It's been a fairly busy weekend for a number of reasons that honestly, most of you probably don't want to hear about anyway. I needed somewhat of a quick blog idea so I read a few headlines and flipped through my notes before finally looking around... More

1.0 I, like many others, is a huge Smash Bros. fan. Still, the franchise needs some renovations. Leave any you want in the comments! 1. Make It On 3DS I've always wanted to bring these games on the road. I mean, the 3DS has the software to support... More

Alphonse awoke well into the day, he walked out to the kitchen, his head pounding with memories from the night before. He saw Jack still unconscious on his couch as he grabbed himself some cereal. He heard a groan halfway though his second bowl, “That... More
