Otaku Culture: Husbando & Waifu
A trend that picked up before I knew it within the otaku community consisted of people asking, “Who is your Husbando or Waifu?”; basically, who would you have as your Husband or Wife if you had the ability to marry an anime, manga, or video game character. I want to talk about this subject and […]

Battlefield 3: Xbox 360 Console Game Review
