I woke up this morning to the soft pitter patter of long awaited rain and cloudy, overcast skies. The melodrama of the moment had me yawning exaggeratedly, arms outstretched, and then I shuffled my plaid, argyle socks to the kitchen where I began my morning routine of brewing a cup of tea, with milk and ...

When my childhood friends were watching Bambi, The Fox and the Hound, and other Disney flicks, I was watching RoboCop, Terminator, and Aliens. I like to wryly tell my friends that being raised on these movies really shaped me into the person I am today (Violent? Bold and testosterone-laden? Interpret as you will). Terminator, though, ...

I would have included some in-game pictures and some comments on the gameplay had I ... Read More

We are all taught grammar in elementary school. We learn the difference between those important building blocks of language – nouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs – and then later we learn more tongue twisters like prepositions, pronouns, conjunctions, infinitives and gerunds. I remember when moving to California most of my friends were not taught grammar after ... Read More

1993 was the year gaming was born. In a single year, the release of two games advanced for their time, drastically changed the way games were made and opened new doors of possibility for the gaming industry. And their legacy remains: in 2004 Doom was voted the greatest game of all time by industry insiders, ... Read More
