Day 3 Video Game Challenge: Time Is Valuable And I Spent So Much On This Game
Let me tell you my story... Many years ago - before marriage... before children... before a full-time career, I played far too many video games and I spent far too much money on those games, but it was my solitary place and I found joy in disappearing into the various worlds that I encountered through many games. Most of my games were RPG's because as you may have read in my Day 2 article, I was an only child. So, being an only child left a decent amount of games out of my collection because I had no-one to co-op with or join online. So I spent my days and nights building into my RPG characters. I played them all: Final Fantasy, Blue Dragon, Fallout, Borderlands, Infinite Undiscovery, Resonance of Fate, Fable, Dragon Age, Dragon Quest, Dark Cloud & Rouge Galaxy (a enitrely overlooked game by the way) and so many more over the years.

Day 2 Video Game Challenge: Best Multiplayer Game
Okay, so I'm an only child. Let's just put that our there first. I also have a very introverted personality, so interacting with other kids never really came naturally to me. I always felt like the loner. I was the kids at his own lunch table in the cafeteria while everyone else socialized and made friends. I was just... me, and it didn't really bother me.

A Cinematic Universe Within a Dream, Inside A Dream
What is the most resilient parasite? Bacteria? A virus? An intestinal worm? An idea. Resilient... highly contagious. Once an idea has taken hold of the brain it's almost impossible to eradicate. An idea that is fully formed - fully understood - that sticks; right in there somewhere. - Cobb (Inception)
