In this episode, I ramble through beginnings of a heatwave about the upcoming Tenchi Muyo OVA series, the next expansion of Dead by Daylight, and the return of “Asia’s Prince”–star of the 2009 K-Drama “You’re Beautiful”, actor, Jang Geun Suk.

I want to talk about Chattanooga’s newest multi-fandom convention, Metrotham Con, which will be returning for their second installment since the inaugural event in 2019.

The following post was originally written and published during the early days of a general MMORPG blog I ran around 2005, a little before I launched Centaku Media.
