It’s Extra Nate! This week I have to write a long-overdue blog about the Futurological congress or I Ben will make me run a mile. So what can I say? Nothing. The end. Okay, fine. These blogs are about supplemental material to the book rather than a book review or a rehash of the podcast anyway. So what can I...

Hello, my name is Nate. Welcome to my original blog post idea. After reading You Are Fatally Invited by Ande Pliego, I got to thinking. What even is a locked room mystery? Because whatever that was, that wasn’t it. Looking at Wikipedia (as my original source didn’t even list “locked room mysteries” as a subgenre and is thus wrong) there...

INTRODUCTION Quarter 2 started off with a book we were really looking forward too. Fire & Blood by George R. R. Martin. The second series by GRRRM that he will ALSO never finish. Featuring such characters as… well I don’t know if there are any actual characters because it’s supposed to be a historical document rather than a narrative. We...

First a special shout out to Nate! Good job, me. You completed the first quarter of blog posts. You don’t have to run any miles at all. You’re the man, man. Anyway let’s talk about Animorphs. The episode came out *checks watch* 4 minutes ago at the time that I’m typing this up. Ben says something controversial in the episode....

This week (or whenever I post this, I don’t know and neither do you) we finish up the second book in the Bobiverse. A book series that’s both cringe and fascinating to me at the same time. It’s a weird combinatino of fun sci-fi ideas that I wish we got to do in Spore (and real life) and pop culture...

We’re back with Extra Nate! I’m attempting to clean up my quarter 1 obligations. I’m giving myself little rewards for finishing out each quarter and for anything I miss, I’m going to run a mile. I’m currently dying of allergies with the sudden shift from winter, to spring, then summer, then back to spring, and (if the weather report is...

Ben if you’re reading this, and you’re not, you’re welcome to make superficial edits to this post. Like changing “Bread Mage” to the actual name of the book and “Evil Inquisitor” to whatever that guy’s job title actually was. I can’t be bothered to go back and look, re-reading books isn’t in my contract. I’ve been struggling to decide what...
