Great Wolf Lodge offers tons of fun activities for its guests and visitors and one of those activities is a game called MagiQuest.  MagiQuest is a new kind of game where you use a magic wand to complete quests in a fully interactive environment inside the hotel.

Earlier this week, Maniac and Princess Angel were fortunate enough to spend a vacation up at the New England Great Wolf Lodge in Fitchburg, MA.  We ended up playing MagiQuest nearly non-stop throughout the duration of our stay.
What did we think of the game?  Watch the video below to find out!

Special thanks to ChaosD1 for recommending MagiQuest to us!

Important News for PlayStation Now Subscribers February 15, 2017

Very important breaking news for PlayStation Now subscribers. Sony has just announced they are discontinuing the PlayStation Now game streaming service on many of its platforms. That specifically means PlayStation Now support is being dropped for all PlayStation 3s, Sony Blu-Ray Disc Players, PlayStation Vitas, PlayStation TVs, and Samsung HDTVs as of August 2017. They will discontinue support for Sony Bravia HDTVs made in 2016 even sooner, those will be cut off as of April 2017.

Once your device has become discontinued from PlayStation Now support, unless you also own a PS4 or a PlayStation Now compliant PC, you won’t be able to actually use the PlayStation Now service even if you’re still paying for it.  Sony says they will continue to automatically charge their customers for the service on a monthly basis unless the user disables the auto-renewal feature.   If you don’t own a PC or PS4, I advise you to discontinue your subscription to the service as soon as possible.

Bawls Announces Bawls Ginger February 9, 2017

Our favorite soda in the world is the high caffeinated beverage Bawls.  It has long been considered a staple of gamers’ diets with its great flavor and high caffeine content.  I can’t remember how many Bawls sodas I would drink during LAN parties, all night gaming sesssions, and PC builds.  As the years have gone on, Bawls has added new flavors to their product catalog including Bawls Cherry, Bawls Root Beer and Bawls Orange. Now it is time for them to make room for one more.

Yesterday,  Bawls made the announcement they are adding a new flavor to their product lineup, Bawls Ginger.


The beverage is Bawls’s take on Ginger Ale with plenty of caffeine, and as a Ginger Ale fan I can’t wait to try this for myself.

If you’re interested in getting a case of Bawls Ginger or any other flavor, I recommend ordering it straight from the source, the Bawls Online Store.
