I’m the opposite regarding difficulty. I can hold my own online but I’ve played quite a few salmon runs where things have quickly turned South if efforts aren’t coordinated. And I’m only at “part time” level! Read more

When I see the Drizzler, the first thing I think of is Marry Poppins, but I suppose that’s because I watch more Disney classics than I listen to songs that are hip with the kids. =P Read more

I think the only one I’ve nicknamed is Goldie, since they’re so much like Glowing Ones from Fallout Read more

I like to refer to the Griller as the Webber... Cause that’s how my grill looks, and it’s always full of delish cuts! Read more

Although Salmon Run is rather easy, it’s a ton of fun!

My kids both love OK K.O.! which means I get to watch a lot of it, now. At first we (wife and I) thought it was brainless, but after watching more closely, we enjoy it. My wife loves Carol (K.O. asks her to the prom! How can a mother of two boys not find that endearing?) Read more

Happy Labor Day! I’m looking forward to reading whatever you two publish. I’m sure it’ll be great! Read more
