So we didn't really have a topic to discuss but I love any chance i get to talk with Saturnxne so we jumped through a lot of topics! More stuff about my Japan trip (which we later found after recording that the last time we did an episode, I had gotten back from the trip!), the games we've been playing, her convention hopefuls over in the states and a whole lot more. Seriously can talk with Saturnxne about so much and I already can't wait to have her on again later this year at some point :)

Round 3 w/ Saturnxne!

Thank you for your continued support as I try to work through getting new content out! I'm beyond happy to start off the new year strong with a really fun episode with one of my friends Donny otherwise known as SpvceVVitch online. He's trying to get into cosplay more and got to attend MAGFest last month for the second time. Pretty much we go into it in regards to what the convention was like, its theming, helping out at the Artist Alley with some of his friends and the things that make this festival a non stop party! Really had a blast talking and catching up with him. I hope you all enjoy this episode :)

MAGFest 2026

Thank you for tuning in for today's episode! I got to have an amazing chat with my friend HyperChai for a little nighttime discussion about their time at PAX West a few weeks ago. Through helping out the Guardians Mental Health community, she got to experience the perspective of working as an exhibitor. What I loved was hearing about the differences between West & East over in the Boston area. We go over what companies were there attending, vendors, coffee in Seattle and TARIFFS (yayyyy ;-;). I also give her and you all a quick run down on the Nintendo Direct that happened last Friday plus everything being way too expensive nowadays. I really hope you guys enjoy this episode, I'm eternally grateful for HyperChai letting take time out of their schedule to do this catch up with me :)

PAX West with HyperChai

Hello! I'm excited to have a fun & casual catch up chat with my amazing friend Saturnxne for today's new episode! We essentially just go for a few hours talking about the latest games we've been playing, how we're enjoying the Switch 2 PLUS her thoughts on the last Fan Expo she went to last year. We also go on a Zelda tangent discussing the timeline (we're not experts I swear!) in relation to the recently announced casting Nintendo shared for the live action movie! Also, as die hard coffee lovers, we chat about that as well. Hope you all enjoy this fireside-esque chat :)

Catching Up with Saturnxne!

I'm happy to share my full PAX East 2025 recap episode! Joined as always by my friend & cosplayer/streamer Mink the Satyr, we go over pretty much everything we can think of. From stand out booth designs, the mainstays and of course the games. We also talk about panels, the cosplay space, Red Bull sponsoring the Creator/Media areas, our respective swag and FOOD! So much food consumed in the span of 3 days. This convention always feels like home to me so I hope you guys enjoy this talk I got to have with Mink :)

PAX East 2025

It's been a really long time since I last had KarnageCos on the show and let me tell you how amazing it was! Just us going on about the various conventions they've been to since pretty much the start of last year. Mostly focusing on the ones where she was invited as an official creator/guest but it was still a TON! I was really amazed at the type of conventions she attended. We also go into a lot of convention comparisons and even comparing the various states/areas of Australia to what their U.S. counterpart would be. Bet you weren't expecting to hear a lot about Australia's own Texas right? I get all sappy when it comes to having super long episodes with friends I really cherish so enjoy us catching up for 2.5 hours <3

Catching Up With KarnageCos!

Oh man did we cover a lot in this episode! My annual catch up with Emris Coscept is here and we had so much to say. In addition to the teases of my eventual PAX East episode, Emris went into detail about SakuraCon and how it was done this year. Questionable details aside, she talks about how her cosplays were a surprise hit, the scope of Artist Alley and other cosplays seen! Then I ended up going over my Japan trip for them as they've been previously and we compared notes on what we did. Again, it feels really good to be creating content for this show again, i hope you all enjoy this near 2hr long chat!

Emris Coscept & SakuraCon 2025!

I got the opportunity to not only play Good Story Guild’s first ever game—Cat Secretary—but also a chance to interview the devs describing what they wanted to bring to the table with this game. Did you know they also do podcasts? Learn about what they took from that outlet and apply it to their game!

Thank you for joining me for today's episode. While convention season is still very much underway, I wanted to take some time and talk about my trip to Japan that just happened a few weeks ago. It was quite the experience and something I'll never forget. Hope you enjoy, and thank you to those that watched live on Twitch!

Japan 2025

I can't recall if I've ever done an episode regarding MAGFest, so I'm extremely excited to not only have that for you today but with a twist! I'm joined by Lance/Toaster as he details what it's like staffing the event as part of the A/V crew. Particularly going into detail about the arcade section of the con. Learn what goes into a job like this with controlling a myriad of lights as well as his thoughts on how the convention scene has changed from when he first started going to now. This was a really insightful conversation and I hope you all enjoy :)

MAGFest 2025

For this episode, I'm joined by Jonathan who's the head of a newly created organization called Goggles and Gadgets. Mainly to talk about a convention that he's trying to start up known as Creation Con. The convention itself is a one day event held in New York and is being touted as something that hasn't been done before. Geared towards cosplayers, come learn about this upcoming event and what it's like starting up a convention from the ground up!
