So each year when I go to PAX, I try to snag as many pictures of the best (or at least my favorite) cosplayers.

We also get a … Read More Pax East Cosplaying!

I usually roll my eyes and avoid weird ‘working class hero’ conspiracy theories… but I’ve noticed a trend lately when playing Pokemon Go that I wanted to see if others could confirm. In my home state of Massachusetts, I do a lot of traveling on a near daily basis. I keep Pokemon Go on at all times to try to hatch eggs. However… I’ve … Read More Is Pokemon Go Elitist?

… I’m starting to think that abandoning Star Trek in it’s entirety was the best thing I could do. Will I watch it when it comes out? I mean I have a Netflix account, so I may give an episode or 2 a watch just to see how badly it will bomb, but otherwise no. […]
