The video version of this article with my unfiltered thoughts.   By Paul Perez After visiting my brother and catching parts of the show at his place, I came home, made dinner, and watched the rest while I ate. Just because these games stood out to me at  The Game Awards 2025  doesn’t mean I’ll actually play them. For me to try a game, it usually needs great reviews, to be available on PlayStation Plus or Game Pass, or go on a steep sale on Steam . Still, some games stick with me because of their art, presentation, nostalgia, or just how original they are. Here are titles from The Game Awards 2025 that caught my eye.  Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis Nostalgia heavy This is a remake of the original  Tomb Raider , which came out almost 20 years ago, and it looks great. Crystal Dynamics, the team behind the recent trilogy, which started in 2013, is making it, and it feels like a brand-new game. What stood out to me is how  empty  it feels, with Lara Croft ...

  By Paul Perez Youtube version Here's how AI cuts my content-creation time in half.  By using AI, I can produce more blog content more efficiently. I’ll share how it helps me with writing, proofreading, and daily life.  The main way I use AI is for transcribing. For example, when Jason G and I record a movie review, I upload the audio to Rev.com and use their AI transcription service. It's cheaper than hiring a person to do it.  What would take me days to transcribe, paying $1-$10, is done in minutes. After recording initial audio of an idea or a podcast, this is the next step The transcription isn't perfect, but it gets about 80-90% of what we discussed. After that, I put the text into ChatGPT and asked it to turn it into a short blog post or a podcast episode description. Before I publish anything, I run it through Grammarly. Using its AI tools, I can significantly reduce my editing time by finding and correcting errors. Grammarly's proofreading and fact-checking ...

These are the 9 items I’ve sold on eBay since January 1, 2026. Most of these items are things I’ve owned and now getting rid of. Some of the clothes have holes or stains. They can still sell at a lower price. The sleeveless Harley-Davidson shirt with a small hole sold for $10. The smaller pizza bag that I’ve held onto since COVID sold for $20, as examples. The sleeveless Harley Davidson shirt which sold. I'm publishing this to reinforce what I’ve said before about eBay. Sell the stuff you no longer use. Make space for the new stuff you will buy. I, too, am a consumer and will be buying new stuff that I'll eventually sell when I’ve run out of use for them. One of the items sold was a smaller air fryer for $25. Helping me make space for a larger air fryer with a ceramic basket, which is supposed to be healthier than the previous air fryer's non-stick basket. The Air Fryer with the Non Sitck basket. The majority of these items are things I’ve owned and used and am no...

Movie Review:  Send Help  – Sam Raimi’s Darkly Funny Return to Low-Budget Horror (SPOILERS) As the first movie of 2026, Jason G and I had the chance to see Sam Raimi’s latest film,  Send Help , on a chilly January night at the Times Square AMC. Thanks to Jason snagging the tickets, we enjoyed the warmth of the cinema—and a thrilling, blood-soaked ride. Raimi, known for his over-the-top horror comedies, seems to have returned to basics with this film. Eschewing the high-budget spectacle of his recent Marvel outing ( Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness ), he crafted a smaller, tightly focused story that’s heavy on gore, humor, and classic Raimi-style awkwardness. The Story & Characters The movie centers on a small cast. Two in particular become stranded on an isolated island, where tensions rise, alliances shift, and survival instincts take over. Rachel McAdams delivers a delightfully quirky performance as a socially awkward, nerdy character who’s both sympathet...
