Spam Central at The Vandoo
Running The Vandoo has its perks (what?) but one of the more interesting, yet tedious parts of my job here is clearing spam. You know what? You’ll get spam from any site linked into the web. That’s a given. It doesn’t look like we get spam judging from the comments that appear on the site;...
Happy Holidays From The Vandoo!

Playing… ‘The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword’
My plan this month was simple– finish all of my essays before November 20th, buy this game as soon as the store opened, and just go with it. It’s been five years (to the date) since a console Zelda game, and Skyward Sword started receiving perfect review scores nearly a month ago. If there’s any...
