Hey all, April is right around the corner! In fact, April Fool’s Day is exactly one week away!

This April happens to mark…

THANK GOODNESS IT’S FRIDAY!!! Whew. Sorry for being so loud about it, but sometimes you just have to emphatically sing the praises of Friday! And as it is another glorious Friday, it is time for us to share some of our YouTube Highlights. This is our weekly round-up of what went down (or up?) recently…
On Being a “Good” Player of Video Games
When I sat down to write this post, I initially had in mind to cover some of the recent news concerning Far Cry 5, due out March 27th, concerning it’s length. The crux of the article was going to be something along the lines of “does game’s length matter anymore?” But then, as I was…

One Year Later and the Switch is Still Going Strong…How is this Happening?
Well, here we are. It’s been a full year since the Switch’s initial release, and Nintendo’s mini-tablet-sized hybrid console is doing just as well now as it was then. One could even argue that it’s doing even better. Aside from the Wii, it’s been a very long time since one of Nintendo’s home consoles has…

Is Gaming Teachable?
I’m not one for having random conversations on public transportation, but every now and then, a random human manages to briefly crack my self-imposed shell.

Day 18: Favorite Protagonist
The slow-paced madness that is the 30 days of video game topics…thingy continues with yet another head-scratcher. My favorite protagonist. Again, being asked what my favorite is of anything is always quite troublesome. My favorites change constantly, and as difficult as it was to decide upon my favorite villain, as was the topic of day…

Persona 3 Portable: Update 2
I don’t know if it’s me or the game, but even though I’ve only progressed a mere 10 hours since my Persona 3 Portable intro post in January, it feels like I’ve accomplished tons. It might be that the game kicked things up a notch with the addition of a couple new teammates. It might…
