The Bright Sword review

October 18, 2024 | Reading time: ~1 minute

The Bright Sword is pretty good. It's a nice, modern take on the story and an interesting central idea - what if Arthur's story isn't so much about Arthur, but instead about what happens after he's gone, and the small people are left to pick up the pieces?

Dragon Ball: A Visual History review

October 11, 2024 | Reading time: ~1 minute

This is an absolutely fantastic artbook, covering every year of the original Dragon Ball release up through the first two Super movies. It's laid out beautifully, with tons of full-color illustrations and some pieces never seen before in English.

The Emperor's Sword review

Another superb historical novel of the Middle Ages. We're slowly catching up to the frame story and William Gold is a little older, wiser, and wearier.

The tournament continues. Some more good fights and really well done action scenes.

Astro Bot review

September 15, 2024 | Reading time: 3 minutes

Astro Bot is one of the best 3D Platformers ever, and a must-own for any PS5 owner. It mixes the best parts of 3D Mario, a little bit of Crash Bandicoot, and tons of Playstation fanservice to create a surprisingly lengthy game that's accessible to everyone with some optional genuinely tough...

Hawkwood's Sword review

About

My name's Mike, and this is the Lore Repository - my spot online where I can write out my thoughts on games, books, tech, movies, and anything else I find interesting.

My biggest project is my Game Library Project. I have a ton of games collected throughout the years, and have barely played any of them. Check out the linked post to learn more about the project, and click here to be taken to the category page where you can see all my posts for the project.

Another project I'm working on is my Pokemon Living Dex Challenge, where I try to obtain one of each available Pokemon and transfer them into Pokemon Home.

Yet another project I'm working on is my Old School RuneScape "Completionist" Quest, where I'm attempting to max out all skills and see everything the game has to offer as a completely new player.

Other content comes mainly in 3 forms:
• Reviews, where I post longer-form review writeups
• Thoughts, short & quick first impressions posts
• Guides, detailed how-tos and walkthroughs
