Chronicles Of The Event Ninja

In my previous life, I would roam the nightlife. One of my favourite DJs would be DJ J-Fro ( @1djffro ). Covid-19 halted the nightlife and a lot of people jumped on  Twitch streaming. I encouraged J-Fro to jump also but he was buying his time to get it right. Now he has a steady stream 3 times a week, but at first, it was a bit of a struggle. J-Fro will go over his history as a DJ. We talk ab...

DH Showdown EU just wrapped up, and Showdown NA is underway. Congrats to Mirage Esports for winning Stage 1 of Rainbow 6 Siege Canadian Division. I also talk about Cool master and their Kickstarter Campaign. Celebrity giving props on news for building a computer? Where is my 1 second of fame then? lol Intro Music: Adventure by Alexander Nakarada | https://www.serpentsoundstudios.com Music promoted...

I have my fellow photographer Terrie ( @terrie.reyes ) back with me to talk about failures and growth. I have 6 years experience and he has 8. We talked about how he threw me to the wolves to see if I would sink or swim. I guess I floated and survived? Let us tell you some of our battle stories. Let me tell you how many things can go wrong and you just need to learn and adapt. Warning: it is a lon...

Unsung heroes of esports: observers, admins, and casters.

Way back then - DC vs Marvel was a thing in the comics. 5 issues DC best vs Marvel Best. A decade or so later, who would win and who would be on your roster? I started the subject of Batman vs Superman (batman obviously) but then quickly turn into Batman vs Captain America...then soon after Jason W ( @dattriniboy ), from Thoughts and Confessions and Multiverse, started to pick rosters from the cur...

Let it be esports, artists, cosplay, or photography: does gear or materials matter. Sometimes yes, sometimes no. Can having the correct gear help you? yes. But without knowledge of how to use it correctly, it is only half of the battle. First comes the person who has mastered the craft, then comes the effective gear. You can give Link the master sword at level 1, but it will be a hero with only 3...

I have my friend Stephen Voyce ( @StephenVoyce ) back on the podcast to talk about the world situation. I have dropped his name quite a lot since our first podcast together, so it was only fair that I would bring him back to respond to what is happening around the world, how he felt about it, and what is proper allyship. Apparently being decent humans is a hard thing to do these days but its all t...

Remembering Montreal ComicCon. Artists booths such as Marvin , Studio Maze , ChasingArtwork , MissPomme_Pixelarts , and more.

Cyberfox007 ( @Cyberfox007 in most social media) has been at numerous conventions local and outbound throughout the years (and even beyond my years). We talk about how covid-19 has affected his work and what are the work that he has been doing since quarantine. With his years of experiences as a photographer and visitors of conventions we discuss which ones are his best, which one is the most reco...

Some updates around the esports scene: DH CSGO Showdown, EVO cancelled, R6 CA Division, and FGC. I also capped off the episode by requesting a shoutout to all the behind the scene people that should get recognized: the graphic artists, observers, casters, web designers, merch store owners, anyone who is not a gamer but is part of the gaming industry's esports scene. Hand clap to y'all! Notable sho...

With the introduction of John Wick in 2014, gun-fu has a new herald in the form of John Wick (played by Keanu Reeves). 3 movies later, a 4th one on the horizon, a spin-off, tv series, video games, and more, the lore behind the John Wick is vast. Let's hear what actress (and friend) Stephanie Ng Wan ( @stephaniengwan ) thought on the entire John Wick universe. I had to sit down and talk about it wi...

In any creative life (dj, photography, artists, cosplay, and life overall), you should learn to walk away sometimes and just pick yourself up for the next time. It heals the mind and soul.

My last conversation with Giulia (Founder of Tripoli Studios and representative of AoS Montreal), our discussion was mostly about the studio. Soon after it's inception, E3 Agency was born. This is not only a place where someone can hire talented dancers but you can obtain formation for a future career / interview regardless of your walk of life. Let's find out in-depth with Giulia ( @giulia_tripol...

Meet John Eric, comic guy hunter. Ok not much of a hunter but a very good friend of mine that I meet up at MTL Comiccon every year. We have different objectives when we visit the convention however we still love the convention and he goes for panels and to buy comics. This is a conversation from a "premium pass" goer and comic searcher. We talk about celebrity comic book artists seen (such as Kevi...

Running it back from Eps 33, I am continuing my rant on sexism in social media and esports. Toxicity and sexisms still running rampant. Without this conversation and continuing to raise awareness, sexism and racism will not go away. Round 2 - listen a bit, maybe I'm just crazy. Some inclusive community: Red Fuel Community (announced by @missharvey): https://twitter.com/missharvey/status/1208829601...

I have Founder x Owner of Livid Gaming ( @LividGG ), CitizenGG ( @CitizenGG ), chiming in on how it feels to have a cohesive esports org and what are his core values in this foundation. We talk sponsorship and collaborations with @Pulselabs , @oshkopc , and the hottest esports related drink company @GFuelEnergy  (just got my 4 tubes, thanks guys). We dive into what makes sense for an org to p...

We are currently trying to resolve what is happening around the world with systemic racism. I have talked about racism as a whole but also in cosplay. Lets move onto another toxic plane: systemic sexism in esports or video game industry. I do not know of the corporate world, however there has been some toxicity to the next level on a monthly basis that makes it unacceptable. Want to be part part o...

As I was browsing my feed, I spotted @local_super (insta: @local_super) raised (repost) a topic that is also apparent in the cosplay community: racism. Reposting from @sykecos (when recorded it was @crowrium) - the original source, @Rosiestormborn and I decided to tackle this topic head-on considering we are doing our own rounds of conversation in regards to racism. Taking @Sykecos 6 tips in helpi...

As photographers are allowed to resue, I needed to remind so social photography norms and price points. Also my reaction to Playstation 5 announcement. Did I care? What did I think of it? Am I going to invest on the first day?

Conversation with Tripoli Studios ( @tripolistudios )/ E3 Agency ( @triple.e.3 )/ AoS MTL ( @aosmontreal ) Owner Giulia Tripoli ( @giulia_tripoli ). We cover her evolution from a dancer, teacher, owner, and expanding her vision in the artistic side of dancing and we are jamming on good vibes during the conversation. We have worked previously on several collaboration works and I wanted everyone to...

I will be talking about deconfinement and restaurants. Announcing a reduced cosplay event I might host. Thanks to @TheJamesonShow I talked about racism and The Bachelor TV show (thanks man), and I talk slightly about Doll Damage Cosplay ( @dolldamage ) and their recent feature on @geekitcon online panel recently. @TheJamesonShow:  DollDamage: https://www.instagram.com/dolldamage/?hl=en https:...

I have Jason W ( @dattriniboy ), from Thoughts & Confession and Multiverse Podcast, back hanging with me and discussing the same topic that was raised during Stephen Voyce ( @stephen_voyce ) podcast episode: Sexism and Racism in entertainment - did Black Panther and Wonder Woman solved their respective issues or was it pandering. The difference now is that Jason is a fan of the comics and will...

The world gone mad. The one event that started world wide dialogue that was overdue. Reflection. BLM, Racism, and black lives matter.

Rosie, @rosiestormborn , returns to the podcast to deep dive into the life of a cosplayer. What are the behind the scene stuff that a cosplayer goes through so that we (the fans, visitors, and fellow cosplayers), can empathize with another cosplayer to un-toxicity the community as a whole. She sheds some key low features and gives key tips on how to get out of the dark side of things. From mental...
