I like a bunch of stuff. I do a bunch of things. I care about a bunch of issues. Here is where I write about it all! October 21, 2016. Adventures in video games. I grew up in the 80s, so my introduction to gaming was pretty lo-fi back then. Atari, Commodore 64 (oh my god the tapes, THE TAPES), and even some little handheld video games (like my prized Ms Pac-Man tabletop arcade game. Don’t worry, I’ll get back to the Steam games in a bit! Not long after I had finished. Was for ticking the exploration boxe...

I like a bunch of stuff. I do a bunch of things. I care about a bunch of issues. Here is where I write about it all! April 29, 2015. I’m off to Seattle in just 2 weeks. I’m so excited for this little vacation! I love going new places, and as a bonus I will get to hang out with some of my rad board game/internet friends. As a bonus to that bonus, I was asked to take part in a board game charity event, that happens to fall the weekend I’m in town! To raise money for Hopelink. You can donate to the team.
