Prince Charmings: Riot Comic Contest Entry

I entered a League of Legends comic contest held by riot games. It was very entertaining and a fun way to flex some creative muscle.

Overlay for X-Com Stream

A couple of weeks ago a friend of mine ‘Kayfix’ and I decided to play a run through of X-Com with ‘Field Expedient Muliplayer’. The idea is that we run with two teams of four, and that all deaths are permanent (as stated in our code of conduct) and the we cast the xenomorphic extravaganza.…
