So fair warning, this story feels like it's probably the most self-serving thing I've ever written and I don't have too much to say about it. As I'm sure anyone who follows my exploits on this blog knows, I spent a good amount of time this weekend at awards banquets (the Comm Awards and SPJ …

Awards Weekend part two

I'm not looking to necessarily toot my own horn or anything, but my resume did get a good bit beefier these last couple of days. Today was the 2018 Society of Professional Journalists' Region 11 Conference. Technically it started yesterday but that was pretty much just for regional directors, so I'm considering this the starting …

Makin’ that cash money

[Now last night because I wrote this rather slowly] I was honored to be invited to the Cal State Fullerton Communications Department Awards, where I received the $1,000 Jay Berman Daily Titan Scholarship. Yeah, that really just about sums it all up. Fastest blog post I've ever written. Good night everybody. ... ... Okay fine, …

‘Gushing about things I’ll never receive,’ a Fire Emblem Heroes memoir

Alternative title: The Wings of Fate are cruel. Hello everyone, welcome back to another episode of "Fire Emblem Heroes updated and I feel obligated to stay up into the ridiculous hours of the morning to have a timely post about it for some reason."

Apologies in advance if I happen to sound as tired and scatterbrained in this post as I feel in real life. Or in tomorrow's post for that matter, which I'm probably going to start working on after I finish writing this. Spoiler alert: It's Fire Emblem again. Intelligent Systems is on a roll right now. …

Jason’s Fire Emblem Heroes mid-April new events analysis

Could I throw any more pomp and circumstance into a single blog post title for something that probably doesn't deserve it? Welcome to my double new events analysis! I've been a bit distracted by the end of the semester so I didn't have the chance to talk about the Grand Conquests event while it was …

Entertainment Beat Report – April 19, 2018

Quippy opening time? Nah, who needs one of those. We've got video games, baby! So how about we just jump right in, that way I'm not keeping everyone busy for the next three years. 'Monster Hunter: World' updates with a brand new monster to hunt If the angry pickle that is the Deviljho wasn't enough …

My literal work in progress

Alright so this is an unequivocally silly idea. Going to get that out in the open right off the bat. Earlier this week there was an update to Fire Emblem Heroes that I did a rather extensive post for. You'll recognize it for having the amazing pun in the title. Also no, don't tell me …

Movie Magic, ladies and germs

Ever since my dad shifted careers to start working for the movie ticket broker Fandango, we've had the chance to enjoy a number of benefits. Up to this point those benefits have been rather specifically movie ticket related (for obvious reasons). However, today we got to take advantage of benefits related to the company's attachment …

Entertainment Beat Report – April 12, 2018

As it turns out, I must be using the momentum from my Daily Titan post earlier this week to my advantage. Sometimes I astound myself with the way I can just go dark for days on end when I know I'll enjoy myself after I manage to get out multiple posts in a row. It's …
