I Did Some Tourist Toronto Stuff (Summer 2026)

During the Civic Holiday weekend, I had some relatives visiting Toronto for the first time. In fact, they have never left the Atlanta area (where they lived), nor ever flown on a plane before. So, I had the task of giving them the stereotypical Toronto experience, which includes taking them to some of the major tourist attractions in the Toronto area, as well as the necessary tourist trip to Niagara Falls.

Crimson Skies: High Road to Revenge Is A Bonafide Xbox Classic

Microsoft are beginning to release some old Xbox exclusives to their Xbox Game Pass platform, and they started out with these first four Xbox exclusives. There was Conker: Live and Reloaded, which is a remake of Conker’s Bad Fur Day on the N64, which I already played. There was Fuzion Frenzy, which was Microsoft’s answer to the Mario Party series, and a game which demo I played significantly when I was younger. There was Blinx: The Time Sweeper, which is a platformer whose gimmick is that Blinx can control time (and the marketing claiming that the game is “4-D”). However, there was one game that caught my eye because I remembered how awesome this game was when I initially played it. 

Halo: Campaign Evolved Felt Unnecessary

The Halo video game series are some of the most iconic video games in history, and the original Halo: Combat Evolved on the Xbox in 2001 proved that high-quality first-person shooters can exist outside of the PC. Fast-forward 25 years, and now we have a remake of the original Halo called Halo: Campaign Evolved now available on the Xbox, PC, and for the first time ever, on PlayStation. Saying that aloud made me feel a bit dirty.

Cathedral Laser Shows, Speakeasies, and Night Walks in Montreal

My weekend in Montreal was not just going to a football match and going to a couple of attractions. Here is everything else that was going on while I was in the city on this specific excursion.

Media Gallery - Montreal Biodome

On my weekend in Montreal, I needed something to do on the Sunday before I took the train back home the following day. I was deciding between going to the Biodome and going to the Biosphere, but after some brief online research, I decided to go see some animals at the Biodome. I am not much of a zoo person, but I needed to do something to pass the time. It was back to Viau station and the Montreal Olympic complex where the Biodome was.
