Post-Pandemic Check-in: Orchids, tin whistle, and video game music! ♪
Post-Pandemic Check-in: Orchids, tin whistle, and video game music! ♪
Hey, friends! It’s been ages and I hope you have all been well. While I’m still not in the writing mood very often, I wanted to show readers what hobby activities I’ve been up to this past year, which is mainly growing a LOT of houseplants, and also playing the tin whistle and making nerdy video game, anime, and film song covers!

Tales From Video Game Retail - Sandwiches and Shenanigans
Tales From Video Game Retail – Sandwiches and Shenanigans
The Lunch Break Tag-along
We had a regular at my second video game store who would come in multiple days a week to hang out for hours on end without buying anything. No one felt comfortable asking him not to loiter because he was a young veteran discharged with an injury, and he was nice, if oblivious. The main problem was that he would follow either me or my female supervisor around the…

How to do Mounts RIGHT - The Amazing Mount System in Guild Wars 2
How to do Mounts RIGHT – The Amazing Mount System in Guild Wars 2
I have always been a huge sucker for pets and mounts in video games. If I get to own, raise, ride, or play with animals of any kind, chances are I’ll love whatever game it is. When I used to play World of WarcraftI would spends ages running old raid content for the 2% chance of rare mount loot drops. As in “Sorry I can’t go out to dinner, gotta run Icecrown Citadel on my 10th alt before weekly…

Zoids... Remember that anime with the giant mecha animals?
Zoids… Remember that anime with the giant mecha animals?
Zoids was one of my first and favorite animes when I was a teen. I would build the old Hasbro model kits in middle school and junior high all the time! My parents even used them as incentive for earning good grades. Now I’m 27 and for years I would occasionally get his strong urge: I should build a Zoid...

Monkeys, Pterodactyls, and Polar Bear Dogs, oh my!
Monkeys, Pterodactyls, and Polar Bear Dogs, oh my!
Just a quick off topic post while I’m still out of town… I had the weirdest dream I’ve ever had in my life a while back, so I wrote it down at the time. This dream was not lucid at all and I kept alternating between being physically part of it and watching other “scenes” without being there. Okay, get ready to interpret!

My Hoard of Dragons
Dragons always meant a lot to me because it was the first thing I ever learned to draw, a skill taught to me by my first, true best friend in my early teens. We would spend hours upon hours reading fantasy novels (also with dragons in them of course), drawing, and playing games like Spyro and Kingdom Hearts. Since then dragons have represented the personification of imagination and creativity to…

Ethics and Tragedy of Blades in Xenoblade Chronicles 2
One of the central themes of Xenoblade Chronicles 2is whether or not Blades should be considered a race of people rather than weapons or tools, or if it is fair to treat them as weapons even if it’s their nature. Are they slaves no matter how well their Driver treats them? Just because a Blade and Driver have a good relationship, even a loving one, does that make it right to use them? On the…

Tales From Video Game Retail: Trade in Woes
Trade ins. Dear lord, trade ins. Don’t get me started on those sports games that come out at the same time every year, like FIFA, NBA, Madden, etc. Folks would want to trade in last year’s Madden game and FREAK OUT when they saw the trade in value, having now realized that games depreciate like anything else.
Like, bruh. I’ve got 20 drawers of games back here and FIVE of them are FULL of MADDEN,…

Final Fantasy XII HD Review; Under the Skies of Ivalice
Final Fantasy XII HD Review; Under the Skies of Ivalice
Final Fantasy XII is a game I wish I had been old enough to appreciate when it first released in 2006, but am very pleased to be playing now with its new coat of HD polish. The tale of Final Fantasy XIIis refreshingly mature compared to past installment of the series; it does not involve stopping a global catastrophe right off the bat or a mysterious bad guy intent on world domination. Instead…
