Bloons TD 6

July 22, 2023 | Reading time: ~1 minute

Bloons is probably the most popular tower defense game on the market. They started as flash games - I have fond memories of playing the browser versions on computers in school - and have since moved on to full releases on PC and mobile.

Aliens: Fireteam Elite

November 13, 2023 | Reading time: ~1 minute

Aliens: Fireteam Elite is a co-op survival third person shooter where you move through levels as a squad and take out waves of enemies. It's fun, if a little uninspired.

Hatoful Boyfriend

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
