During the summer of 2018, I decided to try my hand at doing something I’d never done before: write a screenplay. I’ve always loved stories. I drew and wrote comics as a kid (and as an adult), dabbled in creating poetry and short stories throughout public school, and at some point, attempted to write a…
I’ve always liked video games. I’m not exactly sure when I started playing them or what my first video game experience was, but video games have always played some sort of prominent role in my life. Over the 25 years I’ve lived thus far, I’ve spent thousands of dollars on gaming software and hardware, played…
I’ve never been particularly fond of cats. Historically, my experiences looking after various neighbours’ house cats were comparable to visiting murderous mental patients on house arrest, and I wouldn’t go further than describing most of the nicer cats I’ve encountered as “aloof.” In truth, cats are a strange choice as house pets. They’re carnivorous, vicious…
I’ve started and abandoned many blog-type sites throughout my online life so far. I published comics online during my adolescence, started several gaming blogs in my teen years, and, well… here we go again. There’s an old, sobering adage that gets dug up from time to time. Like every other concentrated butt-nugget of wisdom and…
Anyone who has played World of Warcraft will admit to the game’s undeniable, alluring charm. That coin jingle every time you loot a corpse. That dopamine-inducing yellow beam of luminous light upon leveling up. Those iconic sights and zones that serve as friendly reminders of all the time spent – for better or worse – in the…
Despite garnering the attention of gaming sites everywhere for being plagued with various glitches and bugs, I’m having a hell of a time with Battlefield 4. Bad Company 2 was the game that really made me fall in love with the series. It was intense, chaotic, and loud, with soldiers screaming and cursing loudly set to a backdrop…
So, after about a year’s absence, I’m back at this blogging thing again. Isn’t this a little awkward. That only makes… what, four times I’ve gone back and forth now? I’ve been on and off with blogging for a few years now, but it seems like I always end up crawling back to it. I…
BioShock Infinite seems like a pretty swell game so far. I was late to the party with the original, but after catching up, I found it to be one of the best modern-day single-player shooters out there. BioShock brought plenty of creativity to the table, with hulking Big Daddies and the awe-inspiring, DNA corrupting plasmids.…
After posting a rather lengthy write-up about my hopes and fears for the Gears: Judgment release yesterday, I got a good amount of time in with the game’s multiplayer. Such a good amount of time, in fact, that I put off doing this post until now – probably a good sign, eh? Well, yes and…
So, here’s something exciting – Gears of War: Judgement comes out tomorrow! Wasn’t that fast? First of all, let me get something straight, especially because I don’t think I’ve ever written about Gears before on this blog. I friggin’ love Gears of War, but I’ll be honest here, because the series doesn’t exactly deserve applause all…
