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. Was formerly a staff writer for both GayGamer and The Border House. This blog serves to explicate my thoughts on any number of issues, not solely focused on videogames anymore (though they still make up the majority).Search:

This Gaymer’s Story
Because it needs to be said, I only speak for myself. Trigger warnings for suicidal thoughts, sexual violence, homophobia, child abuse, life. I made the mistake. The mistake I warn others of not doing. I read the comments. In case … Continue reading

Chris Redfield Tied Up
This Flash game (which I’ve embedded farther down the page–NSF work or those who are offended by penis) recently came to my attention. It concerns Resident Evil‘s Chris Redfield, and as the creator puts it ‘taking advantage of him.’ I … Continue reading

A softer touch
