A Tumblr with no central theme except to share things that amuse or interest me. I am 24 years old and living in Iowa City, IA with my wife and loving every moment of it. Currently at Kirkwood Community College and will be transferring to University of Iowa soon. Love reading books and comics, writing fiction, collecting old books and books with interesting inscriptions in them, watching all sorts of movies, playing video games (PS3 ID: TessionTG, PC - Steam: Swenny), hockey (Buffalso Sabres and St. Louis Blues fan since Kansas City still has no NHL team... *sigh* Hopefully they will someday).

What subjects will you see here: Anime (a lot of One Piece and FLCL lately), manga, comic books, super heroes, video games, rpgs, jrpgs, books, fantasy fiction, science fiction, creative writing, maybe some of my own fiction if I muster up the courage to share, favorite quotes, hockey, Buffalo Sabres, maybe some personal views of mine, art, illustrations (those that I find worth sharing and tend to be fantasy/sci-fi), concept art (for video games, books, comics, etc), things relating to Iowa and/or Iowa City,aaaand some other stuff but that is most of it.

Edwinn, my Breton mage, in action.
I am enjoying conjuration quite a bit. 

When not busy with school, I am playing this on PS3. I’m not even a fan of fighting games, but the demo blew me away so I had to purchase it. So far my favorite characters to play as (out of the ones available for me so far) are Tenten, Yamato, Asuma, Kankuro, and Killer Bee. 
Guess once I beat this I’ll have to go back and buy the others in the series. Oh, and I now feel the need to rewatch the anime (minus all the fillers - worse thing about the show).

Quite excited to get this decal and wallpaper for my PS Vita. More here and you can get them for other devices as well. 

I was quite torn on what to get and was tempted to create my own, but Futurama and the Planet Express icon won out.

Ni no Kuni Wizard’s Edition came this week! Best purchase I’ve ever made!

While playing this game, I just want to watch every single Studio Ghibli film at the same time. It is amazing and worth purchasing a PS3 for.  

To those who got their copies cancelled, I am so sorry! I think they should definitely give you what you ordered. I don’t care if I would have to wait months for it, I’d take that over what you are getting.

If there is a good enough response to an HD collection (and it sells well) it may lead to TimeSplitters 4 actually being made. Spread and share the petition with others!

Hey guys! This is a post I’m making about something very important to me, just to say PLEASE.

I’m asking all of you to visit the Video Game Awards voting page for Game of the Yearbest ps3 game, and best song … in fact, every category it is friggin’ available in (best score, best indie game), and please please please PLEASE vote for Journey. I cannot explain how much thatgamecompany deserves this award.

If you haven’t played it, the only way I can explain Journey is as being a profound spiritual experience. It is about life, death, rebirth, and all of those that have joined you on the way. This game means so much to me and so many other people (I’ve probably played it over 50 times at this point…) 

This is a game I go to whenever I’m down. It lifts your spirits, it makes you think, it makes you feel, it makes you cry.

Journey is not the game of the year. It’s a work of art… and I will come forward and say it is the best video game ever.

So please. PLEASE. Take a few seconds out of your day to vote for them. 

This could mean the world to a lot of people.

Please spread the word.

I don’t care for the Video Game Awards at all but thatgamecompany deserves every award possible for Journey.

Finally!!! Took me forever but I finally got all my familiars to level 99 in Castlevania: Symphony of the Night. Helps that I can finally play it on the Vita and got to work on it on the bus on my way to school.

Now to continue onto the second half of the game. *Enters Dracula’s upside-down castle* (Taken with Instagram)

The NHL 13 demo is fantastic. So happy I pre-ordered the Stanley Cup Edition (especially since it doesn’t have Giroux on the cover - don’t hate the guy, he’s a great player but he’s on the Flyers and I can’t have it). Looking forward to playing HUT, though I really wish I could pick my teams colors and select a pre-made team logo or create my own logo. Hopefully that will be a feature we will get in the future… GET ON IT EA!

Look forward to getting my ass kicked on multiplayer (I’m not very good - though I will be practicing like crazy).

Add TessionTG on PS3 and tell me you are adding me from Tumblr for NHL 13 (and any other games that we may have in common that you’d like to play multiplayer).

Sidenote: Sucks that NHL 13 won’t get a PS Vita version :/

If you are a lover of anime from Studio Ghibli, get a PS3 for this. The game is co-developed by Level-5 and Studio Ghibli.
