Happy Star Wars Day!

Happy Star Wars day fellow geeks. Today is the day to celebrate all that is Star Wars, and give us an excuse to buy some new toys / collectables / decor all related to our favorite universe. The official Star Wars site has a nice list of sales happening today. If interested you can find them here.

My favorite on the list is Ruggable. At 15% off that can be a decent discount on a large sized rug. And if you are the lego type the Lego Store has a huge selection of new stuff (at least from the last time I looked at it).

May the Force be with you and have a great day!

The State of The Gameslave

Check. 1, 2, 3…. Ok this thing is still on.

Greetings fellow geeks! It has been WAY too long since I wrote something and A LOT of things have changed over the past year. Since the last convention season ended I have become a father, a pandemic happened and all the conventions that I love were cancelled for a year or two a result, and I moved to a new house. Life is finally starting to settle down (as much as it can with an 18 month old) and as a result I am going to be able to start getting back into the website.

A few plans I have is to start streaming gameplay. The new place has a basement that I am going to get setup in. This also means I should be able to record more gameplay and do more reviews as a result as I teach myself how to edit video. If anyone has good recommendations for video editing software I am up for suggestions.

Well that is really all I have for now. But I will be on more often with random news, comments and the such. See you all soon!

Hi friends. It has been a week, and I didn’t get to have as much time for fun as I had hoped. Such is the life of the local political party officer during primary season. The Colorado Caucuses are this weekend and I’m busy preparing for them. Once past, I’m hoping that I’ll be a little less busy. And, I’m having trouble with watching Keep Your Hands of Eizouken, but not because its bad. It’s because it is so good, and I don’t want to get to the end of the available episodes. As an alternative, I picked up Welcome to Demon School! Iruma-kun, thanks to the recommendation by Geoff Thew (YouTube: Mother’s Basement). And its been a lot of fun in a fairly old-school way. One part of that charm is the ways that the production studio stretched their budget to the absolute breaking point. Plus, an opening theme that feels like it was written in the 90’s. I’m about 4 episodes in, and the comedy is really good. I hope you give it a chance as well.

Now, that all I have time to talk about this week. I’ve got books to read and a caucus to prepare for. Have a great week and game on!

Hi folks. I was so busy on travel last week that I didn’t have time to do anything very geeky. Mostly, I was out on project sites and then talking with project engineers after hours. And, I flew back on a redeye last night, which has left me very loopy. I’ll try to have something more posted for you all next week, but this is all that I can managed tonight. Have a great week and game on!

Hi folks! It’s been a fairly busy week this time around. Between running and going to a science lecture, I didn’t have the energy for a lot of other activities. With caucuses coming up, I’ve also been working on getting organized and ready for that. All that I really have to talk about is reading a little more of Quiet and playing a little more World of Warcraft. Neither of these feel like the sort of thing that I need to spend a full blog post on. I’m going to drop things off here, before I get too rambling. I’ll have something more to talk about next weekend. Until then, have a great week and game on!
