The Last Unicorn review

Beautifully written, but just not for me. It's rare that I don't find something to like in books that are universally regarded as classics, but this one just didn't grip me.

A Practical Guide to Conquering the World review

May 24, 2023 | Reading time: ~1 minute

I like A Practical Guide, more than How to Rule an Empire, but less than Sixteen Ways. It's got Parker's typical droll and ironic main character, with healthy doses of humor and sarcasm throughout. There are some battles, some twists and turns, and it's overall just a fun read.

Priest of Crowns review

May 14, 2023 | Reading time: 2 minutes

Priest of Crowns is the fourth and final game in the War for the Rose Throne series, and picks up right where the third books leaves off. It is, for the most part, just as excellent as the previous books, and it wraps the story up nicely while leaving the world open for further stories in the...

GRID Legends

I've played GRID games in the past, and they've always been competent arcade racers with a touch of sim. I expected nothing less from Legends, and with it being a May PS Plus freebie I figured I may as well try it out. And that's exactly what I've got - Legends is a competently-made, fun,...

Pokemon Infinite Fusion

Pokemon Infinite Fusion has taken the Pokemon fanbase by storm recently. While I've fallen out with the series a bit, having not really enjoyed Sword and Shield and not bothering to pick up Scarlet and Violet, I do still love the series and keep an eye on it. I don't play many romhacks, but this...

About

My name's Mike, and this is the Lore Depository - my spot online where I can write out my thoughts on games, books, tech, movies, and anything else I find interesting.

My biggest project is my Game Library Project. I have a ton of games collected throughout the years, and have barely played any of them. Check out the linked post to learn more about the project, and click here to be taken to the category page where you can see all my posts for the project.

Another project I'm working on is my Pokemon Living Dex Challenge, where I try to obtain one of each available Pokemon and transfer them into Pokemon Home.

Yet another project I'm working on is my Old School RuneScape "Completionist" Quest, where I'm attempting to max out all skills and see everything the game has to offer as a completely new player.

Other content comes mainly in 3 forms:
• Reviews, where I post longer-form review writeups
• Thoughts, short & quick first impressions posts
• Guides, detailed how-tos and walkthroughs
