My last several Record Shop reviews have been for albums by the Red Hot Chili Peppers. This post is no exception. However, this will be the last RHCP review for a little while. With the discussion of this record, I have now caught up to my original review of Blood Sugar Sex Magik. The general idea with these reviews is...

It’s been a while since I talked about Into the Borderlands, the first “Original Adventures Reincarnated” project. In case you missed it, that release was both an official reprinting and 5E conversion of a classic D&D adventure. It was a book that I was extremely excited about. I love retro D&D and it appears that I’m not alone in my...

When it comes to gaming, it’s not that unusual to hear claims about a particular title being one of the “greatest games of all time” or how it “changed gaming forever”. I’ve lost track of how many times I’ve heard things like this about a specific game, only to end up disappointed when I finally get my hands on it....
2021 was an odd year for the site. In terms of gaming, progress on my backlog was slower than in previous years, but still fairly steady. Several of the games I played and reviewed were chock full of content and took quite a while to digest. Despite this, a number of them were Class A titles that I’ve looked forward...
In what is likely to be my final post for 2021, I’m going to end the year with a review of the latest Dungeons & Dragons supplement Strixhaven: A Curriculum of Chaos. At first glance, some players may be quick to assume that this book is just another attempt by WotC to shoehorn in more material from Magic: The Gathering...

It’s here! The Final Fantasy XIV expansion that brings an end to the game’s ten-plus year-long storyline – Endwalker. This expansion brings FFXIV up to version 6.0, and as mentioned earlier, finally brings an end the Hydaelyn/Zodiark story-arc. This add-on sees the level cap raised to 90 and includes two new playable jobs; Sage and Reaper. As usual with any...
Last year I tried just about every holiday-themed coffee I could get my hands on. This year, I’ve decided to dial it back a bit. Since my last seasonal coffee review was for a Dunkin’ product, I figured I’d continue the trend and check out their Christmas offering for 2021; Cinnamin’ Nutmeg. Generally speaking, I’ve always had pretty good luck...
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...
The D&D world has been buzzing lately. In the last couple months, word has leaked that a revision of 5th Edition will be hitting the store shelves in the next couple years. Between now and then, Wizards of the Coast has promised to take 5E to places that fans have been asking for since its inception. Of course, they’ve not...
When Disney originally announced the reboot of the Star Wars Expanded Universe project, fans were excited. The promise we heard was that all future Star Wars novels would be vetted for quality and every release would be canonical. This was good news because as any old school Star Wars fan will tell you, there was more than a few stinkers...
