Gif Essay: The Out Of Place Geek

How many of us have had to attend some manner of non-geek related function over the years? Weddings. Birthdays of really old people. Functions where we might find ourselves awkwardly trying to hold conversation with people we otherwise might never have to speak to for any longer than it takes to make eye contact and nod. […]

Gif Essay: The Road To College

So you’ve gotten your CAO results back and now you’re (hopefully) preparing to start your first year in your number one choice of college. Even if you didn’t get that number one option, rest assured that you’ve got one hell of a year ahead of you; a year of little structure and free of supervision, a […]

Games, TV, movies, books; it doesn’t matter the poison when something sinks its teeth into my consciousness, I can’t not sit there for hours soaking up anything and everything to do with it until all information has been assimilated and I ponder what the bloody hell I’ll do […]

Gif Essay: The Descent Into Cosplay Hell

With Arcadecon currently in full swing and all manner of madness presently occurring, I figured I’d share with you the stages of cosplay disaster that every person will go through at some point over the weekend. When they’re good, they’re great, but the downward slide is a fast and slippery slope. A loose thread now […]

Gif Essay: Cosplay Pitfalls

1. Having too many ideas There are a lot of people who will tell you being full of ideas is a good thing. These people have clearly never had to go through the time and preparation it takes to bring a character into the real world. Sewing and craft time aside, there’s still a lot […]
