I Wasn’t Much Of A Fan Of Where The Crawdads Sing

If you are a reader of mine or just happen to stop by from time to time you likely know I love anime. It is something I’ve been caught up in most of my life and one of my biggest hesitations about adding book reviews to that was the simple fact I have NOT readContinue reading “I Wasn’t Much Of A Fan Of Where The Crawdads Sing”

A Series That Almost Made Me Speechless, Cyberpunk: Edgerunners

Spoilers One of the most underrated things in television media is titles. Almost every episode of a show has one, and often it goes unpublished in the public eye, something brushed under the rug and missed as one binges a series.

The Only MMORPG To Take Over 2K Hours Of My Life.

In the year 2014, there was nothing that was quite the wet dream to any Elder Scrolls fan other than the idea of Skyrim online. Something about exploring the Nordic-dominated countryside with friends, taking on dragon priest along the way. Then, as if a blessing from the Nine Diving themselves Bethesda and Zenimax Studios rollContinue reading “The Only MMORPG To Take Over 2K Hours Of My Life.”
