Video Game Music re-arranged, re-orchestrated, and re-made…
It’s a new special episode of On Stage Now this month, but I must preface that it is a somber one. Several weeks ago, it was announced on Twitter that a Remixer from the Overclocked Remix community had passed away. His name was Daniel Woodyer, aka PirateCrab, a heavy metal guitarist who performed covers and […]
It’s that time again for the SoCal Gaming Expo, an event that was held at the Ontario Convention Center, in Ontario, California.

There were also panels of guests, including […]
It’s time to celebrate Mexico and its day of infamy, with Cinco de Mayo, the 5th of May. It was on this day that the Mexican army fought the French army at the Battle of Puebla. Despite being outnumbered, the Mexicans managed to push back and defeat the French. It was a great show of […]

Today we’re celebrating National Gardening Day. Started recently in 2018 by a […]

Last year, my world was shaken by the passing of my mom. It was a sudden, almost unbelievable, moment in my life, despite having attended the funerals of other people, from co-workers to friends. My emotions were running rampant and my thoughts are a hot mess. Much has changed for me but the feelings are […]
