My bestest bud. He’s almost always sitting or lying down so it’s hard to get standing shots of him as a tripod.

Have spent my whole life trying to top the euphoric high I felt as an 8-year-old on a Bavarian themed mini-golf course.

That’s actually default offering, the season ticket packages are just for the home games. That’s still a lot (40+) to commit to so most teams, including the Kraken, also offer smaller bundles of games as well.

From the way-back days: found my old E3 badge from when I was Director on Saints Row 2 in 2008. Feels like it happened in a different life. Thankful for the memories.

An orange cat in the foreground gazes lazily and sleepily at the camera as he leans against his owner’s thigh, who is also looking at the camera from the photo’s background.

This guy sleeps 20 hours a day and still demands couch nap time every evening.

Just picked it up this week and am loving it. Takes me back to all the adventure games I played over and over growing up. I love the classic text parser model, engages the brain in such a different way than touch/click.
