The Living Card Guy: Big, Expensive, and Bad?

Big, Expensive, and Bad? Today I would like to focus on one of my favorite topics in card games: Big Cards. The ones that you see and you think,”Holy wow! That is a lot of (insert game’s currency here).” Today I want to talk about a few and try to […]


Boxed Culture: A Tale of Trading

A Tale of Trading One of the things I do as an avid member of the board game community is participate in board game trades. To date I have participated in about 30 board game trades. They can range from talking online and exchanging games through the mail to meeting up with someone […]


Graphic Reviews: DCC Showcase – Marguerite Sauvage & DC Bombshells 1

DCC Showcase – Marguerite Sauvage & DC Bombshells I have been waiting since before I started writing Graphic Reviews to be able to attend the Denver Comic Con (living at the opposite end of the state made that a bit more difficult than it is now) and I’m very excited to […]


A Bard’s Eye View: Black Crown Initiate (Metal Alliance Tour)

The Metal Alliance Tour 2016   Remember last week when I said I saw Entombed A.D. once before?  Turns out it was at the Metal Alliance Tour last year with Deicide and Hate Eternal.  Black Crown Initiate was also there.  I was unfamiliar with Black Crown Initiate prior to that […]

Artificial Happiness: Blazing Dragons EP1

Graphic Reviews: Creator Content – Darwyn Cooke

Creator Content Darwyn Cooke And now for something different! This week in Graphic Reviews, I wanted to take some time to recognize and remember the work of a creator who had a huge impact on the comic book world: Darwyn Cooke. Cooke battled an aggressive form of cancer before sadly passing […]

Return of the Vikings Amon Amarth   On 7 May 2016, I went to see Amon Amarth in the concert for the second time.  The first time I saw them was in 2011 in a sold out venue that holds just under 1000 people.  Five years later, they sold out […]
