Unpopular Opinion: Movie Edition
This post is (4/31) of the Blaugust 2019 event! You can find out more about Blaugust over at Belghast’s blog. I (Chestnut) created a Twitter list of all participants. UltrViolet created an OPML file of all the bloggers to import into your feed reader. Something I’ve seen going around the blogosphere and twittersphere is this XKCD comic. And I figured it’d make a nice simple post to try to figure out which movie I like falls into this. I was a bit confused with “below 50%”, however, because there’s both an audience score and the “tomatometer”, so I decided to go by either score. I found that one of my…

August ’19 Gaming Goals
This post is (3/31) of the Blaugust 2019 event! You can find out more about Blaugust over at Belghast’s blog. I (Chestnut) created a Twitter list of all participants. UltrViolet created an OPML file of all the bloggers to import into your feed reader. Gaming goals used to be something I posted monthly, but fell off at the end of 2018 with them due to, well, life. I figured I’d try to get back into them in some way or another, and Blaugust is a good opportunity to tackle that, especially as day job calms down a little bit with some reorg that’s happened recently, leaving me with some time…

YouTube Binge: Try Not To Sing
This post is (2/31) of the Blaugust 2019 event! You can find out more about Blaugust over at Belghast’s blog. I (Chestnut) created a Twitter list of all participants. UltrViolet created an OPML file of all the bloggers to import into your feed reader. Today happens to be one of those days (that I mentioned in my prior post) where I’m adjusting what I may normally do to get a post out, but still be a tad interesting (hopefully). When I have rough days, sometimes it’s fun to binge on cute and fun YouTube videos. Most of the time I hit up the Royalty Soaps channel (and her brother’s new…

UltrViolet created an OPML file of all the bloggers to import into your feed reader. Blaugust Has Begun! Today marks the first day of Blaugust. This week, the theme is “Prep Week”. As explained by Bel, “This is a time for those of us in the community who have sorta figured this blogging thing out to help get you started with some tips and tricks style posts.” I’m not always great at working within themes, but today inspiration came to me…

Blaugust 2019 + Streaming Tweaks
Blaugust 2019 It’s that time of year, again! Time for Blaugust, 2019 rendition! I first participated back in 2015, and then again in 2016. Blaugust disappeared for 2017, and was reborn as something a little bit new and different in 2018 (and of course I participated again!). Blaugust is a blogging festival/challenge for all types of bloggers, and, really, all types of serialized content creators. Be sure to check out Bel’s post for full details. If writing text-heavy blog posts isn’t your thing, or even if you just need ideas on what kind of content to create, Bel recently put together a list pulling from ideas folks have previously done.…

Blaugust 2018: Post Mortem
This post (15/31) is part of the Blaugust Reborn event! You can find out more about the event at Belghast’s blog. I (Chestnut) created a Twitter list of all participants. Armagon created an OPML file of all the bloggers to import into your feed reader. As of midnight, Blaugust will be officially over. It has been an interesting month for me, and I (re-)learned some things about myself in this time that I wanted to put out there as a finalization of the event. Blogging every day is a valiant goal, but it is not something I can manage full-time. As evidenced by only completing half the month, it’s not…

Armagon created an OPML file of all the bloggers to import into your feed reader. I’ve been a bit preoccupied as of late, which has put me behind with Blaugust (if you hadn’t noticed). And I just needed to do a bit of, well, bitching. So please feel free to skip this post! It all started on July 20th, when this happened… FML. pic.twitter.com/H2SqdKAJHo — Chestburster 👽 (@ChestnutPlays) July 21, 2018 Which then resulted in this starting on August 2nd,…

Warbringers: Azshara

Armagon created an OPML file of all the bloggers to import into your feed reader. The newest Warbringers video released a few days ago, this time about Azshara. I’ve made it known that I’ve never liked elves. But, there’s just something about Azshara’s story that grips me… I wonder if it’s because the corruption from the Old Gods? I’ve been interested in them since I first discovered they were a thing. They’re completely of the Lovecraftian horror genre (unrelated: I…

Armagon created an OPML file of all the bloggers to import into your feed reader. Spoilers Ahead! Before I begin my ramblings on the little bit of the expansion that I’ve played so far, I wanted to address a few things. First… This post has spoilers… obviously. Read at your own risk. Second, I’m going about this in a slightly different way than I typically do with blog posts. It’s just going to be a bulleted list of thoughts. It’s…
