Arcane – TV Review

March 19, 2022 by hpholo Leave a Comment

Arcane Poster

OMG Y’ALL. THIS SHOW. Jacob and I actually watched Arcane when it first aired back in November, as I’m an enormous fan of all things animation and most things League of Legends (except other players 🤣). But I recently finished what is bound to be my first of many re-watches, and so am properly primed […]

Horizon Zero Dawn – Video Game Review

March 13, 2022 by hpholo Leave a Comment

Horizon Zero Dawn Image

This month in my gaming life was an achievement, as I finally – years behind everyone else – finished Horizon Zero Dawn. I’m not nearly as fast a gamer as Jacob is; if I like a game, I tend to draw out the experience as long as I can, which is easy to do with […]

Dungeon Crawler Carl – Book Review

February 20, 2022 by hpholo Leave a Comment

Dungeon Crawler Carl Audiobook Cover

I just finished listening to Matt Dinniman’s Dungeon Crawler Carl, and Y’ALL. If you have not experienced the audio version of this book specifically, you’re missing out on a treat.  Dungeon Crawler Carl is a LitRPG series-starter in which, in the blink of an eye, most of Earth’s population is obliterated and the planet is converted into a massive […]

Tales of Arise – Video Game Review

February 13, 2022 by holojacob Leave a Comment

Tales of Arise Art

When I’m not writing, I’m usually playing video games, and my main game of the month has been Tales of Arise. This is actually my second play-through (and my first experience with the Tales franchise in general). Initially, I wasn’t the biggest fan of Tales‘ combat system, but the good news is each character has a distinct playstyle, so by […]

Adventures in Co-Authoring with a Sci-Fi Legend: Origins – Act III: Collaborations

February 6, 2022 by holojacob Leave a Comment

The Gordian Protocol Book Cover

Catch up on Act II here! Act III: Collaborations Naturally, being an author (a nobody indie author, but an author nonetheless), the concept of writing a novel with David Weber had crossed my mind. David is, after all, not only a prolific author, but a prolific collaborator as well. I had given David some of […]

Adventures in Co-Authoring with a Sci-Fi Legend: Origins – Act II: Monster Con

February 6, 2022 by holojacob Leave a Comment

Jacob's Well-Loved Copy of In Death Ground

Catch up on Act I here! Act II: Monster Con We arrived early to David’s signing, hoping to not only get my copy of In Death Ground signed, but also to whisk H.P. back home to safety and comfort. This plan, as with many plans before it, did not survive contact with the enemy. David […]

Adventures in Co-Authoring with a Sci-Fi Legend: Origins – Act I: Cancer

February 6, 2022 by holojacob Leave a Comment

I’ve been writing with David Weber for six years—first on The Gordian Protocol, then The Valkyrie Protocol, and now on three more novels set within the same multiverse, the first of which will come out later this year. Even after this long, the notion of writing with David Weber maintains a certain … surrealness in […]

Adventures in One-Eared Cats

February 1, 2022 by hpholo Leave a Comment

Welp, it’s been a bit since Nova’s initial cancer diagnosis. That and her initial surgery fell in the midst of the Monster Punk Horizon series’ launch, so there wasn’t too much time for blogging. 😮‍💨 But now that there is, I’m delighted to let you know that Nova’s surgery went well! 😄 Her vet reports […]

Nova Sitting on a Chair

Here’s your occasional reminder to GET YA WEIRD SKIN SPOTS CHECKED, courtesy of Nova. (BTW, if you follow me on Instagram, you’ll see these reminders more often, in addition to other stuff like more pics of Nova, plants, book updates, and whatever I’m eating/drinking that day, so if that’s your jam, DO IT.) Anyway, earlier […]
