My Perfect World is Populated By Pixel People
A game designer is a combination of a programmer and an artist. A preacher is a philosopher and a dreamer combined. Meld a magician and a scientist and you have a wizard.

ReviewsThe Cave: The Kotaku Review
Have you ever had a recurring dream? And each time that dream revisits your slumber, some small detail has changed? It’s the same dream, but it somehow feels unfamiliar again.

If three decades of cat ownership have taught me anything, it’s that a cat at rest should be let stay at rest as long as feline-ly possible. Cats are at their cutest when unconscious.

I Assure You This is a Fully Armed and Armored Female Berserker Statue
True story—during my time playing En Masse Entertainment’s MMO Tera, my guild and I were attempting to recreate the trailer for the film 300 in-game for some silly reason.
