On the weekend of June 13th, the war clock reset to zero and Shatterdome Atlanta reconvened for the second year running and this time for two days instead of one! How did this little con that could measure up this year? Spoiler alert: Like Striker Eureka bagging its tenth kill. […]
Dragon Con 2014: The Year I Mostly Did Comics Stuff
Once again, Dragon Con has come and gone. Panels were attended, costumes were worn, and a lot of drinks were drunk. A lot. There was a $12 rum bucket at one point. I am not ashamed. Still, after last year’s determination to be chill, what was my Dragon Con experience […]

A Stranger in a Game Land: King of Tokyo
I don’t really game that much. Up until this point in my life, the only board games I had really played were games like Monopoly and Clue and trading card games like Pokemon. All of those ended up with me rage quitting because my aunts and uncles sucked all the […]
