Dash Files Presents: Mojito Mix

After staying up wwwaaayyy too late listening to Boiler Room podcasts I got the urge to make a mixtape.  I've been off from work the past few days so I thought it was appropriate to make a chilled-out summer mix.  I hope you enjoy.

A Post Apocalyptic Post Rock Playlist

The Lonely Road

School has finally become a distant thought and summer has been warmly embraced. The tug of war over my so called free timed has ceased and activities once shrugged off now seem feasible. Once the debt to my biological sleep debt is repaid I will indulge in my guilty pleasure of wondering the waste. Nothing beats the soft click of a Geiger counter as you rummage through a desk inside of an abandoned school left baron after a nuclear winter. Fallout 3 and Fallout: New Vegas will always be some of my favorite games to come out this generation of gaming and I consider both games timeless. Yes, both games have been criticized for being laced with glitches but the good far outweighs the bad. When you are presented a nuclear apocalyptic wasteland full of monsters, bloodthirsty bandits, and people living in villages built on grains of humanity you can forgive Bethesda Softworks for a few glitches. However that is not the reasoning behind this blog. Seeing the blog hasn’t gotten a new music playlist in awhile I decided to throw up a post rock playlist I throw on when I roam the waste.

Summer Sketches, Vol.1

Pedobear v. Zombie - Edward Castle

 Episode 38: Still Working, is on the horizon and should be available to you soon.  Now that I'm about settled in the new place I've started working in my sketchbook, thinking out ideas and just playing with line and color.  These are straight from the sketchbook, most of these will be developed further, but this is a peek at the sketches as they are right now.  Mostly pen and watercolor.

What If...You Accidentally Time Traveled?

What if you accidentally time traveled ? What year would it be? Do you remember how you looked or how you behaved? How would it work? What if you got caught? What if there were others like you, but they were hiding?

Summer is here.  Ok, summer isn't official until next month, but the weather is warm and school is out so it's close enough for me.  Summer time means more to spend doing whatever we please, which for the time being means spending the wee hours of the morning roaming the wastelands of Fallout 3 and New Vegas, or in my case, spending hours digging holes and building practically useless things in Minecraft, including a ever burning banner for the site.

One day I'll write an epic post about Minecraft, but not today.  No, today I'll spend hours upon hours digging holes in search of precious minerals or randomly generated castles.  Isn't that what summer is all about?
