If you’ve been paying attention I’ve kind of been challenging myself lately while I’m working on materials for my new hobby shop. This is no exception, taking something technically last minute and going along with it. Recently, Kotaku tried to suggest changing a key genre name in video games.…
Breaking the Narrative Episode 123: We Shouldn’t Go Straight to Mars! How Anime Got Space Right!
First I apologize for not having an article a bit. I got caught up with a lot of other project work and Father’s Day. I do what I can but sometimes skipping a week is unavoidable due to various issues we all deal with at times. In any case I should just get onto my subject for this week: Space colonization.…
Breaking the Narrative Episode 122: You’re Reviewing What Now? The Dissenter Web Browser!
Before I go into reviewing this I should put out there that even though as of this writing I’m 33 years old I actually started up on the web very young. I was surfing the web when Windows 95 first came out when I was about 9 years old. However my first browser was NOT Internet Explorer.…

It’s been a long time coming but I’ve decided to fully announce some plans that I’ve hinted in some of my past works in relation to mentoring. I’m planning on starting my own hobby shop named Built To Scale: Games & Hobby!…
Breaking the Narrative Episode 121: When false allegations fail in politics: If you can’t win, move the goalposts!

Breaking the Narrative Episode 120: So Your Son Isn’t Autistic? A Consistency of Disdain!
Recently I tried to once again apply my son for preschool or as they are loving to call it nowadays “Pre-K.” My in-laws were attempting to help me out and in their ‘testing’ they misdiagnosed my son autistic because of a 4 point differential under what’s tested.…
Breaking the Narrative Episode 119: Free College as The Democrat Platform? Conveniently Insufficient!
Recently we’ve had the announcements by both Bernie Sanders and Joe Biden for candidacy for the 2020 Election on the Democratic ticket. While I believe that Biden is gonna fall short despite his pleas to the politics of the far left, due to his misunderstanding of them, I am of the mind that the platform piece that is going to more openly determine who ends up on top of the pecking order is...
Breaking an Opinion Episode 6: Are Weebs Really Going To Win the Culture War?
Well this has been a hectic week so to speak, particularly within the vein of anime with the filing of the Vic Mignogna v. Funimation lawsuit. However, I am wanting to approach this from the possible consequences of this event. How this would change defamation law interpretations, how this might give the falsely accused more ways to fight back, and perhaps even the potential abolition of the...
Breaking the Narrative 118: Little Girls Are Not Innocent Princesses! Breaking a Review of Rule of Rose!
In the spirit of being unpredictable I want to pull out a rare game as a way to show why the censorship of media is inherently troublesome. This is an example of a game that has been banned in multiple countries across the world, and was targeted with a ban attempt here in the states, though to no serious avail.…
