The world of Quality Assurance can be a potentially routine based job and to be fair... that’s correct! You get to perform menial tasks in wonderful worlds for 8 hours at a time, and then go home and realize you have difficulty separating job from hobby!
It takes a lot for me to fall for a TV show in the year 2018. Another “must-watch” seems to air on a weekly basis, and these days I rarely even get curious about them. The shows pile up endlessly, taunting me with beloved actors and intriguing premises. Premieres and finales roll past in endless succession, briefly…
My girlfriend, Sandra, and I attended the first of two concert series days for Philadelphia alternative rock radio station Radio 104.5's birthday celebration this past Sunday. Looking back at the awesomeness and good times in retrospect, it was...convention-like?
Listen, I love video game music. I think done right, it can elevate almost any game. I share Kirk Hamilton’s thoughts that games should feel musical- that the Super Mario series is better because of how musical the games are, how rhythmic the movement feels, how momentum builds as you go along. Other times, the music…
I’m getting closer and closer to finishing the first act and I’ve been replaying a bit of other Visual Novels just to get some more inspiration to keep going with my project, as well as see how other novels present themselves and see if they have any features I want to use as well.
A while back I had the idea of starting a series on TAY where I would pitch some game concepts that have been stagnating in my brain. I was going to call it “The Bullpen,” because of all the pitches. Get it? Like in baseball? Anyway I had what was to be the first installment all written up, but for whatever reason I…
After making some fish fry of the first boss of the game, a new area opened up for me to explore in Azure Nights 2. Unfortunately, this “new” area was actually just the full version of the tutorial level. Though this “new” area didn’t offer too many new things for me to do, it did give me a new great sword weapon to…
Shonen Jump is a magazine with a very long history dating back 50 years. In that time, it has spawned a plethora of extremely popular series that have received numerous adaptations from anime, to live action, to stage plays, audio drama’s, and of course video games. At this years Electronics Entertainment Expo, at…
Almost a year ago I fell into a hole that is Gundam. And while I don’t think I’ll ever be able to dig my way of here, I can scream up at you about the cool stuff I found in here.
Hello and welcome back to our collaborative storytelling experiment. Last week, we were putting the final touches on our setting for the time being. I’ve decided to leave submissions for that open for another week in case anyone missed it, so this week we’ll focus on another aspect. Let’s start figuring out our…
While the Assassin’s Creed games have their fair dose of fiction, they surely do a lot of investigation in order to prepare their games.
From Fate’s beginnings as an eroge evolving into a gacha game with Grand Order to Granblue Fantasy’s addition of a bad guy that outright states he wants some good ol’ fashioned buttfucking, Gacha games have banked on thirst as much as predatory gambling practices to make money, and it has worked spectacularly well -…

Something you may not have known about me is that I really like acting! While I’ve never seen a Broadway production and I’m actually not one to go to local theater very often, I became very active in my high school’s theater program in my sophomore year. While I don’t plan to make a career out of acting, it’s…
Imagine a JRPG released in 2000 with no follow-up, sequel or remake to launch it from cult to mainstream, but was left frozen in the landscape of its time.
People making a living off of producing YouTube videos and streaming on Twitch is still a relatively new market. This new market is dominated by people in their youth. Depending on what kind of content they create, they might not be able to keep doing this forever.
Competitive Splatoon 2 is a high-energy, fast-paced game featuring a variety of modes. It’s a game where comebacks can happen at any time, and tournament organizers don’t make weird decisions about their rule sets. Unless that tournament organizer is Nintendo. The very developer of the game seemingly cannot run a…
Today’s the last day to participate in last week’s edition of the crowdsourced story I’m working on for SixTAY Days of Writing. Thought I’d leave a link here in case anyone missed it.
