OrcaCon is a convention held in Bellevue, Washington in January every year. Sadly, I wasn’t able to go last year and the two years before that…well, something happened. I’m not really sure what. I went to my first OrcaCon in January 2020 and then… Continue Reading “OrcaCon 2023 Retrospective”

September has been a weird month. School has started again, so work has been busy. I just haven’t really felt up to writing anything, but I don’t usually let that get in the way of doing at least this post. However, things have just… Continue Reading “New to Me – August 2022”

I finished the Top 200 BGG games… Continue Reading “Boardgame Geek Top 300 – Play or Played – #300-291”

It was another great month for “new to me” games in April. I played a total of six new ones, and not a bad one in the bunch. I always enjoy playing new games, but I’m not in the “Cult of the New,” as… Continue Reading “New to Me – April 2017”
