Hi! You can call me Ian or Echo (because I’m a big dorkus who goes by his screen name sometimes). I’m a lifelong gamer, film consumer, and TTRPG enjoyer. Gaming and film have been part of my life since I was a wee lad blasting aliens on his GameCube and cheering on Arnold Schwarzenegger as he blows away scores of nameless goons, so there’s gotta be at least a handful of insights hidden in my years of experience. As for tabletop RPGs, I got hooked playing DnD after highschool and have only been steadily increasing my hoard of dice and system books ever since.

I decided to start this blog because I love playing new games or consuming new pieces of media and needed a place to put down my thoughts on them. This is going to be a more freeform blog since my ADHD-addled mind needs to jump into as many different hobbies as possible, so if you like variety then you’re definitely in the right place.

Just for grins, giggles, and to give a small snapshot of some of my favorite things, here’s a list of some of my favorite things:

Movies: Pacific Rim, Halloween, Predator, The LotR Trilogy, MST3K

Games: Silent Hill 2, Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance, Metal: Hellsinger, Signalis, Stellaris, Hardspace: Shipbreaker

Albums: The Apex/Abyss duology by Unleash the Archers, The Fox and the Bird by Ok Goodnight, Divisions by STARSET, Providence by Poor Man’s Poison
