Ys X: Nordics

October 12, 2025 | Reading time: 2 minutes

Ys is maybe my favorite game series of all time. I got into the series years ago and have played all entries that have released in the US. I enjoy all 3 styles the franchise has tried, with Ys 8 being my favorite. Ys 9 was great, but didn't quite hit the same highs as 8, so I'm hoping 10 does.

Annihilation review

April 27, 2025 | Reading time: ~1 minute

This one wasn't for me. An abrupt ending, very little in the way of explanations, and an increasingly unreliable narrator lead to a novel that, for me, was pretty unsatisfying.

March 30, 2025 | Reading time: ~1 minute

The Coin Game is one of those games I've had on my wishlist forever, but for one reason or another never decided to jump on. With it currently on sale I decided to finally bite the bullet, and it's exactly what I expected from seeing streams and videos.

Blazing Chrome

Blazing Chrome is a run and gun game similar to Contra. It's fun, but difficult, and probably better played in co-op.

Metroid Fusion

Metroid has been one of those series I've always meant to get around to, but never have. Fusion seemed highly recommended as a jumping in point, so I decided to give it a try. I've only played for a few minutes, but I see why the game and series are so beloved.

EA SPORTS College Football 25

July 23, 2024 | Reading time: 2 minutes

EA SPORTS College Football 25 is, without, a doubt, the most anticipated football game ever. It's the first college football game since NCAA 14, and the first ever with real players. I've never been the biggest CFB fan, and I don't have a hometown team, but it's been a few years since I really...

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
