NerdieNifties!!!


So, I just launched my own Etsy shop called "NerdieNifties" where I will be selling nerdy art projects. My first project was a "For The Horde" coaster set, which contains 4 pieces. Definitely check it out. I will be making custom made sets as well, and there are a lot of projects in the making!! Make sure to check it out often. Sets in the works currently are a WoW class set, Animal Crossing Logo set, Mass Effect set, among many many others.
My first set available on Etsy!!

My YouTube will still be active of course, and I'm hoping to do a live stream for the release of Warlords, and I WILL be making a Bolero of Fire piano tutorial as was requested by many viewers. There's a lot coming up so stay tuned, and give NerdieNifties a view, or two ;)

Baten Kaitos Origins: A Beautiful Prelude to an Amazing Series.


After finally playing through Baten Kaitos: Origins completely, I have to say Tri-Crescendo never ceases to impress me. I find myself quickly falling in love with the JRPG genre after having played both of the Baten Kaitos games and Tales of Symphonia...These games tie together ageless graphics, fascinating and easy to follow lore, as well as a soundtrack that will leave the gamer with all the feels.

*Note: Random screenshots from the game will be scattered throughout this post :)
I hate that feeling of beating a game and putting a series one loves so much to a close, but wow, I have never been so satisfied to log 55 hours of my life into a game (probably over 100+ hours when you tie in Baten Kaitos: Eternal Wings)...


I post on Google+ about it all the time, but I truly believe that this series is highly underrated, and is one of the best within its genre. It's worth a try for any of you that like a great RPG and love being captivated by a pretty well built storyline...

The only complaint I have is that in Origins, the player is tasked with going to far away places just for one tiny little cut scene explaining where to go next. Seemed a bit unnecessary since the protagonist has a phone to contact the one issuing the orders.

The only other complaint which is the most serious, is that the card system, while still being good, seemed flawed compared to Eternal Wings. Yet alas, I still love this franchise even with the "meh" changes.




This video below the great toupee commentary is just one of the many great tracks in the game. :) Best part is there is a feature in the game to listen to the ingame tracks for as long as you want. *signal applause*. What a great way for fans to admire a very vital component of a game!!!

October 1st!

I'm coming back October first and will be trying my best to overload you guys with blog posts and videos to make up for lost time. Also will be attempting to get a PS4 and will be doing live streams of Destiny as well as some older games I've been wanting to play. I'm looking forward to hosting a Zelda marathon for ya'll starting with Majora's Mask, so hopefully we can get that up and running. Thank you for your patience and I won't be gone too much longer now :)
