Like I said in my post on Spyro 2, the original Spyro the Dragon has always been my favorite of the series. 20 years later that hasn't changed. I love the simplicity of the levels, the goofy voice acting, and the pure distilled platforming without the extra frills future games added in.
Sci-fi isn't normally my genre. I'll take swords, kings, and magic any day over spaceships and physics. Every once in a while, though, I pick up a sci-fi book, and almost every time I find myself really enjoying it. Project Hail Mary is no exception.
Azincourt, more famously known as Agincourt, was a famous battle won by the English in the Hundred Years War that led to decades of English dominance over France.

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
