A cornerstone of my life in Orlando is back in a new location after a very long hiatus! Rocky’s Replay, which was pretty much Orlando’s only legitmate arcade is back and bigger than ever! There is a lot more space in the location and additional spots to actually lounge and hang out. Anyone who went to [...]

Since July of 2003, I have always been affilated with Full Sail University, either as a student or employee. Now, I will simply be just an alumni. Friday was my last day at the school, and I will be moving on to the next stage of my career as a professional game developer simulation scientist.
Wait, [...]

Halloween weekend was very fun this year! Friday, I dressed up for the first time in ages and went on a date with a lovely lady to Zombie Dance 3, which we left after an hour because it was boring. No offense to A Comic Shop, but I like the parties they have at their [...]

After living in Orlando for over six years, I finally made the time to actually go to Halloween Horror Nights! It was a unusally cold night around this time of year in Florida but it was a lovely night nonetheless!
We didn’t go to any of the “scare houses” because each one had a two hour [...]

Listen everyone, I’ve made a big decision in my life. I’ve been living here in Orlando for six years and it almost feels like every day is the same thing. Life is clearly stagnating and I can not stand that. With the exception of a brief stint in California as a baby, I have lived [...]

Despite it’s poor attendance, Mini-Megacon this past weekend was a success for myself and my group overall when it came to doing our events. We had pretty good turn-outs at our events and some great energy for the crowd. I would have to say the event I felt was the most successful was It’s MANIME! [...]

Anime Festival Orlando 10 just ended a few days ago and I have finally recovered. Swords of Orlandia III was so successful that AFO has made me a full time member of their staff as their RPG Elements Coordinator. Pretty spiff, if I do say so myself. You can send feedback about the game to [...]

I went to Tampa with Biceps Dave on Sunday to see some awesome friends and hang out at the beach. It took a while to get there but it was worth the adventure. Along the way, we went to Tijuana Flats to eat not-Mexican food. Jess challenged me to drinking hot sauce shots, and being [...]
