On Fandango and Vive

I've been vaguely hyping this up for a while, so I'm excited to finally talk about it. A few weeks ago I had a lovely conversation Paul Yanover, the President of Fandango. I put together a Spotlight all about his career path from being a software-writing USC graduate to heading one of the largest names in …

What does that song sound like?

Everyone's had those moments where they hear a song — be it in the background of a T.V. show, on the radio or a restaurant backing track, or whatever it may be — and can't quite put their finger on what that song is. If you haven't had that moment because you have a photographic …

Printers, Posters and Posh Interior Design

I know I said essentially the exact same thing about two days ago, but pardon me if this post is a little bit short or discombobulated. We may not have been sniffing paint fumes this time around, but the family has been off on a nearly 12-hour journey across L.A. County doing chores and such. …

‘Dark Magic Destruction’ deck profile — Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Links

Duel Links has kind of fallen out of favor in my phone app priority list for some time now. It's not that I don't still love the game. I do. But Konami has a tendency to... Power creep a little faster than I'm comfortable with as a free-to-play user. By power creep, I mean they …

The True Cost of a Shadow Game — Gaming Economies

I've wanted to write something on this topic for some time now, and after I declared Duel Links my favorite game of 2017 I figure it's as good a time as ever to do something with the game. As strange as it sounds when mentioning that I'll be talking about a nostalgic anime-based card game …

Let’s talk about this Duelist Kingdom event

Its been a while since I gave my other mobile gaming obsession any love around here. While I still play Duel Links just about every day, nothing particularly exciting tends to go on in the day-to-day breadth of the game besides the occasional new/returning  duelist unlock events and traveling duelist events. Until today, when we …

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 …

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 …
