I haven’t worked on any fiction in a very long while, and it’s been eating away at me quite a bit. Tonight I cracked open a short story I had been cranking out last month. A small chunk of it delighted me greatly and I thought I’d share a short excerpt, just because: ”Can I […]
E3 and the Nintendo Online Paradox

I just bought my very first Apple product. I feel dirty.
Now, just to clarify, I’m no Apple hater. I don’t have the trademark intensely-burning dislike towards the company that my fellow Windows and/or Android-centric acolytes seem to share.
