I’m going to cheat a little bit with this review. As has been widely reported, I recently reviewed Shadowrun Returns and, in short, it’s a great game for fans of RPGs and turn-based combat. Well Shadowrun Dragonfall is so similar that I’m going to piggy-back off of that review so I recommend that you read that…

Review: Shadowrun Returns
My possibly-embarrassing New Year’s resolution was to play more video games and I’m off to a pretty good start in 2018. Recently I played through Shadowrun Returns and I wanted to share my thoughts with the Outside is Overrated audience.

Top 5 Stand-Up Comedians
I’ve been slacking lately with Top 5 Friday blogs… a thousand apologies, loyal readers! Today I decided to mix it up and discuss my Top 5 stand-up comedians.

The Last Jedi: The Force Is Weak With This One

I’m not even going to try to write a review of The Bad Batch because words cannot begin to accurately describe this…
The Dark Tower: A Fanboy Review
Rogue Hippo’s Review Score: 3* My mother always says, “If you can’t say anything nice, don’t say anything at all.” For my mother’s sake, I’ll try to come up with some positive things about The Dark Tower… …ummmm…. … …well… …if you need some stocking-stuffer ideas, I expect this movie will be in your local Walmart’s…
