Old School RuneScape is one game I never really played as a kid. I was more of an AdventureQuest and MapleStory kid. Lately, though, I've had an itch to try it out. It seems like the perfect low-key game to play when I have downtime at work, and I like that I can play on all my devices. I've...

Square Enix has pretty rapidly been remastering the Dragon Quest games, with 3 and 1-2 coming out in the last couple of years, and 7 coming out in February. Preceding its release they've released a demo, so I took a couple hours to check it out.

About

My name's Mike, and this is the Lore Depository - 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
