AoE Denied

Published by James under Gaming

Last night Ogre and I decided to try and play Age of Empires again. He tried to get Railwolf, but he wasn’t reachable at that time, probably because he’s sick. Without Rail to serve as host, Ogre offered to host, which is fine by me. Unfortunately, Ogre couldn’t figure out the port [...]

AoE Multiplayer

Ghostbusters

Published by James under Gaming, Movies

Like most kids who grew up in the late seventies/early eighties, I loved the Ghostbusters movies. I remember that they were a big success at the box office. Surprisingly, there hasn’t been a sequel made in a hell of a long time. This seems to be changing as Dan Aykroyd, who played [...]
