Today I’m going to try something a little bit different. Usually when I discuss Dungeons & Dragons, it is to talk about a book or provide an update on my home game. But there’s so many aspects of this hobby that can be of interest. For example, accessories are an absolutely crucial element to any D&D campaign. Now, when you...
Today the world has lost a wonderful talent. Stan Lee, the creator of Marvel Comics has passed away. Stan Lee was the brains behind some of the most iconic super heroes and stories ever put to print. He had a way of standing up against injustice without engaging injecting partisan politics into his work. He will forever be known as...
Most kids today will never experience the thrill of setting foot into an old-school arcade. The closest they will get is likely someplace like Chuck E -Cheese’s or Dave & Buster’s. Sure, there may be a few retro-style arcade halls still tucked away here and there. But sadly, they are now few and far between. Visiting an arcade in the...

So today, I’m going to talk about one of my...

As many of my readers might know, I am a rabid Final Fantasy fan. I’ve played nearly every title in the main series as well as several of the offshoots. One of my favorite aspects of these games is the wonderful music that is featured in them. Being the collector that I am, I have amassed a large collection of...
Today the nerd-world was rocked with news that Disney has acquired Lucasfilm. Yes. You heard right… On top of that, it was also announced that Disney will be producing a new Star Wars trilogy. Again, you read that correctly. Star Wars Episode VII VIII and IX are now a reality. What does this mean for the all the “expanded universe”...
Well, here we are: October. Probably my favorite month of the year. There’s just something about the change of the seasons that appeal to me.
