The Streak

This website's origins are fairly humble. Cofounder Jason Siegel, on a trip to visit D.C., came over to the Rhode Island Avenue apartment Bullets and I cohabited at the time. Our sans-agenda hang-out ultimately meandered its way to grandiose dreams about how amazing it would be for our 6-bro squad to start a blog. Impulsiveness took over Read more [...]

Summer Slam Fri-Lights

Since then, I've continued a half-assed binge, which among other things has included watching all of, and reading most of, The Order of the Phoenix. I have some thoughts - on that tale, and HP as a whole. Before we start, Read more [...]

Pong Pod #6: Serving, and Implementing Changes

Howdy! In this latest episode of the Pong Pod, Ezra, Bullets and I wrap up our mechanics discussion by focusing on serving form specifically, and then talk about how - in light of how infrequent we actually have the opportunity to play - one could actually implement positive, permanent changes to one's mechanics.
