Monthly Archives: November 2014

So it’s been, like, a full year since I made this thing, and I figured, hey, I might as well start using it now.

The Plan:

I’m hoping to write an entry once a week for the foreseeable future. It will ideally be coming out every Thursday or Friday, and I’ll try to inform you all if there’s a change in schedule. There’ll be a one week break in early December due to finals and a two week break in mid December because I’m going on a roadtrip with my family. If I’m particularly productive or bored, or if the first article was very easy to write, you may get a double update. (Don’t count on it)

The current topics I plan to write about are:

• Gundam. I recently started watching the series, and after a godawful amount of time spent on various gundam works I’ve got quite a bit to say. I probably will not be going in chronological order on this one, as I haven’t watched all of them. Zeta, 0079, War in the Pocket, Unicorn, and Gundam Build Fighters are liable to get their own posts. 08th MS Team, F91, Char’s Counterattack, and what little I’ve watched of other works are liable to be folded into posts on something else, or else be part of a post compiling multiple short articles.
• Unmosqued, a documentary on internal issues in the muslim community. I watched it recently, found it interesting, and plan to write about it in a series of posts which will require a witty title. For those of you looking for a criticism of Islam as a religion, go somewhere else. I’m a proud muslim, and this series is primarily going to be about A) what I think the community in America should do, B) my thoughts on the documentary, and C) Analyzing mosques I’ve been to and interacted with based on the documentary. I was originally gonna call the series of posts ‘The New Model Mosque’, but after realizing what happened to the New Model Army I decided that that was…unwise.
• Dragon Age: Inquisition. I plan to get the game on/just after release and write a series of articles on the game and my thoughts on how it plays as I go through it. As I plan to get it on the XBox this is liable to be purely text, though possibly supplemented with image macros.
• Tabletop Roleplaying and GMing in general. This is only liable to be one or two articles. I’ve been playing or DMing tabletop RPGs for the better part of a decade now, and so I figure I may as well chip in my two cents on the subject. It’s also a pretty easy subject for me to write about, so it’s liable to be filler if I’m having a hard time with the week’s content.
• Triumff! It’s a Dan Abnett novel, and a pretty fun one at that. Imma give it an article since I feel like it deserves one.

My Qualifications:

Literally nothing. I’m not a professional writer, game reviewer, or even someone particularly influential in the muslim community. My major’s in psychology instead of literary theory, political science, or anything remotely along those lines. I’m merely a questionably intelligent Muslim dude mostly flying by the seat of my pants.
