    Now, now, don't look like that- it's just a GAME! I hate to say it, my dear friends, but I've been having a lot of writers block lately. Most of it is literal blockage, because my daughter (who just turned 3 in mid-June) is developing skills... More

    Pokemon and Strategy? YAHOO! A lot of people think that with the release of the Vita and 3DS that the previous generation of handhelds is finally obsolete. NOT SO FAST, I say. One of the best parts about the long run of both the PSP and the NDS was the... More

  • The Problem With Expensive Hobbie$.......

    Like many of you, I am a bit of a geeky person.  I say this with the utmost respect for geeky interests, be it My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic (*puts on Rainbow Dash jacket*), Star Wars or Legend of Zelda (and everything in between).  The unfortunate thing about geekiness is that it comes with a large price tag- a literal price tag.
