Drew’s Blog

My musings reside here! For now, this just shows all my blogs sorted by date (newest at the top). In the future, I will add smart filters. Note: I am having trouble formatting this particular page – sorry for the horrible layout. I will find a way!!

  • Lessons Learned From Legend Of Dragoon

    I know many of us, myself included, prefer games to just be fun. Often an escape, a way to forget problems or school and exist in something not just fun to play, but in many cases a better world. A lighter, brighter world. Unfortunately, sometimes the real world gets dark enough that we have to… Continue reading

  • This Sucks

    Dipshit extraordinaire has won the election. I have all the feels. This country has great potential but it keeps disappointing.

I still have some of my old collection; a small collection, but more than I realized I had. Sure, as I looked upon certain… Continue reading

  • Trailers that give away too much plot.

    In many respects knowing what’s coming isn’t necessarily a bad thing in the entertainment world. For example: if a successful show, film, or game spawns a prequel, it’s okay to know a bit about what’s going to happen before we see said prequel.
