The Steampunk Wizard of Brugge

daniel@highmoonmedia.com (Daniel M. Perez) — Mon, 29 Jun 2009 13:00:48 +0000

Aside from all the neat places I visited in Belgium, all the wonderful historic grounds I traipsed upon, all the yummy beer I drank, the scrumptious chocolates I ate, and the wonderful people I met, there was one event, one surprise event, that stands out as “The Coolest Thing I Saw in Belgium ™”. Let the [...]

Life-Sized Gundam To Protect Japan

daniel@highmoonmedia.com (Daniel M. Perez) — Tue, 23 Jun 2009 13:00:15 +0000

Well, not quite. To celebrate the 30th Anniversary of the seminal mecha series MS Gundam, an 18-meter/59 feet-tall statue of the iconic RX-78-2 Gundam is being raised at Tokyo’s Odaiba island, specifically in Shiokaze Park. You can see more pictures of the Gundam on this post by The Mainichi Daily Post and some taken at [...]

The Best Gamer City

daniel@highmoonmedia.com (Daniel M. Perez) — Tue, 09 Jun 2009 13:30:11 +0000

There are cities that have, at one point or another, been the destination par excellance when it comes to gaming. For years Lake Geneva, Wisconsin was such a place, what with it being the birthplace of D&D, TSR and Gen Con (a worthy pedigree by anyone’s reckoning), but these days, the nexus of gaming has [...]

Keith Baker, Gamer Traveler

daniel@highmoonmedia.com (Daniel M. Perez) — Wed, 27 May 2009 12:00:15 +0000

You probably know him as the designer of the card game Gloom, or perhaps even more so as the creator of Eberron, the pulp-fantasy setting for D&D. At this point in time, however, you should know Keith Baker first and foremost as a gamer traveler, and one who, on his current tour, could very well [...]

Hiatus Ending

daniel@highmoonmedia.com (Daniel M. Perez) — Fri, 22 May 2009 19:28:25 +0000

Though I’ve posted a couple of things since announcing that I was taking a break, for the most part I have stayed away from the blog (though I’m always to be found chatting away on Twitter). I’ve used the time to catch up on some personal stuff and gather quite a few things to talk [...]

Florida Supercon Brings Geek Happiness to Miami

daniel@highmoonmedia.com (Daniel M. Perez) — Tue, 12 May 2009 14:24:01 +0000

Just this past week I was talking to a friend — well, whinning, practically — that we never got any more geek events down in South Florida: no comic conventions, no Star Trek conventions, just one gaming convention a year, blah, blah. Imagine my surprise when I visit a local forum I frequent and see [...]

Brief Hiatus

daniel@highmoonmedia.com (Daniel M. Perez) — Mon, 20 Apr 2009 11:00:49 +0000

I am in Puerto Rico dealing with a family issue for the foreseeable future. During this time, my online access will be very spotty, thus making regular posts harder to achieve. I am putting The Gamer Traveler officially on a brief hiatus until I either return to Miami or have more stable online access (or I [...]

What Do You Want Out of The Gamer Traveler?

daniel@highmoonmedia.com (Daniel M. Perez) — Thu, 16 Apr 2009 11:00:53 +0000

On March 7, 2009 The Gamer Traveler celebrated its second anniversary and much like when it turned one, I completely forgot to mention it or do anything special. It’s a good thing the site doesn’t get mad at me (and if it does, it hides it very well). I believe birthdays are a good time to [...]
