Weekly Rewind for the Week of October 22nd, 2023
This week has been pretty hard trying to cope with the death of my puppy Lanie, but I’m getting through. And it’s my wife’s birthday weekend. So that is always fun. And she has the Home Alone Lego set. I picked up the Tow Truck set. Plus, we’re going Funko shopping and hitting up some local art shows.

Sea of Stars is a wicked sweet RPG
I had been following Sea of Stars for quite a while after I first saw some of the amazing pixel artwork that had been done with the game, and when it was included with Playstation+, I was extremely surprised. I’ve played through a significant portion of it so far. I’m...

31 Horror Flicks from the 1980s You Can Stream Right Now for Free! Most of them are on Tubi with a random Plex or Freevee or Pluto in the mix.

Five Great Computer RPGs I Can’t Get Back Into
When it comes to playing computer role-playing games, it can be difficult to find the time to get going, let alone play through the entire game. This is especially true for the older, grindier RPGs. While I would normally write at length about games I love and love to...
