    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. I played Alien: Isolation when it was available on my XBox Game Pass subscription. It was eventually removed before I…

  • Return to Grace – XBox Game Pass

    Return to Grace – XBox Game Pass

    Return to Grace is a first person game I recently played that can be finished in 2 or 3 hours. There are plenty of puzzles to manipulate as you explore and discover the world of Grace. As the levels progress the puzzles get more challenging and the ‘world’ that can be explored gets larger and…

    Resident Evil 2 – Prologue – or, My First time Completing RE2 with Leonard S. Kennedy

    Just completed Resident Evil 2, the current remake, with character Leonard S Kennedy. Though I started the game on standard play when I got to the 2nd or 3rd boss level against Birkin I changed the play mode to assisted because the game was beating the hell out of me. It was less being able…

    As an exciting surprise Resident Evil 2 was added to the XBox Game Pass subscription library and it seemed almost fated to be the next game I would be playing.

  • The Visitor – Blumhouse

    The Visitor – Blumhouse

    I needed to watch The Visitor twice before I was able to put the story together properly. The first time through I’ll admit it was background noise and I wasn’t paying full attention to the movie. Being a huge fan of Blumhouse drops it was a must see for me. My inattention during the first…

  • True Detective – Season One – HBO Max

    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. Apparently he owes the bureaucracy of his book writing guild, oh, he’s a writer, for not producing a book on time or something and having his royalties and livelihood threatened should he not make good on…

  • Trench 11 and Deathwatch

    Trench 11 and Deathwatch

    Trench 11 and Deathwatch were a couple of movies I watched today. Horror stories based on World War II events in all their amalgamations and guises have turned up in all shapes and sizes ever since the end of the “great” war. Could be forced remembrance of tragedy so we as humans don’t make such…
