FlatOut: Ultimate Carnage

March 9, 2024 | Reading time: ~1 minute

The Flatout series was one of many arcade racers popular in the early-to-mid 2000s, and I have somewhat fond memories of them. The series was focused more on destruction, like Burnout, than pure racing. The second game's PC port, Ultimate Carnage, got an update on PC making it work better on...

Dragon Quest Monsters: The Dark Prince

January 22, 2024 | Reading time: 2 minutes

Ozymandias

Ozymandias is a pared-down 4X game in the vein of Civilization. The art is nice, and the Bronze Age theme is one that's not explored enough in games. The concept of the game is fun enough, but honestly, if I want to play a game like this I'm just going to play Civ. If you can get it cheap in a...

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
