Wandery Wednesday: "Zero, Zip, Zilch."

Look. I...I...I got nothing, okay? Work is going well. Life is okay. I'm trying out a variant of a low-carb diet (reduced carbs, essentially). I'm playing Dark Souls III. I've got no topics bubbling in my brain to talk about. This is essentially placeholder text.

Poem: "Last Will and Testament"

I commend my legacy to my enemies,
My possessions to the highest bidder,
And my soul to whoever can find it.

For it is very small.

*   *   *   *   *   *   *   *   *   *   *   *   *

I'm playing Dark Souls III. Of course this poem involves souls. Don't be silly.  

Music Roundup Monday: "Variety Hour"

Dinner is cooking. Dark Souls III awaits. I have a story to write. Let's make this quick. Music. From last week. Shocker.

Cool Stuff Sunday: "How to Not Be Seen"

Do you have garlic bread? GIVE IT TO ME. I WILL KILL YOU IF YOU DON'T GIVE ME YOUR GARLIC BREAD. Seriously, though. I'm really hungry for more garlic bread. Please? How about if I tell you about cool stuff on the internet?

A Dark Souls board game is entering Kickstarter this month.

The new Suicide Squad trailer looks better than the previous ones, I think. (No, it's not because of Margot Robbie. Okay. It's a little bit because of Margot Robbie).

Want to frustrate invaders? Hide in plain sight.

J.J. Abrams sez that Rey's parents weren't in The Force Awakens. Daisy Ridley knows who they are and doesn't think it's important. HMMMM.

This list of people barred from a London pub is...a thing.

Comments on the internet aren't nice.

Drone warfare is awful. So is the kill list.

Backlog Blitz: Master System, Week Eight, "Can I Stop Now?"

I've got like one more week of Master System games to slog through. Never have I been so happy to be done playing a system's games. I would literally rather play those cheap handheld Tiger Electronics games than most of the games in the Master System's library. That bad. Anyway, I'm posting this blog, then I'm looking for places to submit poetry, then I'm playing Dark Souls III. Just assume I'm always playing Dark Souls III, really.

Last Month's Games: "Decidedly Undecided"

Oh hey. Next month's reviews are going to be two games: Dark Souls III and Saints Row IV. Both great games in their own way. Really really loving Dark Souls III. Just beat the first Lord of Cinder, and pushing for the next one tonight. Ohhhhh yeah. Yeah. WOO. Let's talk about games.

OverAnalyzed: "How to Write a Nautical Horror Story"

This week, we've got something a little different. A little...more personal. I've been a bit engrossed with Dark Souls III, so writing a fully-thought-out OverAnalyzed wasn't going to happen. However, I thought it would be cool to show how I go about writing short stories. In particular, the story "The Last Tall Ship."
