WIP Wednesday – Aug 30

Hey all, Sam and David here again today. Well...we broke our blog streak, just shy of 200 days straight of posting. I'll be completely honest...I had a burnout moment, where I was feeling overworked and overwhelmed and so drained that I couldn't do anything. Part of it was the heat wave that came through the… Continue reading WIP Wednesday – Aug 30

Manga Monday: One Piece, Vol 2 by Eiichiro Oda

Hey all, Sam here. There's always this sense of exhaustion after coming home from attending a convention. Exhaustion mixed with exhilaration. Sometimes it makes it difficult to swing back into the normal work/life schedule. Thankfully, having dedicated series of posts on this blog means we don't have to wonder what we'll post as we try… Continue reading Manga Monday: One Piece, Vol 2 by Eiichiro Oda

July Wrap Up

Hey all, Sam here. It's my birthday!! I'll be working today, but tomorrow after work, David and I will be heading to Gen Con, so that's like my birthday present to myself: four days of tabletop games and geeking out with other awesome people. I look forward to this every single year. But first, let's… Continue reading July Wrap Up

Manga Review: One Piece Vol 1 by Eiichiro Oda

Hey all, Sam here. I finally took the plunge into One Piece. David talks about it all the time (much like he does with Dragon Ball Z and Naruto), and I had originally decided that reading the manga would be the faster and easier way for me to catch up with the series...but with the… Continue reading Manga Review: One Piece Vol 1 by Eiichiro Oda

Hey all, Sam here. Welcome back to another new installment for Manga Monday, the series on the blog where I review a somewhat-recently read volume of manga each week.

WIP Wednesday – July 19

Hey all, Sam and David back again today. In just two more weeks we will be on our way to Gen Con. Oh my goodness, we're starting to get really excited about that.

Manga Review: The Dragon Knight’s Beloved Vol 1 by Ritsu Aozaki and Asagi Orikawa

Hey all, Sam here. Okay, yeah, so when I saved this post, I guess I had saved it as a draft instead of a finished and scheduled post...and then I was tired so I fell asleep for a little while. It is only now, much later than I normally post and near to the end… Continue reading Manga Review: The Dragon Knight’s Beloved Vol 1 by Ritsu Aozaki and Asagi Orikawa
