Retro Review: Once Upon a Time, Season Three: Episodes 1-6
We now embark on the third season of Once Upon a Time. It’s once again a hit and miss situation, with some very good episodes and some not so good episodes. “The Heart of the Truest Believer”: Well,...

Review: Murdered: Soul Suspect
I’m generally not that fond of adventure games or similarly puzzle-heavy experiences. I am a simple man; I like to get a big sword or gun and wreak virtual havoc. But I was intrigued by the concept of...

Re-examining Dragon Age: Inquisition: The Trespasser, the Descent, and the...
This week saw the release of the final major DLC for Dragon Age: Inquisition, Trespasser. This follows closely on the heels of another story-heavy DLC, The Descent. The Descent was excellent, and...

Review: Continuum, “Rush Hour”
I think Kellogg has made a grave tactical error by going after Emily. Not only has he antagonized the smartest and most ruthless man in the twenty-first century, he’s made it personal. The last time...

Review: Continuum: Zero Hour
“Zero Hour” is also the title of one of my favourite Star Trek episodes. This “Zero Hour” isn’t quite as good as that “Zero Hour,” but it’s still another strong showing from Continuum. Eschewing the...

Review: The Chaoswar Saga, Book Three: Magician’s End
The cover for Magician’s End declares it to be the final book in Raymond E. Feist’s Riftwar Cycle, the very last book set in Midkemia. This came as rather a surprise to me — this series has basically...

Review: Continuum, “The Desperate Hours”

Review: The War Against the Assholes
Have you ever thought to yourself, “Gee, you know what would make a great story? Harry Potter crossed with the movie Snatch.” I’m guessing probably not. Unless you’re author Sam Munson, in which case...
