Summary:
Hi, my name is Denis. I originally started this blog over at Blogger in July 2008. I tend to write a lot about videogames, and have made various rounds of the web.

Twin Peaks of Excellence
Despite the problems we may have adapting forms of media amongst themselves, music and videos are something that are generally accepted, and are an artform in and of themselves. One month ago, to the day, I posted about Amanda Palmer’s … Continue reading

This post is inspired by an hour long conversation with Cap’n Perkins (this was among one of many topics broached, one of which will hopefully see a dual-front post from the both of us within the next month), recently having … Continue reading
