You leave for nine little months and everything falls apart.
Well Camp Halfblood is certainly going to Styx, isn’t it? Hades convicts on work release, constant monster attacks, and a loss of appetite for pizza! All this and more in the fifth part of Michael Reads Percy Jackson: The Sea of Monsters…
Part Two: Let’s get positive!
So now that I’ve sounded like a fountain of negativity to rival Yahtzee (but without the animation and deadpan hilarity) in part one of my full Dragon Age Inquisition review, it’s time for me to say what I actually liked about the game. There’s a lot to cover. [Read more…]
In which Camp Halfblood’s beef supply is secured for the entire summer!
Well that’s a lotta bull! Join me to learn what’s behind that terrible pun (for which I refuse to apologize) in the fourth part of Michael Reads Percy Jackson: The Sea of Monsters, also known as…
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.

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…]
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!
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…]
