Hey Guys! Here is my first flash fiction short story. Keep in mind if it includes Destiny of a Gamer in the title, the short story takes place in Estaysia which is my book's main world. These short stories feature outside characters and sources that introduce main characters, story elements, and even settings. This is the first installment of a series of other short stories I intend to write. Those of you who play Zelda games, specifically Ocarina of Time, think of Gossip Sto

Hey guys, You might have seen on my social media that I am currently redoing my floor. I am excited because not only am I gaining a tile floor that looks like it would belong in a castle, I am creating a clean, cozy space for filming most of my future YouTube videos. I watch a lot of HGTV shows, so you can imagine I was quite excited for a project like this, all with the help of my dad of course. Once the floor is laid down, I get all my things back into place, and I return t

Pokémon Go is quickly taking over the world one country at a time. Gamers and non-gamers alike are playing it. Your friends play it, your co-workers, your siblings, the neighborhood kids, your mom, and maybe even your boss plays it. Many people who have knocked the game at first, shaking a fist to the heavens avowing they would never play are now a couple levels ahead of you, roaming the streets in search of those elusive little pocket monsters maybe a bit more fervently than

Hey guys! I had the opportunity to guest on Another Retro Gaming Podcast show—ARGcast. What the what? I feel like I am starting to get the hang of this. I had a great time with David Giltinan and Robert Workman discussing topics like Mighty No. 9’s 4-hour long credits, Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night, Banjo-Kazooie, Sonic the Hedgehog as an “entertainment icon,” the cancelled Daredevil game, and more of course. I also go into detail about the video games that I’ve played gr

Hey guys! If you missed it, I was asked to guest appear on the Retro Asylum Podcast a few weeks back. I was on my break at my job and I got a DM from Paul Davies on Twitter asking me just that. I was a little stunned at first since I preferred to communicate through writing over speaking and the idea of being on a show, any show, was intimidating to me. I remember while researching literary agents this topic came up. Agents will want you to of course promote the book and it w

You all heard about that kid who recently found traces of a hidden Mayan city, right? Don’t get me wrong, I didn’t use calculations based on constellations nor was I the first to come across this particular site, but I found my own hidden place, a place I had wondered about and found evidence of when I was a kid. By the time Sonic 2 came out when I was about seven, I was already an avid Sonic fan and loved anything and everything that featured my favorite way past cool hedgeh

If someone would have told me as a kid I would one day grow up, make my own armor, and dress up as one of my favorite video game characters along with my friends and get treated like celebrities for a day in one of the coolest, most colorful environments ever, I would have had a hard time believing this would be true. Then again, remembering the kind of imagination I had as a kid, maybe I would have. My first PAX East experience for me was like living in a fantasy world for a

Sometimes the best things that ever happen in our lives come to us when we least expect it. I had no idea when I took a walk with my sister one random summer’s day I would soon create an entire world out of one little moment of musing. Often times I begin to daydream without realizing it. It can happen at anytime whether I mean to or not, when I am in the company of others or alone. It can happen when I am in mid-conversation, when I’m driving, playing a game, or watching a m
