Review – Biblios
I love books. Books make me happy. The feel of the paper as you turn the pages. The new book smell. The tap of your finger on the screen as you go to the next page… Wait, what? Anyway, books are awesome. I can… Continue Reading “Review – Biblios”

The Thing: Infection at Outpost 31 is a new game coming out by Mondo… Continue Reading “More 80’s – The Thing Coming to Your Table”
Race for the Galaxy app is real – and it’s Marvelous
