Growing up, I was always playing a lot of video games, on a variety of different platforms, and my absolute favourites were always the action-adventure RPGs. There are, of course, the classics. The Final Fantasy games, Chrono Trigger, Secret of Mana. King’s Quest, Space Quest, Quest for Glory. But there were always some random, lesser…

My consistency for updating this blog was on such a great streak for a while, and then it went completely to crap. It’s amazing how a few off days with some funky internet and a few off days in life can spawn a whole upheaval of a usual routine. The internet connection has been the…

Last night, I had the chance to see Rango; I have no intention to start using this blog as a platform for movie reviews, as I want to keep the focus entirely on writing and reading, but I did enjoy the film an awful lot. More importantly for what we’re here for today, however, is…

First things first: my numbers for views in March is completely blowing January and February right out of the water! So I want to make sure I thank all the weary wanderer and a regular readers for stopping by and reading my babblings. It’s encouraging to know that maybe my attempts to keep my creativity…
