Even nerds should work out. I don't care what shape you're in, staying active is important. I have a chronic spinal injury and for years I was full of excuses and didn't join a gym. But this year I finally was peer pressured into joining Planet Fitness by my awesome colleagues who encouraged me to …

Planning My Planner
Are you like me? Do you enjoy the feeling when your schedule (and LIFE) is organized? Do you hate forgetting appointments, parties and plans? Do you like WRITING in a BOOK once in a while? If so, chances are you already have a planner. There are SO MANY kinds of planners. It's very overwhelming. There's …
Traveling the Octopaths!
Wow it's been a while since a game completely took over my life the way that Octopath Traveler (by Square Enix, available exclusively on Nintendo Switch) has done! Before the game's release, I wasn't even that crazy or hyped about it, merely interested from what I had seen in the demo. But now that I own …
Carnies Come to Taproom 307!
What do you think of when you hear "Brooklyn, NY"? For most people, maybe it's the Brooklyn Bridge, or the Barclay's Center, or Junior's Cheesecake. (All wonderful things!) But when it comes to me, I think of Coney Island! Coney Island is so much fun to visit. They have roller coasters and amusement rides, a …

Inside the Nintendo Labo
With birthdays come presents, and so on Friday when I (and thousands of others) received the Amazon Treasure Truck alert for Nintendo Labo pick-up in NYC and a friend suggested this be her gift to me... I decided to go pick one up! I've never purchased anything through Treasure Truck before, so I was interested …
Interview with a Pokédeck
ITS MY BIRTHDAY!!!! *rah rah* The animals in my Pocket Camp are all wishing me a happy birthday. How cute! But more importantly, I got an amazing gift yesterday at my birthday party. My always-thoughtful and amazing bestie CarneyVorous gave me what is called a Poke Box. It's a deck of tarot cards that are Pokémon …
Is that an UPDATE in your Pocket [Camp]??
While we all anxiously wait for the inevitable announcement (someday) of an Animal Crossing Switch title, most fans are content to play Nintendo's mobile version Pocket Camp. I really want to give them kudos because I think this game encompasses the AC feel and cuteness of the main franchise, while seamlessly adapting it to a …
Detective Pikachu Review
What. A. Weird. Game. Nope, overall I'm not happy with the new game "Detective Pikachu" which came out for Nintendo 3DS last week. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mcf0d5UzYgY For those who are unaware, Detective Pikachu is based on an upcoming movie that isn't out until next year. And Detective Pikachu is not like other Pikachus, with their cute squeaky …
