Midnight Falcon review

May 22, 2024 | Reading time: ~1 minute

Another excellent entry in the Rigante series that builds upon and improves on the first. Midnight Falcon jumps ahead 20 years, and the characters from the first novel are older, wiser, and a little colder. Connovar is King, and enemies from the the first book are trusted friends and allies,

To Reign in Hell review

March 12, 2023 | Reading time: 2 minutes

I'm more familiar with Steven Brust through his Taltos novels, which I very much enjoy, but have had To Reign in Hell on my radar for some time now. I finally decided to give a read, and while it wasn't my favorite book - not even my favorite book dealing with this subject matter - it was an...

Thoughts on the Star Ocean Second Story R Demo

October 8, 2023 | Reading time: ~1 minute

Star Ocean is a series that's been on my radar for a long time. I own all of the games that are available on PS4, and just snagged The Divine Force for $10. They've got middling to good reviews, and seem up my alley with their settings and gameplay. The second game was until now the only one not...

Putt-Putt Enters the Race

July 22, 2023 | Reading time: ~1 minute

The Putt-Putt games were a staple of every kid who grew up in the late 90s. I myself didn't play many of them, besides Balloon-o-Rama, which was a Breakout clone. Most of the games, this one included, are point-and-click adventures.

Pokemon Living Dex Challenge Update #1: Kanto

January 20, 2026 | Reading time: 2 minutes

Over the past view weeks I've been working on my Pokemon Living Dex Challenge, and I'm almost done with Gen 1, probably my second favorite generation. I'm almost finished with FireRed, having beaten the Elite Four and most of the Sevii Islands postgame. The fast-forward feature has been a great...

The Two of Swords, Volume One review

The Two of Swords is a series of connected novellas, this first volume being the first third of them collected together. It features all of KJ Parker's usual wit, cynicism, and intelligent writing.

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
