Pilgrimage To Mecha
[From The Escapist magazine] Make no mistake: Gundam is a big deal in Japan. To put it in context for a Western audience, Gundam is the Japanese equivalent of Star Wars, complete with an iconic masked antagonist, laser swords and modern installments of dubious quality.

What Next?
I'm kicking around some ideas of what to write about next, and I thought I might ask my readers what seems interesting. Here is a partial list: Stochastic Duels: This series is stalled, but not forgotten. This will get done eventually because it is part of my "master plan". Fair Dice.
