Anyone Can Paint D&D Miniatures
Every time I start talking about D&D (Dungeons and Dragons) and describe how I enjoy painting the miniatures used in the game, I always get, "I don't have the skill, time, or patience to do that." I can understand that maybe having the time to paint can be difficult with how busy life is becoming for everyone, but here is the thing: Anyone can paint a mini and have fun doing it. Why?

So, here is my first post on painting miniatures.

How a 17-Year-Old Video Game Inspired This Album of Electronic Music
The idea that video games can be considered art has long been accepted by mainstream critics. Time and again, this notion has been proven by games such as Okami and more recently Red Dead Redemption 2, showing that video games can contain the depth of an epic movie or even a classical painting.

Name: John. Class: Travel Photographer/Marksman
Nothing I like more than capturing a beautiful sunset or sunrise or a sprawling vista with some interesting feature (no really I do, check out my instagram johnharrisonmedia) sometimes its on a lovely island, or up on a hill or just a round the town I'm visiting and sometimes theres a huge alien monolith shooting energy beams into the sky or a dragon in the distance.

Warframe's "This is What You Are" is Helping Me Cope with Loss
We live, we love, we lose, and we move forth with our lives. It's an endless dance we will continue with it until our time for our final bow comes near. It's a dance that we've become all to familiar with no matter how painful it goes, no matter how bad we want to stop, and exit the floor. This is something recently I've had to come to terms with as my closest friend, my great grandfather, and the one man I wish I could aspire to be passed on moments after I saw him last.
