Backlog Quest: Day 3 – Jurassic: The Hunted – Dinosaur go boom!

Dear Journal, Today I kicked a Spinosaurus’ ass. Jurassic: The Hunted is one of those games that I’ve probably seen a million times and have always wondered whether or not I should play it.  I knew it wouldn’t be all that good, there was no way, but (perhaps brought on by early memories of Turok) something in me needed to […]

He’s traveled around the world.  He’s eaten things that would make any non-foodie American squeamish at best and vomiting at worst.  He nearly killed himself riding an ATV on a New Zealand sand dune.  He has no reservations about speaking his mind on any topic, food related or not.  He is Anthony Bourdain, and he’s a brony.   In case […]
