The 24 K-Pop Concerts I Attended in the 2010s

Back in February 2018, I made a personal accomplishment by attending 20 K-Pop concerts since 2012. The first K-Pop concert I ever attended was BIGBANG‘s first world tour, held at the Prudential Center in Newark, NJ. Since then, a close friend made it an effort to attend as many K-Pop concerts as physically and financially possible. […]

“We Need A Healer!” – #PoorSportsmanship

In the mid-2000s, before I launched the original Centaku Media blog, I used to highlight horrible players for the pettiest things done upon unsuspecting players, including getting kicked from a Linkshell in Final Fantasy XI because of “spies”, and myself getting told I needed to heal more, playing a level 20 Red Mage, from a […]

A Retail Horror Story, As Told By A Starving Otaku

This is a story that I’m pretty sure everyone can relate to (and one which will especially explain my absence for so long) when it comes to working in the retail industry. I originally thought of just writing this as a personal Facebook post, but it would be too long… So why not share with […]

September 29th marks the 11th anniversary (or #Twitterversary) since I registered an account on Twitter. And the timing is perfect as I finally got the nerves to return to the microblogging platform and clear nearly 400 Twitter accounts from my feed. Well, not EVERYONE. Just the ones who betrayed me. 😀 Not really. 😀 After […]

Last Minute Cosplay Struggles

The struggle is real. As I write this, at 4:30 AM, I realize that I am not going to be finished with a version of a cosplay for a character that I had all year, if not longer to work on–and it would only take a month’s time, with my current work schedule. As of […]

#TBT: Memories of Final Fantasy XI – Nakashima of Remora (Part 1)

In the spirit of starting the new Eorza Journal series of my Final Fantasy XIV progression on YouTube, I’ve been looking back at my old posts on the old blog that were originally crossed-posted from my old Blogger account to CTM, and to be forever shared here on Centaku Media.
