My night at the beach… Sort of.

To be fair, this is beach-themed. It's beach-themed and I am writing this in the late hours of the night (or morning if you want to get technical). So... I'm going to count this as one of my trips to the beach this summer. Even though it's really just me playing more video games. Because …

The old ball game

I may not be the biggest sports fan in the world, and that extends to my general lack of interest writing about sports for journalistic purposes... But that doesn't mean I don't enjoy a good game of baseball. Hell, it's hard not to enjoy America's pastime, especially when you grow up going to games with …

Mystery of the Emblem heroes arrive from Archanea – Updated

Don't do this all too often, but Heroes updated again today and essentially invalidated large chunks of this post, so I figured I would address it in an update here as well. When I talked about how I felt Legion and Clarisse should have been the heroes featured in the newest summoning focus, I apparently …

My thoughts on the June 6, 2017 Pokémon Direct

It has been a long, hard road so far, as it seems like everyone has been bringing out their best …

New Opportunities with the Gladeo League

Today I had the pleasure of attending orientation for an internship I'm taking part of over the summer with Gladeo, a non-profit organization that is putting together a database of career profiles and highlights meant to help high school and college-age students figure out what they want to do for a living and what the path …

Qualifiers begin: Will I have the Heart of the Cards?

I have been playing Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Links since Spring Break, and in that time I would argue that I've gathered a good amount of cards and have become fairly competent at pulling decks together to play with. Thus, I think it's about time that I try my hand at a pretty serious event that just …
