Appreciating My Fellow Bloggers
Today, I’d like to change things up a little bit and express my gratitude towards fellow bloggers that I read regularly. They consistently produce content that is enjoyable to read and from positions of experience, maturity, or at the very least, humor and intrigue. I don’t comment a lot (I read on my iPhone) but …
Fantastic First Steps into Torchlight 2
Thanks to the generosity of Runic Games, I was able to get my hands on Torchlight 2 a couple days early so I could share my thoughts with you. Before we begin, I’ll give you the TL;DR up front: Buy it — buy it now and a couple copies for your dungeon crawling buddies, too. …
PSA: Site re-design done!
Hi Guys, Just hopping on to let you know that I finally got around to re-designing the site. It should be a bit less busy text-wise and a little more colorful (I like color). Please let me know what you think and don’t be afraid to be honest. Also, I cleaned up my blogroll to …
The “I’m Baaaaaack!” Post
Greetings, Ladies and Gents; long time no see! It’s been a night or two since my last post and a drought-like before that. Well, I’m happy to say that the long spell of postlessness is over. To be honest, this post has been in the works for a while now but the recent invoice-y prompting …

Weekend Reading From Vagary.TV
It’s been a little quiet around here this week but that doesn’t mean you have to wait until next week for a post! I’ve been working for Vagary this week and having a great time doing it. Did someone mention a vidcast? It’s not just me, though. Over the last year, Vagary has brought on …
How Schools Create Tomorrow’s Gamers
Raise your hand if you remember Oregon Trail – the original Oregon Trail. How about Where in the World if Carmen San Diego? Math Blaster? Probably a lot of you do. Where did you first encounter them? If you said “in school” you can happily stand beside the majority of twenty-, thirty-somethings as the first …
F2P STO Means I’ll Play It
So there’s a bit of a kerfuffle going on right now about Star Trek Online going F2P. First off, let me just say: Wilhelm is right, why wasn’t this game free-to-play already? It’s for that reason that I entirely agree with a big part of said fuffle: The game simply wasn’t worth $15 a month. …
