroduction to the new canon, his popularity has only increased. Today I’ll be taking a look at the third book in Timothy Zahn’s new Thrawn series, Thrawn: Treason. Before I get started,...
Fighting games. A genre that just never goes out of style. Over the years I’ve covered a number of classic brawler titles. Street Fighter, Mortal Kombat, Dead or Alive, and of course, Tekken. It’s been well over a year since I posted my review for Tekken 3 (a game that actually earned a perfect score from me). Even though I...
I’ve always been a creature of habit. Once I take an interest in something, I like to deep-dive into the topic. My introduction to the Red Hot Chili Peppers was no different. It wasn’t long after I was introduced to their Blood Sugar Sex Magik album, that I started to collect all of their previous records. So far on this...

Sometimes it’s always nice to revisit the classics. The last time I talked about the original Quake was back in 2013. Quake is one of those games that I keep coming back to over the years. Yes, it shows its age when put up against many modern titles. Yet, it still manages to maintain a persistent charm. Recently, Bethesda Softworks...
Today I’m going to try something a little bit different. Usually when I discuss Dungeons & Dragons, it is to talk about a book or provide an update on my home game. But there’s so many aspects of this hobby that can be of interest. For example, accessories are an absolutely crucial element to any D&D campaign. Now, when you...
Due to an overwhelming amount of feedback regarding site performance, I have once again updated the visual layout for OldGameHermit.com. In the distant past, I always focused on performance over aesthetics. Now, that isn’t to say that I’ve ever been willing to suffer from an ugly-looking site. But things like page-load speed and browser compatibility have always been most...
It may not feel like it, but the fall season is less than a month away. So as usual, I began looking for some new seasonal brews to try. Generally speaking, fall is the best time of year for coffee lovers. There’s certainly no shortage of pumpkin or maple flavored coffees on the market during the fall months. But this...
