As the end of the semester approaches, I’ve found myself buried up to my neck in final projects. While this has cut into the vast majority of my usual video game time, I was fortunate that one of the final projects involved some time in front of the screen. A […]
I’m currently only about halfway through the main storyline of Pokemon Moon, despite picking it up the day it was released. Most of this is due to my end of semester schedule, which is a series of late nights and endless cups of coffee, but I still have plenty of […]
To start things off, I’m going to be honest with everyone: I’m not big on sports. I wasn’t just the kid that got picked last for gym class, I was the kid who got a stomach ache so he wouldn’t have to play. I didn’t even have to fake the […]
It’s hard for me not to get into the Halloween spirit. In addition to being a huge fan of dressing up in costumes and consuming vast quantities of sugar, Halloween is my birthday, and that adds a whole new dimension of fun and mayhem to the holiday. My sophomore year […]

When it comes to performance, I’m something of a jack of all trades. I’ve studied music, theatre, and dance, and even though writing took the front seat on the bus of my vocational life, I can still shake off my mental cobwebs enough to play each of the four instruments […]
The first real enemy I came across in Zenith was a horde of giant spiders. In a fantasy RPG, massive arachnids aren’t uncommon monsters to encounter, and are something of a cornerstone when it comes to game worlds full of magical adventures. What I didn’t expect, however, was for the […]
My knowledge of Overwatch prior to actually playing it had nothing to do with the gameplay and everything to do with the surrounding lore. Blizzard released official information on setting, backstory, and character histories via YouTube videos both before and after the game’s official release in May of 2016, which […]
