On May 23, 2016, at 10pm EDT, the Shin Megami Tensei: imagine online servers disconnected its players for the last time.The code that created the game is erased. The Demon Busters and their demons are in oblivion.

It wasn't the first time. It doesn't hurt any less. In fact, it might hurt even more now. This time, there aren't any friendly Japanese players joining the dying international server to invite the players to take refuge with them on their game. They're homeless as well. ...

Six years ago today, my goddaughter was born. I have been blessed to know this intelligent, beautiful, fierce child ever since she was nine months old, when I first held her for her baptism into the Catholic Church.

ANYWAY, on Day 0, it was me and Theo hanging out. The Bear is smaller in person, only 6'2 and maybe 200 pounds of pure killing strength. I expected him to be around 6'6 or 6'8. Either way, he's one totally chill mofo. If anyone is ever in the LA area for any reason, hit up Theo. It's awesome to hang out with the bear. ...

Hi Everyone! As you can see, I’ve survived Anime Expo! More importantly, I MET KAJIURA-SAMA!!!!
