Sit-Down Gaming
“Alright, it’s Saturday night. I have no date, A 2-Liter bottle of Mountain Dew, and my all-Gorillaz mix CD. Let’s rock.” Those were the days. All-night Halo, going for 100% completion on Kingdom Hearts II or Final Fantasy XIII, or experiencing the story of a new game I’d wanted to play for a while. ButContinue reading “Sit-Down Gaming”
Magic: The Regathering
Middle school. Junior high school. Intermediate school. For me, it was 7th and 8th grade. My hometown had three elementary schools that all fed into one school for 6th grade, and then 7th and 8th were at the one middle school, which fed into the one high school. It’s perhaps the most awkward time inContinue reading “Magic: The Regathering”
Running in Circles
I want to run a marathon. I guess I haven’t written a whole blog about it yet, but I recently hit a pretty big milestone in my journey, so let’s talk about it! I used to think New Year’s Resolutions were silly because you could set a goal anytime you want, but as I getContinue reading “Running in Circles”
Interview with the Slam-pire
In my twenties, I practiced job interviews. Like, I would apply for jobs I had no interest in so that I could do the interview portion and then turn down the offer if it got that far. I was working security at the time. My first job out of college. I had jobs before andContinue reading “Interview with the Slam-pire”
Comic Relief: Criminal
Hello! Welcome to the space on the internet where Carl Randers, Jack Stevens, and I get together and discuss a comic that we recently read. I like to call it ‘Comic Relief‘! It’s been a while since we had one of these but since the last edition was a spooky double feature of 30 Days of Night, VolContinue reading “Comic Relief: Criminal”
I Am Merely A Collector
I can’t recall a blog that I’ve written in the past that prominently featured video games. I’ve done movies, TV, wrestling, mental health, social justice, and more, but I don’t think I’ve ever just sat down and talked about my video games preferences and experiences. What better time than the present–especially considering I just finishedContinue reading “I Am Merely A Collector”
And We’re Back!
I took a lovely month off from the pressures of blogs, podcasts, and poetry to enjoy the holidays and my birthday, and it was worth it. I was feeling incredibly uninspired to be creative by the end of the year and I just wanted to consume media, play games, and hunker down for the winter.Continue reading “And We’re Back!”
31 Days of Nightmares
It has become a trope of sorts to discuss the stark difference that a year can make, especially when comparing 2021 to the year that came before. For example, 76.8% of people aged 5 and older in King County, Washington are fully vaccinated against COVID-19 but the vaccines weren’t even widely available around this timeContinue reading “31 Days of Nightmares”
Comic Relief: 30 Days of Night – Double Feature
Hello! Welcome to the space on the internet where Carl Randers, Jack Stevens, and I get together and discuss a comic that we recently read. I like to call it ‘Comic Relief‘! Last time, we were delighted to discuss Skyward, Vol. 1: My Low-G Life, written by Joe Henderson, with art by Lee Garbett, and this time we’re doing spookyContinue reading “Comic Relief: 30 Days of Night – Double Feature”
