A Modest Smash Proposal

December 20, 2018 By Bloggin Hood

Super Smash Brothers Ultimate is here. And yet, for some reason, I’m posting a blog instead of playing. Talk about dropping the ball. Despite popular belief, delays to posts are not tied to Smash. I haven’t played nearly as much as you’d think due to a hectic work schedule. It would be a lie to […]

GOT Review: Episode 19 – Blackwater

November 29, 2018 By Bloggin Hood

Summary –  This episode is unusual as while in jumps back and forward in typical Game of Thrones fashion, it really deviates by focusing on one main event, the battle of Blackwater. This was a unique approach and while I know this was the most talked about episode during the first two seasons, I was […]
