A Rainy Morning At La Citadelle de Québec

On one of the mornings while I was staying in Quebec City, I went for a tour of La Citadelle, which is a fortress that is sitting on the highest point of the city at Cap Diamant. I want to point out that this was not the first Citadel-style structure in Canada that I went to, as I also went to the Halifax Citadel last year. I was able to freely explore the Halifax Citadel at my own pace, but I would not have this luxury at La Citadelle, as La Citadelle de Quebec is still an active military base. I had to go on a guided tour of the fortress, which was fine with me.

Quick Thoughts: Canada vs. Ecuador

I went to the international friendly between Canada and Ecuador at BMO Field last Thursday, which ended in a 0-0 draw where Canada played down a man since the 6th minute of the match. If you are looking for tactical analysis, look elsewhere, as I will talk about my observations with the stadium, the crowd, and the general atmosphere and vibe of the match in general.

Pokemon Legends: Z-A Is Terrible Value

I have been playing through Pokémon Legends: Z-A on the Nintendo Switch 2, and I want to tell you my thoughts on the game. Prior to obtaining this game, I think I have heard every kind of extreme opinion where I have heard unnecessary praise, as well as unnecessary hatred of Pokémon Legends: Z-A. The truth is, Pokémon Legends: Z-A falls somewhere in the middle of these two extremes. I have already talked at length about Game Freak's (lack of) role in the development of this game, so I am just going to focus on what I liked and did not like about the game.

Quebec's Museum of Civilization (And Another Titanic Exhibit)

I visited the Quebec Museum of Civilization in Quebec City (which already gives you a clue about where the next batch of travel posts are going to come from), and their premier exhibition going on at the time was a Titanic exhibition called "Titanic. The Human Story". I already went to a Titanic exhibition in Toronto back in August, but I was curious to see what things were the same in both exhibitions and what was different. I promise that this blog is not going to be a Titanic repository of items and experiences, but bear with me as I go through a second round of experiencing the fateful maiden voyage of the RMS Titanic, as well as check out the rest of the exhibits in the museum.

Trails In the Sky: 1st Chapter Is An Excellent Remake

I have always wanted to get into the Trails video game series, but I always found it difficult to start due to the sheer number of main entries in the series (13 main entries since 2004), as well as the outdated combat in the earlier games. Thankfully, there is a new Trails game that is a remake of the first Trails game released back in 2004. Trails In the Sky: 1st Chapter is the remake of the 2004 game The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky and this was a great jump off point for me to check out this game and this series once and for all.
