Well, virtually at least. While vacationing with Mrs. Tex the past couple of weeks, I took great personal joy in seeing cities, buildings, and monuments that I’d only experienced through Assassin’s Creed II & Assassin’s Creed II: Brotherhood. For me, those two are still some of my
Donate to Extra Life In the heart of the COVID pandemic, and in the parking lot of the WinStar Casino just north of the Red River, I received the 2020 Hero's Award from the Children's Health Foundation. A few years later, I found myself accepted the
As the screenshot above might imply, the $100K milestone happened on May the Fourth. Yes, it’s taken me almost a month to get this update out there. Not quite how I envisioned hitting the mark that I’ve been eyeing since last year—between baseball season with the kids

Heroes, I'm about to run off to Houston to hear Final Fantasy VII: Rebirth music live because Mrs. Tex rules and let me sneak this in as a birthday present. Before I drive off, I need to drop a quick update about future streaming plans that will occur

I've honestly stared at a blank draft screen trying to think up of some clever intro generate a laugh and morph that into a call for donations. Problem is, I can only dig so deep into a bag of nothing. Perhaps the Mavericks will give me Luka Doncic
I can only best describe yesterday as "well, I figured that would happen." Ohio State won the national title and the hope the first Notre Dame drive gave me quickly dissipated in the first half. Thankfully, the Irish had more fight than I did and made a game
