If I had enough incentive, I would create an introductory paragraph to this essay, one full of elusive synonyms and graceful analogies that would subtly hint at my chosen opinion. However, I’ve decided to take a more direct approach, given that I believe that anyone who truly understands my topic will appreciate my lack of [...]

Abandoned Novel Excerpt. ^.^
This is a story concept for a fiction-psychological thriller novel. I actually wrote the beginning in a brainstorm session awhile ago. It’s much darker than the story concepts I usually write, so I need the practice. The character in question is writing in the pretense of posting online on a blog, sort of a “journal” style [...]
In Defense of the RPG.
It was 3:45 am on a Wednesday night, the chilly December air sneaking in through an uninsulated window. I was glued to my computer screen, my noise-cancelling headset blocking out the echoing techno beat of the dorm party going on downstairs. My Counter-Strike clan was just about to take our 9th straight victory for the [...]
On Writing.
I’ve been attempting to keep a semi-daily journal lately, which has done wonders for my descriptive writing. Since most of my professional writing involves using SEO (Search Engine Optimization) tactics, client requested keyword stuffing, bland and/or non-confrontational language… I’ve forgotten just how much pleasure I get out of a simple freewrite.
Now, that’s not to say that I [...]
Humans are Designed for Monogamy. (Experimental Controversy Essay)
*** This essay is an experiment in creating an opposing argument to one presented in an article on psychology. The argument that I present herein does not necessarily reflect my own opinions, thoughts or beliefs (or does it? I’ll leave that up to interpretation. :p). Also, my knowledge of psychology is rudimentary at best, and [...]
Muse-Inspired.
There are some days when life seems to lose a little bit of its sparkle, a bit of its magic. This is by no means a bad thing – every now and then, even the most imaginative of us requires a bit of grounding. We simply need to be reminded that life does not play [...]
What I Learned from LOTRO. <3
There are many experiences that I could cite as being incredibly influential to my development as a gamer. Building my first computer, sharing a N64 console with my brother, receiving a Gameboy Color system for Christmas, playing Diablo II obsessively throughout college – all of these experiences are valuable to me, each in their own [...]
Vote Tunesha for WCG 2010!
Last year, WCG Ultimate Gamer premiered on the Sci Fi channel. The show drew thousands of viewers, as 12 specially selected gamers clashed for the title of “Ultimate Gamer”. This year, the show returns, once again being a competition to find the best representative for the World Cyber Games.
Right now, WCG is still in the [...]
Blur – A Review of the Beta.
Non-Blur-Related Intro – Skip to the Review for Game Info. :)
My well-loved Nintendo 64 system now sits on my bookshelf, collecting dust. With the release of so many new and exciting games, I haven’t lately had time to pay homage to my cartridge game collection. Even back when I was in college, my roommate and [...]
I Want to Do Something Awesome.
I mean, of course I do. Don’t we all dream about saving the world someday? :-P
Lately I’ve been thinking a lot about serious subjects, such as my direction, purpose and future.
For example, I was approached by an energy drink company, asking me to promote their products. Of course, part of my reaction was, “ZOMG, I’m [...]
