After the render times for this video at 4K ended up taking too long, I decided to go forward with the video anyway at a 1080p render.
I give my thoughts on the really stupid Pokemon Card Bubble, and how this garbage is serving as a barrier for younger, casual players who could be serious participants in the hobby.

2020 is the year where Virtual Conventions very much became a big thing, and I give my thoughts based on my experiences as an attendee, and from what I’ve heard from people hosting panels. Hopefully we’ll be able to all meet in person in 2021.

When I read an analysis of a work of fiction – and the person doing that analysis looks at the world presented in this fiction, sees how it’s fleshed out, and because it’s fleshed out goes “This would be better/best as a video game!” I become kind of frustrated.

This week I’ve got an editorial for you all, thanks to the embarassment of news riches that were worth ranting about. First I have a discussion on the reveal that “Mega Man” would appear in Street Fighter X Tekken, and then I have a discussion about the Used Game Debate, and whether the Occupy movement should get involved.
