An update appears

So, I've been busy. Not that it's an excuse, but I swear that I have! First off: I'm the new editor over at Hellmode. The previous editor and the founder had a falling out and I was brought on as a replacement. It's a swell place and Rhea (the founder) is great. I'm hoping to be able to produce more regular blog content outside the purview of my normal ...

Still doing things, I guess

That's right, folks. I now am the proud owner of a biweekly column over at GameSetWatch. Barring a single time of mixing up the name of the voice actress, I did pretty well. The next one should go up on 9/16 and is looking to maybe be about narrative DLC. Maybe. But yeah, this first one was was even cross-posted over at Gamasutra. That has me excited. Very respectable bunch ...

Work I have and work I want

In the process of looking for a job, my contract at Planet Fallout has been renewed and I've become the Louisville Video Game Examiner. The former means a solid year of my car payment with some very enjoyable work and the latter means I have to somehow learn a bit about the Louisville gaming scene. You'd think after living in the area all these years I would have picked ...

Independence Day

After taking stock of my backlog, I decided that I needed to start cutting it down. Chrono Trigger, I'm proud to say, is now complete and put away. I completed all of the extra content barring the new dungeons and monster arena. From what I've seen of the arena, it's pretty much useless anyway. I miss that kind of RPG. It reminded me of why I didn't care for ...

Acknowledging the backlog

Normally this would be something I'd just think about but shoot, I have a blog for a reason. That said, I was cleaning up earlier and after talking about the number of games I've never played and yet own, it dawned on me that there is a certain subset of games I own, have started but never finished. I figured this would be as good a place as ...

A new direction

As many of you probably have no idea, I've owned this website for a great deal of time. How long? Well, long enough that I have an older version of WordPress that really niggles when I have to try and correctly space something. I'm willing to bet I'll spend five minutes or so fighting just in order to get this to show up correctly.Well, whatever. We deal with ...

IUS Writing Competition & IUS Review 2009

After nearly a year of not writing this at all, news! My piece "The Zenith of the Swing" has been accepted to the IUS Review 2009 which will come out at some point in February 2010. Also, a revised version of "To Catch the Rain" has won First Prize in Short Fiction for the IUS Writing Competition which I entered this past May. As soon as anything is up ...

To Catch the Rain [revised]

As the title states, I've taken another look at an older story I wrote for Jackman's W203 Creative Writing class years ago and made some much needed revisions. I've kept both the older version and the newer version listed in my Works, so the changes should be pretty evident. I'm updating the site a little here and there. Aesthetically, mostly, but stuff that should have been done a long ...

Zenith of the Swing

So, I know. It's been a long time since I updated. Well, a lot's happened. Foundling is being published in the IU Southeast Review this January WITH myself reciting it on a CD. I'm excited. Also, I got a job working as a Site Manager for Rise of the Argonauts Vault and am now working as a freelance writer for MMORPG.com doing reviews. I swear I'll update more ...

Coming Soon

There they stood, ranged along the hillsides, met
  To view the last of me, a living frame
  For one more picture! in a sheet of flame
I saw them and I knew them all. And yet
Dauntless the slug-horn to my lips I set,
  And blew. "Childe Roland to the Dark Tower came."
