Ultimate Marvel December 2024

Introduction When I saw the announcement of the new Ultimate Marvel line, I cringed. I remember the first time when they completely lost the thread. A couple of times, they removed my comments from social media reminding them about the cannibalistic Hulk and incestuous Maximoff twins. Then, a few months ago, for some reason, I […]

2024 Look Back on PC/Console

Introduction Of the three main gaming genres, I paid the least attention to this one in 2024. Aiden, again, stole the XBox to put in his room so that he could play Minecraft again. He also commandeered my laptop for the same purpose. So, I mostly used that laptop to update my USFL Distant Replay

The Incredible Hulk 800

Introduction You know we like a nice round number around here. From Detective Comics and Action Comics 1000 to Spawn 300, all of those issues received special treatment from the 2 Generations Gaming crew. I thought I might miss The Incredible Hulk 800 because of a lapse in ordering from DCBS, but that fear was

DC Comics December 2024

Introduction I wrote last time that I received half a dozen Action Comics for some reason. Thankfully, Mark Waid wrote a great story for those books because I dedicated an entire article to them. Now I need to cover the rest of DC Comics December 2024. I think my plan to get the page back

Tabletop is a Gift 2024

Introduction If you read my last article on tabletop gaming, you know that I chose Warhammer as my tabletop is a gift 2024 winner. While I played less over the last few years, my history with tabletop gaming goes back to my high school years. Some friends and I played Dungeons and Dragons weekly. Then,

Action Comics December 2024

Introduction Inexplicably, of the 13 DC Comics I received this month, over half of them were Action Comics December 2024. In my continued effort to keep the page alive, I therefore split the books into two piles, one for the Action and one for the rest. The nice thing about that is that we are

2024 Look Back on Tabletop

Introduction Similar to my mobile experience this year, the 2024 look back on tabletop reflects a shifting of priorities. Because I no longer ran the Dungeons and Dragons club at my school and my plans to run a semi regular group with my family are still in the planning stage, I backed off D&D some

Spawniverse December 2024

Introduction Still a bit behind schedule. At least I’m updating from the current month again finally. And, realistically, only about two days behind schedule. I wanted to post the Gaming is a Gift article on Thursday and Spawniverse December 2024 on Friday. Not bad considering how busy the weekend was. I still haven’t found the

Mobile Gaming is a Gift 2024

Introduction From my last article, you know that I bought myself two gifts this year, a Nintendo Switch and a Retroid Pocket 4 Pro. Truly, mobile gaming is a gift 2024. Both brought me much joy. I always held a soft spot for mobile gaming ever since my parents bought us Game Boys for Christmas

Rat City December 2024

Introduction If I wondered about their ability to support multiple titles in the TMNT universe, then you know I had questions about Uncle Todd’s plan to release 4 more titles in the Extended Spawniverse. When he first launched the main Spawn titles like Gunslinger, The Scorched, and King Spawn, they suffered from awful editing and
