Shutting One Door, Keeping others Open

UPDATED ON 8/20/21: Facebook, Patreon and Blog IG pages have been shutdown/discontinued As the COVID pandemic rages on and cons are even shutting down into 2021, it got me thinking on a drive home one night about how I'd feel with even coming back to blogging. When cons eventually do come back at some point. Truth be told, many of the posts and content I shared here could be transferred over to more discussions via my podcast CosplayBytes. I've been blogging my love for games, cons and cosplay for 7 years now and maybe it's time to say goodbye for now? My podcast has gotten me some incredible opportunities as a member of Press for conventions, and the rapid love I've had for streaming is also taking up a lot of time now. On top of multiple personal things on my end, I don't think I have the energy to keep this up even post COVID you know? The very first cosplay centered post I wrote was on Jessica Nigri's Deadpool, and since then it's spawned over 800 posts

Testing...1, 2, 3. Let's start this thing!! ^^

Bear with me cause I'm kinda new to the whole blog thing but I figure if anything this first post should serve as an intro to who I am and what this blog will be like!

My name is James and I'm 21 years old. I'm going in the process of transferring to a new school majoring in Graphic Design/Digital Media! My big dream is to get into some form of animation. Oh, and I'm a nerd :).

I've been into video games since I was very little and played the NES at my next door neighbor's house (curse you Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles). Then I got a Game Boy Color, which kicked off my love for Nintendo (and Pokemon). Fast forward to now and i've gone through the N64, GBA, Nintendo DS, PS2, PSP and currently playing through a Wii and 360 with plans to get 2/3 of the next generation consoles.

Besides gaming I also recently got into comics with now being totally devoted to DC and following 5 series (which i'll get into in another post one day)

Now for a big thing, up until a few years ago I dived into an entertaining hobby known as Cosplay. I've made my own outfits, met the people who inspired me to get into this hobby, and the most important reason for me anyways is that I have made some of the greatest friends in my life. I've made 4 outfits so far and currently waiting for New York Comic Con 2013! I'll get into cosplay more and the people who i've met later on!

Ok, so that's my life with geeky interests in a nutshell. Now to get to what this blog will be about! What you'll see will be game reviews, comic book topics, cosplay photos, cosplayer interviews i've conducted (with a little update if needed since they might seem outdated), and convention experiences. As to who i've interviewed, you'll see familiar names like Monika Lee, Lisa Lou Who, Katie George and hopefully many others!

I do hope you guys will stick around! Writing about what i'm interested in was something i've recently gotten into and loved ever since then. See you guys next time!!
