writing about stuff & things
This may sound like a strange name for a blog post. I mean, how can someone struggle with their own intelligence and stupidity at the same time? Surely, “you mean the stupidity of one subject that you cannot grasp?” I hear you typing in the comments or on socheeredcial media. No, dear reader, that is Read More …
A few years ago, maybe it was 2014 or even further back, I decided to follow my dream of becoming a writer. I wanted to pen novels, articles, and things that people read – pieces that made a difference. Now, however, I have come to question those choices as I try to find my place Read More …
There’s an old proverb by Virgil and later Saint Bernard of Clairvaux, which is “L’enfer est plein de bonnes volontés ou désirs“. In modern times we understand this as “The road to Hell is paved with good intentions.” While the apparent explanation is that Hell is full of good meanings and Heaven good works, I Read More …
Thanks to a crappy financial situation at the moment, as well as the rising price of everything in South Africa, it’s been a while since I’ve purchased anything to indulgent, besides food. I’ve been building up enough goodies for a full post, though. Part of this price should have ben published a while ago because I received one Read More …
Yes, this is another “my favourite games of all time piece,” which is something you’ve probably seen before on a thousand other websites. I decided to write this down not necessarily for you, dear reader, but rather for myself as a nice way to correlate my thoughts on a range of games. Just bear in Read More …
Tie-in books can serve a great purpose, whether it be to expand on the original medium’s story or give it a different perspective.

I’ve never been one for making lists of books I want to read. Frankly, I have far too many and the idea of choosing a select few tends to send my mind spinning. This year, however, I decided it was finally time to decide myself to a few titles. My list isn’t going to be Read More …
It has been one hell of a long journey, but after five long years, I finally finished Stephen King’s Duma Key. That doesn’t at all mean that it is a bad book, but rather shows my limited capacity for finishing tomes of text or reading in general. The journey started back in 2011 when I purchased Read More …
It’s been quite a few years since I watched the first three Children of the Corn movies, with the first one being the best, of course. A few days ago I came into possession of a box set containing most of the films on DVD — the collection literally showed up randomly in my collection Read More …
I didn’t know about fanfic (Fan Fiction) until after high school, but during my time as a teenager, I inadvertently started writing one. This unfinished work was an homage to Resident Evil and it was during a time where I was obsessed with the series (I still am). The very first game I got for the Read More …
