On Spoilers
Tantz_Aerine at 12:00AM, Aug. 17, 2019
So, full disclosure: I am spoiler immune.
I don't really care if I know how a story ends, or where the twist is. I might even enjoy it more as I anticipate it. I will watch the movie without issue and still enjoy it just as much.

Celebrating Milestones

Throughout my various job positions as well as comic work, there were countless times where my team and myself would accomplish an important goal or milestone but take very little time to step back and look at what we had achieved. This is very easy to do, particularly if there ...

Worldbuilding with Playsets
Banes at 12:00AM, July 4, 2019
While rambling through youtube I saw some reviews of these playsets that caught my eye. They were for the old classic The Muppet Show.
I'm not sure how well known this show is these days; it's been a LONG time since it was popular (of course, I know ...
