Gaming Discussion Can Be Incredibly Frustrating At Times – An Update
It’s been a while since my last post. Damn near a week, in fact. I feel like every moment I get closer to really having a proper article flow here, something comes up which throws a wrench in the works, and of course because I’m transparent as a sheet of glass on what’s going on …

Why The Serious Topics?

Notre-Dame de Paris: Damaged, But Not Destroyed
Along with history, another subject I’m quite fond of is architecture, and one particular class of building design that captivates me is the “Medieval Gothic” style, predominantly French Gothic architecture, and no building in the world best demonstrates this than Notre-Dame de Paris. The beauty of the building is absolutely indescribable, and it’s been something …

My Lifelong Fascination With The Titanic
Tonight, April 14th / 15th, 2019, marks 107 years since the sinking of the RMS Titanic. In fact, right now as I begin to write this, 10:31 PM Central Time, would have been 12:33 or so AM the morning of the 15th, 1912, for the Titanic – she would have struck the iceberg 50 minutes …

Yes, Your Old MySpace Account Still Exists, Emo Pictures And All

An Update On The GameAnyone Situation
A few days ago I shared the strange discovery my friend Prince Watercress made in that a game walkthrough / let’s play sharing site known as “GameAnyone” apparently has a tactic of making “fake” accounts for various content creators, auto publishing content they create or share to the platform without that content creators consent.
