NBA 2K23

February 4, 2023 | Reading time: 2 minutes

I love sports, and growing up I had to have every yearly release for all of the major sports. As I've gotten older I don't buy the games every single year, but every once in a while I have a craving to play a sports game. There's just something about them that other games can't match: the...

We continue the story of Antonio Perez in the strongest novel of the series yet.

Final Fantasy XVI review

July 8, 2023 | Reading time: 2 minutes

I spent roughly 34 hours completing Final Fantasy 16, and while I had a positive experience overall, I don't feel that the game lived up to the potential shown in the demo. The graphics look great, especially in the Eikon battles, but there are some significant framerate issues even on performance...

The Word for World is Forest review

May 29, 2023 | Reading time: ~1 minute

Unashamedly anti-colonial and anti-war, The Word for World is Forest is a fine novella written as a clear reaction to Vietnam, and while it's not among Le Guin's best or most well-written works, it's certainly worth a read over a few afternoons.

The White Rose review

The Black Company doesn't have the emotional richness of Robin Hobb's work, the narrative complexity of George RR Martin's, or the sheer scale of Robert Jordan's. It's a precursor to all of them: not so epic in scope but a fantastic, well-written story all the same.

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
