Roll the List #32: Kyle’s Take 1

Head to Head Cult Table Top RPG This week on Roll the List we look at cult table top RPG’s. This to me is a game that has a small group of people that will know what game you are talking I about and rave about it without any provocation. For me […]


Boxed Culture: The 10 Foot Tournament Pole

Recently, the yearly LCG tournament circuit finished, or as far as I will probably ever go anyway. They hold Store Championships and Regional Championships in state, then the National Championships and World Championships are out of state. So, I will probably only ever partake in the Store Champs and Regional Championships as I am bad at saving for travel, haha. With the […]


En-gage: (dis)Connection

In a past life–and by that I mean last January–I taught English composition at a community college. On the first day, we went over homonyms: a word pronounced the same as another but differing in meaning, whether spelled the same way or not; heir, air. This was introduced on day one […]

En-gage: You human, you robot 1

you [yoo] (pronoun, possessive, noun) human [hyoo-muh n] (adj., noun, verb) robot [roh-buh t] (noun) I have been working on a writing project since October about defining home (I’m a poet by nature). Although I thought I was done writing about home, its definition is ever-changing. Today, I want to […]


Graphic Reviews: Transmetropolitan

Science fiction is often hit or miss for me. I just don’t have the brain for hard science so the kind of science fiction that I enjoy tends to be more on the soft side of the genre. Due to my introduction to the card game Android: Netrunner, I’ve recently […]


A Bard’s Eye View: Just Shut Up

Just Shut Up: Recognizing Artists Without Vocals For many, instrumental artists are difficult to process.  After all, the way we know and identify with songs is based on the message it presents and the way the words are used.  Lyrics are a great way to help you remember what part of […]
