AMVs – a relic from the past

Maybe 13 or 14 years ago I watched a video of a strange cartoon that I’d never seen before. The song Until the day I die by Story of the Year was blasting from my pc speakers, you know the built in ones that sounded like total crap but you were glad you had something, … Continue reading AMVs – a relic from the past →

My favorite video game

Last week I talked about playing MMOs. I love playing MMOs and it’s been one of my favorite ways to meet people on the internet. That and through Team Fortress 2 lobbies back in the day. I think back to those days very fondly. Somehow I was in a terrible place mentally yet playing that … Continue reading My favorite video game →

Chapter Eighteen – Milinia

As they walked across several wooden bridges that connected different treehomes and walkways it became more and more clear that this village was on a far larger scale than they initially realized. Towards the entrance of the village was a sort of clearing that looked like it was made by the elves themselves and didn’t … Continue reading Chapter Eighteen – Milinia →

Playing MMOs

I have a fairly addictive personality. Back when I was younger I used to drink three to four liters of soda every day. Yeah, it was a real problem that destroyed my teeth permanently. Well, weakened them, they’re still mostly there and the look normal, they’re just weak and I get cavities easily. It’s the … Continue reading Playing MMOs →

Chapter Seventeen – Trust Issues

“So these strange symbols are a language in your world? Why would they use completely different symbols?”“That’s just how things developed. It’s quite cool actually, that different people approached written language from such a different angle. We all came to the conclusion that a written language is needed, but how we went about it was … Continue reading Chapter Seventeen – Trust Issues →

The perfect send-off (Ao Ashi Episode 5)

Whenever I’m in my room after dinner, playing games, writing, reading or doing something else, I’ll often go downstairs to get a coffee and chat with my dad for a bit. He’s sitting there alone most evenings, since my parents are divorced. Obviously he doesn’t mind, he’s got his snacks, his bejeweled knock-off games and … Continue reading The perfect send-off (Ao Ashi Episode 5) →

After writing my 6 shows to look out for post, I realized that there has been some absolutely fantastic music lately in anime, and I just wanted to quickly highlight some of my favorites. So let’s do just that, in this little bonus post while I procrastinate editing once more. Chitty Chitty Bang Bang by … Continue reading Some (anime) song recommendations →

Chapter Sixteen – Lost and Found

“So the Blueyerd Kingdom included roughly half of this forest?”“Correct.”“And you’re of the royal family of the Blueyerd Kingdom?”“Correct.”“So it would be fairly safe to assume that you know your kingdom?”“Correct.”Cassandra nodded. “So we’ve now established that this is part of your lands and that you should be aware of the things that are going … Continue reading Chapter Sixteen – Lost and Found →

6 Shows to look out for in spring 2022

It’s that time of the season again. Spring is in the air. Okay, it may have rained here in the morning and I stayed in bed until it stopped. But that’s part of the spring experience, is it not? You know what’s also a part of the spring experience? A brand new season full of … Continue reading 6 Shows to look out for in spring 2022 →

Spice & Wolf Volume 4

After three solid volumes we’re finally approaching unknown territory. Although I’d forgotten about some of the stuff that the anime covered from the first three volumes (cut me some slack, it’s been over a decade) I did remember the major plot elements once they were presented properly. Volume four is what I assume the upcoming … Continue reading Spice & Wolf Volume 4 →
