I went to Thought Bubble! And I LOOOOOVED IT! It’s pretty much my favourite con. [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=45kQtJSzDIE&w=500;s=10] Only when I started editing this did I realise how ill I sounded. That’s no glitch – I STILL have the remnants of this cold going on.

Sorry about the recent absence – been binging on job-applications. Huzzah for making ends meet. At longest last I’ve started “Let’s Gay”, a let’s play series where I play co-op games with my partner Micheal, with comedic, review-esque, and infuriating results. We’re also wanting to review some films together, and drag race, so look forward to that in the coming months. [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?WVfY4-7_X3k?list=PL7pJ1UadEj2vpR5_YzQByx-LIOgnoXfeU&w=500;s=10] Also I’m vlogging again, talking about life and comics. Mostly comics. [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wmrs6hIyonM&w=500;s=10] Both of these things will be updated more frequently once our internet is finally, FINALLY upgraded, as we paid for over a month ago >_> Oh, also coming soon – aRead More →

[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HxG2Csqv4zA&w=500;s=10]   I just cannot get enough of The Switch; the Transgender Comedy that will be hitting American and Canadian television late next year. And while I have plugged it before, when have I been able to resist an interview with some charming and hilarious Canadians? Amy Fox (Series Creator, actor; Chris) and Chance Odin (actor; Phil) join me for a chat about the show’s origins and development, the Kickstarter’s progression and what we can look forward to in the Season 1 debut.

It’s been a while since I did one of these – and I think a new digest is long overdue: Feast your eyes upon these colossai of creativity! Contrived Setups to Niche Pop-Culture References Paul Savage is an incredibly fun and charming Stand-up Comedian and MC based in the UK – and now, not only can I recommend you check out one of his shows (like his upcoming Edinburgh Fringe run), but also his brand-new comic; Contrived Setups to Niche Pop-Culture References. The comic medium suits Paul’s style incredibly well – He’s like the bacon of comedy: big, delicious and addictive pieces of wit, inRead More →

VEDA title

I didn’t really expect to do VEDA (Vlog Every Day in April), it’s usually a thing that rather popular YouTuber’s use to experiment with and evolve skills in their medium. As well have some fun chatting more directly with their fanbase. I follow two YouTubers who are participating in VEDA this year, co-incidentally both musicians and behind-the-scenes people involved with DFTBA Records and the VlogBrothers.

It’s funny, interesting, and often rather emotional.

Winter has come O_O The night is dark and full of terrors… by which I mean extended family visitors, storm-related internet cut-outs, and just not getting cozy and comfortable no matter what unholy collage of layers you might concoct. So – time for another distraction of lovely things I’d say? Steam Powered Giraffe – MKIII It took me about 24 hours after exposure to become addicted to the band Steam Powered Giraffe. And yesterday saw the launch of their 3rd album: MKIII – a journey through and update of the band’s mythos and current lineup. The band is fronted by 3 robots you see, eachRead More →

After having great fun with the Pilot episode, we’re looking to make #GABhangsout a monthly thing! Once again I got to host a fun and thought-provoking panel with amazing guests, this time on the subject of Horror. We discuss the stereotyping used in horror, and how lazy writing tends to vilify legitimate mental health conditions, and medical practices.

While making pizza, I think about the place of Allies within the Queer Community – are they a part of it? Are they ‘allowed’ in? Who can allow or deny people into a concept exactly?
