To date, the original Donut Shop coffee remains one of my favorite K-Cups. Aside from their signature blend, they’ve also produced a number of various flavors under their “Donut Shop” branding. Over the years I’ve tried several of these spin-off coffees and had mixed feelings about most of them. But still, I’m a sucker for something new and when I...
I know I typically save my Stephen King book reviews for the month of October. But last month, like so many other people, I found myself diagnosed with Covid-19. Thankfully, it was only the mild Omicron variant, so I recovered rather quickly. But still, it got me thinking about just how quickly Covid spread across the globe. It started out...
The last time I reviewed a Star Wars novel it didn’t go very well. The book in question was A Crash of Fate. This was a novel created for the sole purpose of drumming up hype for Disney’s new Galaxy’s Edge theme park. The story itself wasn’t terrible, but it wasn’t particularly good either. In the end, the book appeared...

It occurred to me today that it has been nearly a year since I built my RTX rig. And since that time I’ve not taken an opportunity to really see what all of the “RTX ON” buzz is all about. In case you’re unfamiliar with the term, RTX is the fancy name for Nvidia’s Ray Tracing technology. Ray Tracing is...
I’ve been hinting at discussing some of my favorite films on this site for quite some time. Well, the day has finally arrived! This post is going to the be the first of many where I share my thoughts on the movies that opened my eyes to things like science fiction, fantasy, and just badassery in general. The first film...
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...
