Sine wave of dedication

I want to be an Indie game designer. I really do. I want to talk be a skype interviewee on Canon Puncture, Narrative Control, or Master Plan.

I can indulge my pleasure of sharing music with others while strolling through my music collection.] In this first installment of MFMF the theme is banjos (even if you’re not normally a banjo fan, read on). I got banjo [...]
