Like everyone else on the internet, I once teamed up with an artist to make a webcomic. It didn’t get very far, but I’ll share one here each Friday until there aren’t anymore. Enjoy.

Canon Watchdog

Being an obsessive nerd of the highest order, I am often bothered by things in my media that normal people (I call them “normies”) don’t care about. Most normies can overlook a trifling plot hole or a minor contradictory sequence of events as long as they serve the overall structure of the story. Indeed, I […]

This post will only be up top for about seven hours.

Since I’m going to bed at 8am these days, I keep sleeping past my update deadline and getting posts up late. So I’m going to schedule Friday’s post to go live at midnight, and see if that helps matters any. (Pro tip: probably not!)

The thing about Rock Band track packs is that they tend […]
