Last weekend, some friends and I went to the sixth-annual ZapCon Arcade and Pinball Convention at the Mesa Convention Center. It was my first time attending, though they had been telling me for years that I should come check it out. And it did not disappoint! My memories of playing pinball growing up were limited …
Last week, I mentioned to a friend that I was “just heading to L.A.” for the weekend, and he sarcastically responded, “Oh, is that it? No big deal.” To me, it’s just hopping home, the city where I grew up, for the weekend, but there are probably some of you who haven’t been, so I’m …
For the past two years, every time there was a board-game garage sale or flea market, I’d always be on the lookout for Wasabi! It’s an older Z-Man game from 2008, and it’s on my list of grail games that I wished I had a copy of. Recently, my Hooked On Geek podcast co-host Greg randomly …
So Feudum has arrived on our table, and, despite its whimsy artwork, it’s quite a beast. A behemoth to be exact. And maybe a sea serpent. My buddy @idontknowrules has been seriously talking about this game since forever, and we got it on table pretty much as soon as it hit his doorstep. The game …

I’d like to say I’ve been busy gaming and just haven’t been writing but it’s been a combination of life events that has slowed down all the gaming I’d like to be doing.

Arizona Game Fair happened last weekend, and I’m seriously still on a high from all the whirlwind weekend of gaming, hanging out with old friends and meeting more new ones. This is the second year of Arizona Game Fair, and I already can’t wait to see what’s in store for next year. Save the date, …
February always sneaks up on me. Often I haven’t quite recovered from the holiday pandemonium, and, in a blink of an eye, January is over and it’s February â which is littered in ALL THINGS PINK. Don’t get me wrong â I love romance, love and all that wonderful stuff, just not when it’s forced …
I always feel very lucky to have found such a great gaming community here in Phoenix. There’s seriously never a shortage of folks to play with, and getting around the Phoenix area isn’t a huge ordeal. (I’m looking at you, LA.) In an effort to turn Phoenix into a gaming-industry destination, Andrew Long created the Arizona …
Two thousand seventeen was wonderful, eventful, insanely busy, sometimes rage-inducing, and now peaceful and calm because I’m really looking forward to 2018 â on to better and bigger things, right? I’m grateful for the support of my friends and family, and the board-gaming love from all you guys! Thanks for being amazing and for letting …
