Game Review – Dragon Age Inquisition (Part 1 – the Bad)

December 31, 2014 By Michael G. Munz 1 Comment

Part One: Let's Start with the Negative...

Part One: Let’s start with the negative…

Time flies. It’s been over a month since I posted my “first impressions” review of Dragon Age Inquisition, and I’m still playing it! Granted, I haven’t been playing it non-stop. Work, writing, blogging, reading, sleep, and the necessity of interacting with other human beings have to get some time, too. Yet I’ve logged over 80 hours with my human archer (ROGUE) known as Hobbes, so it’s time to say how the game holds up after my initial look. [Read more…]

Michael Reads Percy Jackson: The Sea of Monsters – Ch 3

December 30, 2014 By Michael G. Munz 1 Comment

I'm not sure if this chapter is short or a rapid ride just makes it feel that way.

I’m not sure if this chapter is short or a rapid ride just makes it feel that way.

Hailing taxis of eternal torment, or even temporary torment, sounds like a bad idea to me. But I shouldn’t be so judgmental. So, on we go with the third chapter of Michael Reads Percy Jackson: The Sea of Monsters…

We Hail the Taxi of Eternal Torment

Okay, so this was actually a pretty quick chapter. We (i.e., me, but I like to imagine we’re all in this together) get a quick bit of rudeness from Annabeth, a wild taxi ride courtesy of the mythical Grey Sisters, and faster than you can say “don’t touch that eye, you don’t know where it’s been,” we’re back at Camp Halfblood.

And it’s under attack. [Read more…]

Michael Reads Percy Jackson: The Sea of Monsters (Ch 2)

Michael Reads The Sea of Monsters - second chapter!

Are they technically cannibals if they’re not human to begin with?
Just sayin’.

Doesn’t this kind of stuff just always happen on the last day of school? Yearbooks, tests, and burning down the gym. Ahh, memories. What am I talking about? The second installment of Michael Reads Percy Jackson: The Sea of Monsters, of course!

I Play Dodgeball with Cannibals

The monsters have found Percy, but at least they had the courtesy of allowing him a nice year of quality education before they pounced, right? Oh, and Annabeth is back! But I’m getting ahead of myself. [Read more…]

Chocolate-Peanut Butter Fudge

December 24, 2014 By Michael G. Munz 2 Comments

Do you want fudge? Because this is how you get fudge.

Chocolate-peanut butter fudge, to be precise.

Chocolate-peanut butter fudge, to be precise.

I’m going to break from my blog’s usual format (such as it is – perhaps I should’ve put quotation marks around that word) and give you all a quick crash course in how to make some pretty decent fudge. Those of you who dislike fudge may move along.

Okay, now that that guy is gone, well, here we go! [Read more…]

And so it begins…
Or, I guess, continues. Or something.
Book two!!

Prophetic dreams, mysterious figures on fire escapes, and sleeping with a sword-pen under your pillow. It must be time for the first chapter installment of Michael Reads Percy Jackson: The Sea of Monsters! In other words…

My Best Friend Shops for a Wedding Dress
