I&#8217;m a student at the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater, majoring in Media Arts and Game Development and minoring in Computer Science. My favorite game series of all time is Call of Duty Zombies. Specifically zombies. I love indie music, and I&#8217;ve been trying to learn how to make music as well. Whenever I&#8217;m not talking to someone, you can bet I have my Airpods in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For some reason, the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater kind of just hands out blogs to students, so my thought process was just &#8220;why not?&#8221; The official Brian Michael blog was created on August 22, 2024. Originally, I was going to use a more modern theme, but I think this is funnier. The purpose of this blog is to provide my valued thoughts on the most important areas in life: game development, gaming, and music. Anything else that doesn&#8217;t fit in those categories goes into &#8220;life.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, who is this blog for? Me. I kind of see it as a public journal. Well, I guess it&#8217;s more like waving a billboard in space. No one is going to see it, but if someone for some reason decided to explore a little, they could find it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thanks for stopping by. If you&#8217;re still bored, feel free to check out some of my posts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-query is-layout-flow wp-block-query-is-layout-flow\"><ul class=\"wp-block-post-template is-layout-flow wp-block-post-template-is-layout-flow\"><li class=\"wp-block-post post-261 post type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-life\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-post-title\">My Grandma Has Kept This Secret Recipe From Me For Years But I Rediscovered It Myself And Now I Am Sharing It With You All!<\/h2>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-post-excerpt\"><p class=\"wp-block-post-excerpt__excerpt\">Hello fellow chefs!
