The incomparable Wil Wheaton

Today has been nothing short of surprising and amazing. The whole weekend has been incredible, so I didn't think anything more could happen to make things even better. Enter Link and Dark Link, impressive cosplay females that we saw almost first thing upon entering the center. We stopped for fangirl moments of praise and some photos. Then, something wonderful happened: Wil Wheaton photobomed the photo of me with the Links. You can see the top of...

Greetings from PAX!

I meant to post an update yesterday for day one, but between all of the titles to play, t shirts to grab and board games to learn, I simply couldn't find the time! Right now I am posting from the expo hall while in line for a free, and totally awesome, Shadow of the Colossus shirt!

I don't normally go to very many but this year there are a few on Friday...

I quite enjoyed this seeing as it was fun and fulfilling and best of all he and I are excellent cooperative players at Mario. With all of the insane hopping, jumping, flying, floating and stomping that goes on in a multiplayer side scroller,...

D&D, classic gaming and Lord of the Rings: a brief moment of sharing.

I'm sure there are a lot of things I could talk about right now but really this entry is so I can share this video: It's so well done, and she has a very lovely voice! This gets me even more pumped to start a D&D campaign! I think it'll be happening soon, *squeeeee*! There's not too much space in the house for me to put up my own decorations, which is fine because I have a lot of garage space to work with, but I'm really happy that there was...
