You’ve probably been frustrated trying to play a video game. You’ve also probably been frustrated trying to solve a Rubik’s Cube. These frustrations can be quite similar. But what about doing both super fast? If you’ve been reading my posts, you know I’ve talked about speedrunning before, specifically the history of the any% speedrun ofContinue reading “Speedrunning and Speedcubing: Eerily Similar and Surprisingly Different”

The Very Best of Jerry Remy
I originally wrote a piece earlier this year that covered some of Jerry Remy’s best moments in the booth with Don Orsillo, but given that Jerry has sadly passed away recently, I think it was best to look back at some of Jerry’s best moments in the booth and outside of all time. I willContinue reading “The Very Best of Jerry Remy”
My Video Game History, Part 4: Finding Gems
2015 – Grand Theft Auto V I consider this game to be a counterpart to Grand Theft Auto IV, and I mean this in a more personal way rather than like a general sense. What I enjoy about GTA IV is the story. I care about the characters and find genuine joy from the interactionsContinue reading “My Video Game History, Part 4: Finding Gems”
My Video Game History, Part 3: Community Building
2007 – Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock My brother and I actually played Guitar Hero II since our cousins owned it, although we would come to own this one and we both got the somewhat rarer Kramer guitar controllers that we proceeded to decorate with the provided stickers. We also wound up playing thisContinue reading “My Video Game History, Part 3: Community Building”
My Video Game History, Part 2: Branching Out
Now we’re getting into branching off of handheld games for the most part and onto console gaming now as by this time, we owned one of the then-current generation (specifically, a GameCube). Then it came to branching off of Nintendo and into Sony with the PlayStation 2. Enjoy! 2004 – Mario Kart: Double-Dash I foundContinue reading “My Video Game History, Part 2: Branching Out”
My Video Game History, Part 1: The Formative Years
Video Games have been a backbone for me. They are a primary hobby for me and have brought me incredible joy. The interactive aspect is an experience that I don’t really get in other art forms aside from drawing, maybe (another major hobby), and gaming also led to forming lasting friendships over shared interests andContinue reading “My Video Game History, Part 1: The Formative Years”
Don and Jerry’s Best Moments
WARNING: This blog will discuss topics that may be NSFW. Reader’s discretion advised. Earlier last week July 7 marked 10 years since this moment in Red Sox history… Don Orsillo, together with Jerry Remy, was just magical. I grew up listening to these two commentating Red Sox games, tuning into nearly every game before IContinue reading “Don and Jerry’s Best Moments”
The Super Mario Bros Any% Odyssey
Super Mario Bros. is probably one of the most recognizable games ever. Since its release in 1985, the game has exceeded 58 million in copies sold as one of the best-selling video games of all time, and until the late 2000s, was THE best-selling video game of all time. With a game having an iconicContinue reading “The Super Mario Bros Any% Odyssey”
My Journey through K-Pop
I’ve been following K-Pop for about 12 years now, and I think it’s a good time to make one post about my journey through the genre, especially since the group I mainly follow is celebrating 10 years in the industry. Chapter 1: Genesis I used to travel to Taiwan to visit family relatives every summer,Continue reading “My Journey through K-Pop”
Cooking Blog: Oyakodon and Katsudon
Cooking has become something I’ve come to really appreciate and enjoy over the last year or so. My mother has been the family cook and was often the one to prepare food for the table. My father would also help on some occasions and was the family’s resident meat grilling expert. My brother also tookContinue reading “Cooking Blog: Oyakodon and Katsudon”
