The best prop from tonight’s Mean Girls movie party. I didn’t break mine into pieces, but I did gasp when others in the theater did. #meangirlsmovieparty #alamodrafthouse #sofetch

Where Did I Leave That Damn Voice?

Where Did I Leave That Damn Voice?

Obviously, it’s been a while since I’ve posted anything. It’s also been a while since I’ve written anything, or at least, anything I consider to be actual writing. Oh, I’ve been thinking about writing. Topics, characters, stories, they’re all still swimming around in my head. Sometimes I even jot them down somewhere so I don’t forget. Other times, I have a vague memory of having a cool writing…

The resemblance is...uncanny. I love my multiracial, indigo-haired, pansexual Ryder! #masseffectandromeda #separatedatbirth

Clearly, the only way to meet my activity goals is to go to cons. #pax #paxsouth2017

I feel like this drink is replenishing health and mana (even if it does drain my intelligence slightly) #kimura #PAX #paxsouth2017

Harry, I have no idea where this will lead us, but I have a definite feeling it will be a place both wonderful and strange. #twinpeaks #letsrock

“I wish Star Trek could be more realistic in its vision of a utopian society!”

“I wish there could be a Star Trek show that focused on interspecies alien interactions rather than alien vs. human interactions!”

“I wish Star Trek would do a better job of displaying all the nuances and moral grays that go into maintaining diplomatic relations.”

“I wish Star Trek had a captain that wasn’t just another white dude.”

“I wish Star Trek had at least one canon LGBT character.”

“I wish Star Trek had a well-written female character with flaws and an engaging backstory and good character development for once.”

“I wish science fiction in general would stop assuming everyone will be an atheist in the future.”

“I wish Star Trek could be bolder about calling out real life social issues without their guise of poorly-handled metaphors to protect them.”

“I wish Star Trek would stop assuming that things like intergalactic wars could be resolved or forgotten in just a couple episodes.”

“I want Worf to get more screentime.”

“I want—”

Deep Space Nine. 

You want Deep Space Nine.

Why We Need More Hispanic Heroes in Video Games

I started writing this video way back in March/April, but I was too nervous to actually record it. I worried that I wouldn’t do the subject justice, that I would just look and sound stupid, or that nobody would care.

But then I thought fuck it.

So here it is. This is a tense subject that’s very important to a lot of people, and while I may not be saying anything groundbreaking here, it still bears repeating: Video games need more diversity. We need heroes and heroines of all colors and types, who can be inspirations to everyone - not just a target demographic.

There are some great hispanic and latino characters out there, but the fact that I had to dig so hard to make up a decent roster just serves to show that we’ve still got a lot of work to do.

I wan to start a new series on my channel dedicated to diversity in video games, so I want to know - who are some of YOUR favorite racially diverse characters? I’ll probably start with hispanic/latino characters, but who knows where I’ll go from there!

Don’t forget to subscribe to see more videos!

(And before anybody asks - no I didn’t forget about Guacamelee or Reaper! Guacamelee is awesome, but it’s also very specifically a tribute to Mexican culture, and I’m trying to focus on AAA titles meant for a general audience. Also Overwatch hadn’t come out when I wrote this, and I forgot to add in Reaper!)
