Review: Aliens: Fireteam Elite
After a long wait, Cold Iron Studios has finally released Aliens: Fireteam Elite (AFE), and it has proven to be the best installation to the franchise since Alien: Isolation.

This is a cinematic I’ve written for the Alien RPG by Free League.
Book Review: Aliens Infiltrator
In the past few years, there have been several entries into the Alien franchise, and I’m not referring to the prequel movies. Titan Books has been publishing a lot of these books by partnering with sci-fi/fantasy writers like Alex White and Scott Sigler, and the results have been terrifyingly awesome. Each author expands the Alien…

BLOG: Abandoned Spring
I’ve had a lot of projects to work on lately, but I’m finally getting back to a point where I can do things like writing, watch movies, play games, and other recreations. Finally got the place fully furnished, set up a savvy office, started going to the gym regularly, and started a new tabletop…
REVIEW: Alien RPG by Free League
Last year Free League, a Swedish gaming company, released the official Alien RPG tabletop game based on the hit cinematic universe published by 21st Century Fox.

It’s been a long time since I’ve been able to update this blog. But I’ve come back bearing great news. I’m unsure of where to start; there’s been a lot of change for me, and I’m finally starting to feel like I’m where I should be with things. I can’t get into the specifics, but…
Blog post – July 29th, 2020
My apologies for the lack of written content lately. I’ve been making huge strides in my personal life–surprisingly, working at a bar that just opened. I do a little bit of everything there and it pays much better than I expected, so it’s nice. I got a chance to play a bunch of games, so…
King of the Hill appreciation
King of the Hill (KotH) is such a quality show in terms of how the humor communicated and character design. The ability to provide left-wing commentary from a right-wing perspective is brilliantly done by Mike Judge and this style has gone on to influence comedians like Stephen Colbert and Trevor Noah. With tens of…
Pokemon: Let’s Go! review
In the past five years or so, we’ve seen lots of remakes and remasters in both movies and video games. With nostalgia being the popular drive for content creation, Nintendo has jumped on the bandwagon with Pokemon: Let’s Go Eevee/Pikachu as their pseudo-remake of Pokemon Red/Blue. I say “pseudo” because this game is very close…
