Metallica, November 29th 2016

Words cannot describe this show... The Opera House in Toronto was rocked last night by the power of Metallica! 950 people, an amazing set list and an unforgettable evening. My ears are ringing, my neck is sore and my voice is raw... What a great night.

Amanda Palmer, November 11th 2016

A very beautiful and emotional show at the Elizabeth Theatre in Toronto with Amanda Palmer (of Dresden Dolls fame).

Her rendition of Hallelujah as a tribute to Leonard Cohen for her last song was magical.

The Force Is Strong With This One: Star Wars Humble Bundle 2!

I could hardly contain my excitement when I saw the words Star Wars and Humble Bundle in my email. Humble Bundles basically let you "pay what you want" and you get a bunch of games... and I do mean a bunch! The value of these is incredible...

Anyways, the games included in the Star Wars Humble Bundle 2 are...

Pay $1 or more to unlock:
Star Wars Rebellion
Star Wars: X-Wing Alliance
Star Wars™: X-Wing vs TIE Fighter - Balance of Power Campaigns
 Star Wars Galactic Battlegrounds Saga
+ 10% off Humble Monthly

Pay more than the average of $7.07 (at the time of this post) to also unlock:
Star Wars: X-Wing Special Edition
Star Wars: TIE Fighter Special Edition
Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic
Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords
75% off up to any 3 Star Wars titles in the Humble Store coupon (excludes titles in this bundle)
+ More games coming soon!

Pay $9.99 or more to also unlock:
Star Wars Empire At War: Gold Pack
LEGO Star Wars - The Complete Saga


There's also a t-shirt if you spend more than $34.99... I ended up getting the $9.99 bundle, even though I already own KOTOR and KOTOR 2 as this just gives me an excuse to give my codes to a friend and let them experience the awesomeness of these games.

I recently dug up my joystick, and it looks like my timing is perfect. I can't wait to play TIE Fighter again!

Humble Weekly Bundle: February 25 2016 to March 2 2016 (Iceberg Interactive)

I've really been enjoying the Humble Bundles... what a wonderful idea, and I've gotten so, so many games for so cheap! My Steam library is ever growing, mostly with games I've yet to play... but I can't resist a good deal, and eventually I do get to them (mostly).

That being said, this week's was of interest to me so I ended up picking it up after checking out a few of the reviews on Steam. I've saved you the trouble of looking them up (all except two 'Mixed' are 'Positive').
