Probably about a year ago, I finally decided to give The Witcher 3 a try.  I wasn't a huge fan after like 5 hours or so of playing it so it went back into the backlog of games.  However, after attending The Witcher in Concert and seeing not only a ton of gameplay I had never seen but heard some of the best video game music in years, I decided to give it another go and I am so glad I did because now I'm obsessed with it!

Being obsessed with Command & Conquer: Red Alert 2 (and Yuri's Revenge) as a kid, this one really hits me right in the feels.  Yuri was a big part of my childhood and its a part that I love. RIP Udo Kier (Yuri)

Just thought I would share a couple pictures of my cat Bree hanging out on top of my front door.  She loves it when I open the door because that is her favorite place to lay.

After 3½ years with FanDuel Sports Network, yesterday marked my last day with the company. While the transition was unexpected, I’m choosing to view this moment as the beginning of a new chapter rather than the end of one. During my time at FanDuel Sports Network (previously named Diamond Sports Group), I had the chance to work on some truly meaningful and challenging projects — from optimizing critical internal processes to building GameDay360, the Blazor-based application used across the business to manage SportRadar and WhatsOn integrations.

Tonight, I plan on playing some of my first playthrough of The Witcher 3 on Twitch.  You can find the stream HERE. I expect to go live at approximately 8pm EST. If I have to cancel the stream or have technical issues, you can find out on my X / Twitter account.

One of my favorite ways to spend a Saturday night as at the symphony, especially when they are playing the music to a movie I love.  However, in this case its to a movie I had never even seen before. I have to admit, I have never seen either Top Gun movie before last night.  I've heard some of the music and even played the Top Gun game on NES as a kid, but this was my first time ever seeing one of the movies.

About a month ago, I got to see The Witcher in concert performed in Colorado Springs.  I can't say I had a ton of exposure to The Witcher games other than a few hours with the first game and a few with The Witcher 3 but I never stuck with it.  I did fall in love with the Netflix show The Witcher though.

With all of the remakes of video games we seem to get these days from remasters to complete remakes, if there is one game that really deserves it, I think that is Populous: The Beginning! I loved playing this game as a kid and it might be one of my all time favorite games.  After it being forever since I have touched it, I have recently started watching some playing of the game on Twitch and it has definitely hit the nostalgia nerve. 

Its amazing how time can fly! I would have never guessed it had been 15 years since I last posted on this blog, but it seems that it has been just over 15 years. I've posted on my Global Geek News site on occasion when I find cool stuff to share (even that has been months since I have posted anything), but I had kind of forgotten about this site for the most part.

Microsoft recently announced price increases for its consoles and games, and it now looks like Xbox Game Pass could get another hike soon.
