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.
Other content comes mainly in 3 forms:
• Reviews, where I post longer-form writeups
• Thoughts, short & quick first impressions posts
• Guides, detailed how-tos and walkthroughs
