Just a Child in a Mask - My interview with Nicky Jolene

What I want most out of The Nerdyverse of Madness is to create a platform where I can highlight content creators, artists and the like that I think are awesome,  especially those turning their hobbies into businesses. That is literally what I have been doing, but I want to iterate it every chance I get. I stumbled on a post on Instagram of a child cosplayer who was making bracelets in order for…

'Lil Soka - Reprint from when I was "The Star Wars Historian"

This is a reposted blog post from when I was blogging as The Star Wars Historian, which was around the time that The Mandalorian Season 2 just dropped. At the time of writing, we had not yet seen the live action reveal of Rosario Dawson as Ahsoka and LONG before the first season of her solo series. It is mainly my thoughts on the character, so I have shared it verbatim. Let me know your…

The Warrior Retreat by John Lynch - Full Book Review

4.5/5 ⭐️ THIS REVIEW HAS SPOILERS Wow. Just wow. I honestly don’t have any words to describe how this book made me feel. I hope that if anyone is told to read this book and the see “splatterpunk” or “slasher” that they arent deterred because this book is truly so much more than that. From the very beginning, John Lynch hooks you in and doesn’t let go. This has horror, action, drama and, of…

Bone Smith by Nicki Pau Preto - Review

So, I bought this book based solely on the author description: Nicki Pau Preto is a fantasy author living just outside of Toronto—though her dislike of hockey, snow, and geese makes her the worst Canadian in the country. She studied art and art history in university and worked as a graphic designer before becoming a writer full-time. I, too, am a Canadian living not far from Toronto who doesn’t…

Dragon Ball A New Hope - When Fan Fiction Becomes Top Tier Content

When I decided bring back the podcast in a fresh and new way, I started looking for some Dragon Ball pages to follow. Dragon Ball is my top anime. To quote King Cav who I saw in a video on Instagram: “No anime makes you feel like Dragon Ball.” Going through accounts, I came across this fan manga entitled Dragon Ball New Hope. Though I know it’s out there – I guess with the exception of Star…

Bad Blood and Aphotic Musings: An interview with Tobin Elliott

Check out my interview with horror author Tobin Elliott

You can find my podcast interview with Tobin here once it is available (01/12/24) Over the summer of 2023, I fell into a hardcore reading phase where I was keeping up a Bookstagram. I don’t keep up with that Instagram page anymore, but I absolutely LOVE that community and have made quite a few friends, both reviewers and authors alike, who have been kind enough to follow me over to my new…

Mythica - A low-budget spectacle

I have three tabletop interviews in the pipeline, both on my podcast and via print interview on here. With that, I figured I would like to highlight a little-known series called Mythica. I don’t remember exactly how I came across Mythica, but it was during a time when I was writing a campaign for a group I was playing with at the time. I don’t know if I googled inspiration or D&D vibes or…

The Longest Video Game Marathon Playing Pokémon (I want to be the very best)

Hey, join me on my journey to be the very best

I’m sure you’ve all at least heard of Pokémon, the fandom that swept over the world in the ’90s and infected me with an everlasting fever that I believe will return periodically for the rest of my entire life. Now, when people think of Pokémon, they think of a lot of things, but when I think of Pokémon; I think my best friend, Cody. He is the single greatest person I’ve ever known, and he is no…
