Current Projects/Freelance work
- I am a voice talent and script writer for Faerun History
- I have a much smaller personal Youtube channel that I use to make videos on various subjects. Only been making videos for 2 years, but it's growing!
- I'm the host of a Science Fiction & Fantasy Podcast where I interview authors of the genre.
Interests (Includes but is not limited to)
- Writing/Reading (Love writing and I own too many books)
- Video Games (Been a gamer for close to 23 years now)
- Working Out/Martial Arts (Wing Chun/Oyama Karate mostly. Some historical swordplay as well.)
- History (Military History is my specialty)
- Zoology
- Art (Mostly Illustrations. Used to be good. Am picking it back up)
- Voice Acting/Singing
- Tabletop Gaming (Started late in the game. Been at it for 3 years. I was the kid who bought the monster manuals and D&D books just for the lore for the longest time. I've played 3.5e, 5e, Star Wars D20, Edge of the Empire, PF, and PF2.)
- Weaponry of all kinds
- Anime (mostly action/shonen. DBZ & YYH being my favorites)
- Movies (Action/War/Drama films being my go-to)
- Music (Rock of all kinds, as well as historical folk songs, sea shanties, pub songs, a bit of classical music, etc)
- Guitar (am learning to play, but being left handed makes it challenging)
- There's more but if you care enough you can PM me :P
Roleplay F.A.Q.
- Fantasy, Sci Fi, and Historical are my genres. Fantasy being my favorite and Sci Fi/Historical being close seconds.
- Advanced / Nation / 1x1 / Casual (only in certain circumstances)
- I generally write at the 'Advanced Level' meaning 4+ Paragraphs with good grammar.
- I am usually busy with many projects and RPs, but if you wish to do a 1x1 with me, you'll need to present your case. Those I already do it with have my trust as a Roleplayer.
- I love many, many fictional universes so me trying to list them all is an effort in futility!

You are beyond help once you start paying for HBO
HBO is a fiction derived by the lobbyists *tips fedora*
@POOHEAD189 I personally disagree. I believe all of them are attempting to push their own political agenda. And they're allowed to. They aren't state-sponsored shows and their broadcasters aren't state-sponsored either. I just don't like how they go about it nor do I agree with their politics. So I choose not to watch. Others can watch them if they want, they just shouldn't believe that these shows are not thinly veiled political activism.
Do you call pushing an agenda by giving a bias rhetoric, or by choosing topics to give info that lean towards a certain political base?
That explains why I sometimes wake up in the middle of the night chanting John Oliver's name!
Typical liberal, enslaved to the machine that is late night television. Wake up sheeple!
I personally don't like any of those shows. They have a very specific format that is practically brainwashing. You can break down their segments to see that they all maintain a specific pace between what the host says, audience laughter, and any skits they may have prepared. The shows may be comedies but their hosts are political activists so it doesn't excuse their content. They are also fully aware that because of their comedy that many people prefer to watch them over actual news shows because of their similar coverage so they have a wide audience they can attempt to manipulate.
That was my entire point. But John Oliver does a good job of providing information while not pushing an agenda, even if he's got political beliefs. Imo.
John Oliver is my favorite!
YES.
Am planning on a post tonight, peasants.
Oh yeah, I hold no illusions with that. I just feel like they went from 'making news/info funny' to 'making funny news/info.' For instance Jon Steward did really well with giving an informative show that was still very funny. But it's just me being nitpicky though. I still enjoy the late night and daily show with Trevor Noah.
I loved the Colbert Report and the Daily Show with Jon Stewart. They were my favorite comedy shows throughout school. I just dislike a lot of the pandering Colbert does to his audience today. I realize he wants to be popular to them but it seems like he brings a false narrative sometimes at the expense of the truth. David Letterman was known for giving good info while being entertaining and it can be done. Just seems off to me, even if I still watch Colbert. I loved his monologue about Donald Jr.

How long have you been watching him? This is important since like I said, he has recently softened and not been as on point as he used to. If it is only recently I would not blame you but as someone who has been watching him since his The Daily Show days I would say this is not a particularly astute observation.
I've been a fan of Colbert since 2004 or 5. But I am counting him from when he started late night to now. He makes unfounded claims of Trump being found with a smoking gun for instance and saying he'll be in jail by friday, when we know that won't happen. Stuff like that.
<Snipped quote by POOHEAD189>
'member that time Jimmy Kimmel got in trouble for not hating trump enough?
Oddly enough, if someone is nice to him he admits a few things more from seeing that interview. Also that was before his presidency, so he didn't quite have the reputation he does now. I do hate mob mentalities, though. Jilly Fallon was just trying to have a good show.
