I have to admit that when Zathura came out, I saw that this was made by the creators of Jumanji. Without going into detail about Jummanji, I will have to say that I liked it. It had a cursed board game that was able to make interesting jungle things happen in the real world. The Zathura story is about a board game that can make space science-fiction things happen in the real … [Read more...] about Speculative Fiction Saturday: Zathura

Review of the Republique video game
I have to say that I've never played a video game like Republique, but I probably should have. I guess the best way I can describe this game is action/stealth, but it is better just to describe what the player is doing. The game takes place in some dystopian world that looks like 1984, but more modern. Yeah, I'm sure that that a lot of people might not get that … [Read more...] about Review of the Republique video game
Our Review of AR-K: The Great Escape
There is nothing like doing a review of a point-and-click game from Steam, and this one of AR-K: The Great Escape is a good one. Before I go any further, I just want to say that this game is not related to ARK: Survival Evolved. I got them mixed up as I was getting press info on both o them, and maybe we will have to do that ARK review some other time. I get the feeling that … [Read more...] about Our Review of AR-K: The Great Escape
Sword Coast Legends brings Dungeons and Dragons back to the video game arena
While I was at PAX Prime, I did something that I hadn't done in over twenty-five years: play Dungeons and Dragons. I have mentioned before how I quit playing simply because I just grew out of it here, but my Christian friends would surely not approve me starting D&D back without at least a lecture. But let's focus on the here and now, as I have no problem with anyone playing … [Read more...] about Sword Coast Legends brings Dungeons and Dragons back to the video game arena
TYLT ENERGI Sliding Case for the Samsung Galaxy S6
It hasn't been long since I have reviewed a TYLT product, the last being the FLIP-DUO AND THE Y-CHARGE (QUIK).

G920 and G29 Driving Force Gaming Racing Wheels from Logitech

Speculative Fiction Saturday: MST3K aka Mystery Science Theater 3000
Okay, so I couldn't figure out what Speculative Fiction work that I wanted to do this week, and honestly, I am pretty tired. However, I have to admit that for every good speculative fiction work, there are at least ten that just don't plain work. I'm not talking about films like Lucy or others that I just plain didn't like. Then there are speculative fiction films that … [Read more...] about Speculative Fiction Saturday: MST3K aka Mystery Science Theater 3000
Our Review of Lumini
I first discovered Lumini at Momocon, and I thought it was just a beautiful looking game. I don't know why I just love games with a lot of colorful and yet shadowy atmosphere, but Lumini has it, in spades. Lumini is a unique game where the player is a flock of interesting birds or butterflies. There is kind of a unity thing going on as different colors of flying things … [Read more...] about Our Review of Lumini

This FOODsniffer is something that every cook needs, and possibly every household. The issue is meat, and it is difficult to tell when it has gone bad until it's too late.
