I have talked about my friend Mike “Brotha Kyo”  Burgess on this website before when it comes to working conventions. He has been an awesome friend over the years and I would do what I can to help him. For those who don’t know, he is an independent game developer who makes games whenever he [...]

The Twelve Laws of True Man are a cornerstone in the new history of manliness. They are a guide for those who are true men or wish to become one someday. The life of a man is hard and many trials and tribulations will be faced. I wish all you men the best of luck.
