Nature Man Issue #0

During our off season I have found myself very bored. I took up walking long distances for no damn reason. I think people call this "hiking.” I began my journey through The Bronx and then 12 miles later I ended up in the county of Westchester.

After my long walk to the middle of nowhere my legs felt like linguini, but I also felt like Bruce Wayne in Batman Begins when he traveled through snowy mountains all for a pretty flower. (Did you notice Bruce had no signs of frostbite or dehydration by the way? Movie nonsense I say!) When I made my trek I was insane with thirst and I swore I saw the Riddler gliding by me... it wasn't. It was just an old man with a green shirt on a bicycle.

I know that there are these so called real-life heroes like Phoenix Jones and villains like that red velvet cupcake guy, but after this day I became one with nature, as well as traumatized by it. I became NATURE MAN! I conquered 12 miles of trail with my feet! I tackled streams and annoying pebbles that get stuck inside your flip flops. I dare these real-life super people to come mess with me. I shall smite them with vegetation, foliage and other shit.

The Tony Stark of Controllers

It all started with a meteor crash.... No, that's not how this entry goes. It did start off pretty good though.
I got so used to preparing for a show that I found myself doing podcast planning while driving to work. During a short summer vacation I needed to find something to do with myself, other than recording a show.
I either had to punch myself in the face, or find some hobby to slap my brain into! The idea that came to me was to build something or create something hella awesome. I made an Iron Man controller for my Xbox. Take a look and drool!!
