Go crazy? Don’t mind if I do! There was no blog on Monday because my internet was down. At home, anyway, and I make it a point not to blog from work because, well, they’re not paying me to blog. They’re paying me to move a heck of a lot of old assets from old [...]
Sometimes, the video game industry starts to wear on you. Sometimes, it gets tiresome. Sometimes, it gets to the point where if you have to do that same task one more goddamn time, you’re going to stab yourself in the face. When this happens, hobbies are what will save your sanity.
