How Far That Little Candle Throws his Beams
Having a child that once needed an extended stay in the hospital and witnessing firsthand how valuable seemingly insignificant distractions are, Child’s Play is at the top of my list of philanthropic organizations I actively support.

Guest Article: Video Games Live
I live in a rather small city that is not large enough to attract bigger name events. While we do get Snoop Dogg on the rare occasion, any tour with limited stops does not grace us with their presence.

Are You Fighting Like a Girl?
I’m spending my day reffing the 4 v. 4 matches in the 3rd Annual Fight Like a Girl Charity Tournament today. I reffed the FFA portion yesterday, which was an absolute blast, and will be participating in the 2 v. 2 against Bungie later this evening. If you are participating as well, leave me a [...]

PAX 08: A Photo Diary
Bungie pictures can be found here, Red vs. Blue pictures can be found here, and Dead Space pictures can be found here. These are the scant remainders of my images, the majority of which were borrowed from other people’s albums. Until PAX 09, …

Win My Ultimate Swag Bag
Usually when people give away swag they receive at conventions, it’s the shitty stuff that got crushed at the bottom of the bag that nobody wants anyways. Not me though. While attending PAX last weekend, I spent some time gathering the best stuff I could get my hands on, all for one of you. I [...]

PAX 08: Dead Space Edition
I’ve always had a special place in my heart for copious amounts of blood and gore, scary as hell aliens that would like nothing better than to literally rip me to shreds, and kicking the crap out of said aliens until their heads come off and roll lazily across the floor. That is why I [...]
