Stories Lost – YouTube Channel
Introduction I discovered a great little channel on YouTube this morning as I was going through my usual routine. “Stories Lost” is the name of that YouTube channel. My personal YouTube homepage featured a story titled “Boy Meets Strange Creatures“. I unabashedly clicked the play button. The engrossing nature of the story had me hooked.…

Alien: Isolation – XBox Game Pass
Note: I originally started this article a year ago and then lost it somehow. I located it lurking in one of my other blogs sitting in the drafts section so now it’s ready to present.

True Detective – Season One – HBO Max
I held off on watching True Detective for many reasons. Foremost was that I knew I wanted to watch it all at once, well, at least the first season, and second, I didn’t have a subscription to HBO Max at the time. Well, I have that subscription now, True Detective is in or has completed…

The Book Walker, Thief of Tales – XBox Game Pass
Okay, so you’re this, well, person, who has a book or pages for a head but otherwise looks human.
