Another excellent entry in the Rigante series, and another point in Gemmell's favor as one of the best modern heroic fantasy authors.

Dragon Ball vol. 8 review

June 14, 2024 | Reading time: ~1 minute

Another excellent volume. The Red Ribbon Army remains a really fun group of villains, and Taopaipai is probably the most interesting enemy yet.

Another excellent entry in the Rigante series that builds upon and improves on the first. Midnight Falcon jumps ahead 20 years, and the characters from the first novel are older, wiser, and a little colder. Connovar is King, and enemies from the the first book are trusted friends and allies,

Eiyuden Chronicle: Rising Review

Eiyuden Chronicle: Rising is a prequel to the recently released Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes. While that game is a JRPG, this one is a simple Metroidvania.

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
