For anyone who has been following the progress of Purple DadShep--my final playthrough of the entire Mass Effect trilogy accompanied by my friend and neighbor--we have responded to the events of Tuchanka and the Citadel by becoming staunchly Paragon (unless mercs and jerks are really getting on our nerves); those are two quests that really… Continue reading Year of Gaming, winter report

Books I Read and Loved in 2017
November/December was a little bit of a wash reading-wise. I trudged my way through two more books for my book reviewer side hustle, and continued to enjoy Moby-Dick but there's so much of it!
