This is an idea I’ve had since I first started writing for 101 Militia, but it never made the cut on any previous weeks because I want this to be really interactive, and the stats just weren’t there for it. In the past few weeks, though, our readership has really been climbing! And I’m hoping… Continue reading Bi-Weekly Book Club: The Last Wish (Part One)
Artemis Fowl. This evil little twelve year old was my childhood. It was the first fandom I was ever in. It was the first fanfiction I ever read and, yes, wrote. I learned the fairy language so I could decipher the lines along edges of the pages of the first book. I wrote in the… Continue reading 27 Questions (and Comments): An Artemis Fowl Review
Last week, Sony and Guerilla Games announced that Horizon Forbidden West (the sequel to Horizon Zero Dawn) will be released for the PS5 sometime in 2021. The announcement trailer didn’t have a ton of hints about what the game will contain apart from more machines, more world, and more apocalypse, but there’s only so much… Continue reading A Few Hopes for Horizon Forbidden West
If I’ve done my math right, by the time this is published there should be a little over three days left for you get 1637 games for five dollars. Not five dollars each. Five dollars. Right now, itch.io is offering a Bundle for Racial Justice and Equality, with half of the proceeds going to NAACP… Continue reading Three Games (Plus 1634 More)
If you’re FBI/CIA and you fell for my clickbait, you legally have to leave me a like and comment that you’re a secret agent or it’s entrapment. Sorry, I don’t make the rules. For real though, let’s talk about a classic comic: V for Vendetta, and connect it a bit to today. Spoiler warning I… Continue reading How to Start a Revolution
I have, miracle of all miracles, started writing again. Like real, proper, manageable-word-count-goal-a-day writing. Now, an important part of writing, for me and many others, is having the proper background noise. This is often the same for studying or trying to sleep or really just doing anything that requires more focus than my attention span… Continue reading Nerdy Beats To Focus To
Back in March I recommended three books to get you through quarantine. Well, here we are two months later and many of us are still on lockdown. Since I assume you’ve finished those books by now (I certainly hope so, they were required reading and will be on the exam) I’m back with three podcasts… Continue reading Three Podcasts to Listen to in Quarantine
I had a very short, but very interesting conversation with my father recently. Me: “Me and Emily are finally getting a Switch, we’re really excited.” Him: “What’s that?” Me: “A Nintendo Switch?” Him: “Never heard of it.” Hmmm. My dad was the one who raised me playing video games. I’ve always considered him to be… Continue reading Interview: An Inherited Hobby
My music tastes jump from genre to genre, artist to artist. Like everyone I have my favorites I always fall back on, but I also usually have a Song-Obsession-Of-The-Week that I play on repeat for days and insist on learning all the words to, much to the annoyance of my sister and roommate. That title… Continue reading Music Rec: The Stupendium
This week I’m going to be attempting to make a Harry Potter staple: Butterbeer! “But which recipe are you going to use, Sam?” I hear you ask through the screen. To which I reply: What is a recipe? I don’t need a recipe! Recipes are a myth! (In all honesty, I tried to look up… Continue reading Making Butterbeer: An Exercise in Hubris
