An outlet for thoughts on Games, Food, and anything else that comes to mind
I like pizza! I mean…most people like pizza, it’s one of north america’s most popular foods for a reason. But I like pizza to the point where it’s about to be difficult to rate them in this post. The worst pizza I have ever had – overdone cardboard crust, bland everything else – I’d still rate as 4/10 meaning I …
I didn’t expect to return to Stampede, but I did, and so here is some more food. Chili Lime Popcorn Shrimp Price: $17.50 This was very good. Each of the ingredients complimented each other perfectly, and it was one of the more complex dishes at stampede. The portion was quite sizeable, the picture made it look a bit small, but …
It’s that time of year again! Just like last year I (alongside my wife and a friend) went to the Calgary Stampede grounds, tried all the new food that interested us, and are sharing my thoughts. Here is the full list of new food this year. I recommend using the website’s digital map and filtering by New Foods to navigate, …
YYC Hot Chocolate fest is almost over! Over the course of it I’ve been trying as many hot chocolates as I (feasibly) can. If you want to go out and try some of the best ones, here are the highlights: From Week 1 Cookies & Cream by Rosso Crema Di Arachidi Cioccolato by Cravings Bistro From Week 2 Blueberry Bomber …
Another week of YYC Hot Chocolate Fest, another week of tastings. Dark Chocolate & Cherry Burst by Flower & Wolf This one was quite the treat, is a strong rival with Cravings for my favorite. The hot chocolate itself was delicious, heavy, and creamy, and the marshmallow was delicious. There was a small hint of cherry, but it’s so small …
This Saturday my wife and a friend and I went out to try some more hot chocolates! We wanted to try more, but life has been busy. Here are my thoughts. These were taken to go, so their pictures won’t quite match the official. Caramello Tartlette by Ladybug Bakery & Cafe The cafe itself was lovely, I definitely want to …
So Steamforged recently posted a first look at the mechanics in the dark souls roleplaying game. While I’m going to wait until the game fully releases before voicing my thoughts on it, I’ve been trying to capture the ‘magic’ of dark souls into a tabletop game for years – and I am – definitely not – the only – one. …
Every February in Calgary is YYC Hot Chocolate Fest. Dozens of cafes and restaurants create custom hot chocolates for this month, and $1 from every purchase goes to support Meals On Wheels. Trying new delectable concoctions while helping a charitable organization, what’s not to love! Similar to my Stampede Food review, I’ve decided to write up my thoughts on each …
The last post here was my first about tabletop roleplaying games. It got a lot of excellent feedback, and it quickly became apparent that a follow-up post was needed, so here it is! To summarize the previous article Space and Narrative are two separate mindsets that one can embody when playing a roleplaying game, either as a PC or as …
“You’re in a dark tunnel about five feet across, there is a doorway ahead to your right but the tunnel also continues straight ahead, fading into the dark.” My friends and I were playing our weekly roleplaying game session when, to my surprise, our GM made this statement this to us. So Why Was That Statement Surprising? We were playing …
