Lords of Waterdeep

I love this board game – I have the physical copy – and I’m very happy to have it on iOS as well, with asynchronous multiplayer. It’s basically a European-style resource management game, with a Dungeons & Dragons skin on it, which I quite like.

24/7 Red Wings/Maple Leafs: Road to the NHL Winter Classic

I really love this series. I’ve watched the previous 2 seasons they’ve done, and if anything, really wish that it was a year-long thing that followed multiple teams, and not just this short 4-episode run that we get. It’s an HBO reality series that follows the 2 teams that will face each other at the […]

NHL 14

I love hockey, and I love watching the Canadiens play – something I stopped doing for about 20 years, but got back into last year. The last time I remember really playing a lot of video game hockey is NHL 2K on the Dreamcast – we’d have hockey playing sessions in my living room, using […]

Elysium

Even though I have so much love for District 9, I came into this with lowered expectations, because I’d been hearing from many people that it wasn’t all that great. Well, maybe it’s because of those low expectations, but I sure loved this. For me, it starts with the world design, as I really loved […]

Colossatron

I hadn’t heard anything about this game before it came out, but seeing that it was from Halfbrick I figured it was definitely worth the buck, and wow, consider this another Jetpack Joyride-like addictathon. Such a great idea, to have you play a Zuma’s Revenge-type game, but making it so that you are arming a […]

Favorite Media of 2013

That is what I digged the most this year. Can you dig it? For the past few years (see 2010, 2011, and 2012) I’ve been ending the year with a big ol’ post where I go through my favorite media of the year in a few key categories. For me, it acts as an exercise […]

Almost Human

After having learned my lesson from Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. – a show I was excited about after watching the first episode, but that I quit with the second – I wanted to give Almost Human a few episodes before I write about whether I like it or not. The verdict? I do like it, […]

République

I will say, this is one damn cool game. I really enjoyed playing through this – takes about 2 hours to go through this first episode – and I really can’t wait for the next episodes to come out. My favorite aspect of the game is that you are not really controlling the character of […]

Sex Criminals

The main reason I started this Tumblr blog about a year ago was because I wanted to keep track of the media I consume, and also to make it easier to refer to what I enjoyed the most throughout the year, when it comes to writing up my “favorite media of the year” post, that […]

Scrolls

Right now, if you own a copy of Scrolls you can gift a copy to someone (until January 31). Big thanks to the person who gifted me the game, as I’d been wanting to try it out since its launch. It’s by Mojang (Minecraft), and is at its base a collectible card game, but the […]
