Don’t Starve: Pierogies
Being stuck in a wilderness overflowing with mystical creatures and terrors can make a person hungry. The only way to eat is to figure out what combinations are going to work and hope you don’t end up with something that’ll make you ill. Hopefully all that monster meat you keep collecting will be useful. Just…
Guild Wars 2: Spring Rolls
My wife has done enough recollections on her Guild Wars adventures, so it’s my turn! Our guild has been slow to get back to the raid after taking a break, but we finally got back to it and regularly got the vale guardian to the 5th stage! I was so excited that we got that…
Yakuza 4: Tuna Burger
While visiting Japan, most of the restaurants we walked past were, not surprisingly, Japanese cuisine. Occasionally, we would see an Italian restaurant or a fast food burger joint. We decided to check out MOS Burger, one of the more popular burger chains. Overall, I thought it was delicious and would recommend it if you find…
Blade and Soul: Korean Beef Stew
Time to get up for my daily training. Well… maybe I can sleep in just a little long. “Hey Cricket!” Ooohhh no, Jinyung is already here. “Cricket, get up! Master Hong is calling for all of us.” If the master is looking for us, I should probably get moving. Sleeping all day is not going…

Rannie seems really excited about the job, more so than usual. He keeps talking about this being the adventure to make us heroes sung about though all the taverns of the kingdom…
Tales of Vesperia: Scottish Egg
Within the last few months someone was nice enough to update the Tales of Vesperia wiki page with high quality screenshots of the game’s food. It is unfortunate that the PS3 version of Tales of Vesperia was never released in the west. I picked up a Japanese copy about 2 years back and attempted to…
Guild Wars 2: White Cake
With the all the holidays in full swing for the past few weeks many of my friends have been too distracted with celebrations, merriment, and general vacation laziness to play Guild Wars 2. That means my attempts on the Vale Guardian since my last post have been at zero. Instead, I’ve been spending a lot…
A Look Back at 2015
With 2015 coming to a close I figured it was time to take a look back. This year for me has been a roller coaster of ups and downs. I’m ready to kick off the new year but before 2016 hits let’s see what 2015 brought.
Starbound: Meatwich
My friends and I are taking the holiday season in a different direction this year. A few friends will be driving over from Austin to celebrate Burgermas. This is a new holiday where we are going to go around Houston try as many different fancy burgers as we can. There are going to be a…
