transfigured

After trying to finish school with a “passing” grade and squeezing in 400+ obsessive hours of Splatoon 2 since July 2017 (not to mention the highly addictive Monster Hunter World in March of this year), I’m finally back to catch up on my list of books, anime, and games. Here’s a semi-exhaustive list. I’ll have to add onto this list or make a separate page to house my “to do list” since it’s a little difficult to concentrate while trying to type a blog post and watch Shokugeki no Soma s03e23 (I mean…who IS this Morpheus looking dude and WTF is umami?!). Perhaps I’ll post mini reviews after I finish each item.

Stuff I’ve been OBSESSED with FOR AGES

1. Splatoon 2
2. Nintendo Switch
3. Indie games
4. Fountain pens

Books

1. Hollywood Dead by Richard Kadrey
2. Temeraire books by Naomi Novak
   • Crucible of Gold
   • Blood of Tyrants
   • League of Dragons
3. Paper Magician
   • Glass Magician
   • Master Magician
   • Plastic Magician
4. Lord of the Rings – All of the damned books (it’s quite depressing)
5. The Sprawl Trilogy by William Gibson
   • Neuromancer (Currently rereading due to its complexity and length of time I’ve waited to read the rest)
   • Count Zero
   • Mona Lisa Overdrive
6. The Drizzt Do’Urden books – It’s been a while since I’ve read them, but I mean, this dude is hot except on the short side. Damn.

Anime

1. Black Clover
2. Gran Blue (They said it’s pretty entertaining and funny…we’ll see.)
3. I’m not even going to bother with the 300+ episode type anime like HxH, Fairy Tale, One Piece, etc. Just feel like the yield isn’t worth the trouble. And you shall find me mauled to death by fanboys tomorrow…catch my corpse on CNN @ 9 tomorrow.

Games

1. The Witcher 1-3
2. The Order 1886
3. Fire Emblem
   • Awakening
   • Fates
   • Echoes: Shadows of Valentia
   • Warriors (I’m not sure this one even belongs on this list, but I don’t have a Samurai Warriors lists.)
4. Rayman Legends
5. Bayonetta 1 + 2
6. The Last Guardian
7. Horizon Zero Dawn
8. Uncharted Collection
9. Ni No Kuni 1 + 2
10. Skyrim

I’m not even going to list the games I have to finish.

Just finished this profile of another miscellaneous guy, and surprise surprise I’m all about schmexy anime guys. Although this particular image was drawn just so I can practice painting in Procreate on an iPad Pro (1st gen…which is, surprisingly, still quick on the go with minimal hiccups), I decided to post it because it turned out…okay. I just need to work on it being more “painterly.”

Hello 2018! This website is probably ten years old and hasn’t received an update for just about that long. Sad, I know. But the good news is that I’m finished with school, probably won’t have to study for the next five years or so, and It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia is such an amazing show. What does that mean though? I have a lot more time on my hands to draw, read, game, and to nerd out completely. It’s the year for the newness to begin…or something like that?

Enjoy!
