Woodworking and Children Steve Sorensen It’s easy to spark the interest of children. Inspirations are boundless in the minds of kids. Woodworking is one hobby or profession that kids can learn to love early on. As they grow, they learn the value of building things on their own, which makes woodworking a practical hobby. Steve Sorensen.  Parents and teachers must remember that woodworking should never be intimidating for a child. Avoid scaring them with the tools, rather explain to them their uses and show them how to use the tools safely. Instilling the craft of woodworking to children takes a lot of patience and love. Parents who are woodworkers by trade or hobby know for a fact that having a child in the workshop can be both exciting and terrifying. While being cautious, teach them about the different types of wood and excite them with projects. Steve Sorensen Wood can take many different shapes and sizes. It can be burnt, bent, carved, sharpened, stained, and glued. Reme...

Underrated RPGs Steve Sorensen The truth is that not all video role-playing games or RPGs are created equally. Below are some of the most unsung RPGs to ever come out on the PC. It goes without saying that all these games are highly recommended. Gothic It’s still a mystery to many Gothic fans why it never really became all that popular. Yet it’s on the lists of many devoted players’ best RPGs. It is an appealing open-world game with tons of side quests that pull you into the world. Steve Sorensen Grim Fandango Grim Fandango’s strength lies in its originality. With a plot centered around a sales agent who sells services for people who want to get to Heaven or Hell more quickly, this game is one of a kind. It has noir feel and the writing is top notch. It’s also a game for people who love poetry. Steve Sorensen. Twinsen’s Odyssey Twinsen’s Odyssey is the sequel to Little Big Adventure, a PC game released in 1997. In this game, you’re Twinsen, who’s constantly hounded by...

Fans of J.R.R. Tolkien’s novels "The Hobbit" and "The Lord of the Rings" might relish the idea of having their own Gandalf the Grey staff. The good news is if you are one of them, you can own one today without spending loads of money. Here’s a quick DIY process from Steve Sorensen. Image source: Etsy.com     Gather simple materials that won’t cost too much money. Some applicable supplies include a wooden dowel, foam, black and grey paint, and hot glue gun. To make the crystal, you can also use a piece of foam, mold putty, Easy Cast, small bulb or LED light, and battery to light it up. First, make the twisted branches. You can rip a brown paper bag intro strips, twist them up, and there you have it. Next, build the top of the staff. Note that the top of the staff is mostly a huge mass of branches that twist upward and make a massive clump. Since the light will rest on the top of the dowel, avoid covering that area with the twists. Image source: Instruct...

I’m Steve Sorensen. While I create staffs for cosplayers and fantasy conventions in the U.S., and while I love Western fantasy films, books, and games, I must admit, I do have a soft spot for Japanese anime. What’s not to love? There are plenty of good titles, and more often than not, their themes speak to me. Image source: lostinanime.com On that note, here are some anime shows that I recommend for all you fantasy lovers out there. The Rising of the Shield Hero If you like your heroes being ordinary people who get transported to a parallel world, this anime is for you. The characters are well fleshed out and more or less original. The character development is akin to some of the best classic RPG games, with the heroes gaining strength and other materials through experience. The Promised Neverland This is more of a dark fantasy than anything else, and may satiate those with morbid tastes. Without spoiling much about the series, the plot revolves around an orphan...

I’m Steve Sorensen, a woodworker. I love crafting staffs for people who use them in fantasy role playing. As such, I’m a fan of fantasy whether it be on books, film, or video games. One of my favorite series of games is the highly-acclaimed Final Fantasy from Square. For this blog, I want to share with you my favorite Final Fantasy weapons of all time. Here they are.      Image source: finalfantasy.fandom.com Atma Weapon The Atma Weapon is a sword found in Final Fantasy VI. It can inflict the highest possible damage out of all the weapons in the game – as long as the character wielding it has high HP. The stronger the character, the higher the damage the Atma Weapon inflicts. Image source: tvtropes.org Buster (Bastard) Sword This is the sword Cloud Strife starts out with in Final Fantasy VII, and probably one of the most recognizable swords in all of gaming. It looks huge and bulky, but it’s as light as a feather. In the film “Final Fant...

Woodworking is a hobby or a profession that has a lot to give. Through it you can build furniture pieces for your home or as gifts to the people you love. You can even sell your work and make significant profit out of it. However, it would be impossible to do all this when you lack in the skills department. Image source: woodworkingmuseum.ca There are still many people who believe that hard work is the sole ingredient that makes up woodworking. Skilled woodworkers know it’s not pure hard work when they have sharpened equipment. Be sure to sharpen planes, saws, and chisels . According to Steve Sorensen, having dull tools can harm your work and potentially put you in danger. If you consider yourself a woodworker, you must be proficient in using a hand plane . While many believe that using a hand plane is simple and self-explanatory, one has to develop the right technique using the tool. Cutting dovetail joints is also a woodworking skill worthy of mastering. This is i...

Image source: androidpolice.com Just the very notion of playing Diablo on a mobile phone is cringe-worthy for die-hard fans of the Diablo franchise. Once upon a time, it was a running joke in the offices of the game’s developer Blizzard, one used for April Fool’s jokes. Now, things have gone 360, and the once-admired gaming company is actually releasing a mobile game called Diablo Immortal. During the recent Blizzcon this 2018, one displeased fan even asked during the Q & A portion of the reveal of the mobile Diablo game was just an “out of season April Fool’s joke,” which generated contemptuous laughter from the many solid gamers present. After all, it was totally unexpected, given previous little hints by Blizzard that there’s a major Diablo game coming out. It’s totally understandable that a huge backlash came shortly after the announcement. It’s not only pandering to a huge market in China for mobile games but also coming across as Blizzard’s unfortunate sanct...
