The biggest disappointment I always have after a good gaming or geek out session is that I can’t cast a fireball irl. Metaphorically speaking; I would rather have some other power, but you get it! Anyway, I have been immersed in gaming and geek culture since I was a wee lad. I have the O.G. GameBoy+me+toilet pic to prove it… I originally went to school seeking fame through acting, but have decided to dive into film, media, and web social media to add to my arsenal.

“Imperius Sex!” You can call me a comic book newb as I only started reading at the start of The New 52 after taking a series of Stephen’s classes last semester that immersed me into the culture. I wanted to branch out from DC and when I found out that Uncanny X-Men was getting a reboot renumbering I figured it was a snap call since I like starting a collection from #1.
