I game with my child. Electronics are a daily part of everyone’s life. From checking your social media updates on your cell phone, to reading this article now. We are constantly attached to tech, in some way shape or form. Like many parents, I’m concerned about how much is too much in…

Just when I thought it might be time to turn in the Wii U…
My relationship with the Wii U has been complicated from the start. When it was first announced, I was confused. When it was first released, I was curious. When its commercials saturated my vision, I was frustrated. When its games trickled out, I was bored, except when it came to Super Mario 3D World,…
Dealing with Madness
Image by Flickr user: leateds (cc) Gears of War is kind of a crazy series. It takes place on an alien planet upon which humans are fighting for their right to exist against subterranean creatures (which they may or may not have created), who are in turn fighting for their own survival against members of…
The Smash Ballot
You may or may not have heard of the Smash Ballot, a site that’s letting people vote for which character they would like added to the current Super Smash Bros. (As DLC, I believe.) I was pretty excited when I heard about this, as I definitely have some characters in mind that I would love…
Have a Heart!
“These waters are greedy. They will never give back what they have taken.” This is quote that, by itself, is innocent enough.

I’m even still considering potentially picking up an…
B.Y.O.C. (Bring Your Own Controller)
The following article was originally posted on Geek Force Network on November 7, 2014. While out with friends the other night, a discussion about sharing arose. At first the topic centered around food and couples and the issue of “stealing” food from each others’ plates. The majority of folks (including my husband and I) couldn’t…
Day 9: Saddest Game Scene
I haven’t done this in a while, but you can bet that when I start to resort to the 100 theme challenge and the 30 day gaming topic…um, thingy for blog post topics, I’m running out of ideas. You’re welcome for the honesty. Ahem, today’s 30 day video game topic is #9, the saddest game…
