Interior Decorating as a Calling?
I started playing a Play Store game on my cellphone less than a week ago. I got addicted to it on the first day. I love decorating rooms and this game satisfies my passion for that enjoyment. It allows me to use my tastes and preferences of art and furniture to design a beautiful room and house. I have had very few opportunities to do this in my real life, so this virtual experience is truly wonderful.

Cloud Gaming and the Death of the Console
Console gaming has been my favorite way to pass time since a Super Nintendo found its way into my house in the late 90’s. My brother and I would stay up all night side-scrolling our way through virtual worlds and crashing 8-bit race cars. I still dust off my old Nintendo 64 when it's time to settle things the old-fashioned way-- Super Smash Bros. 1v1 (no items). If you know, you know. If you don’t, don’t worry. By the time you catch up on the history of at-home gaming the next technological disruption will be in full effect. Console gamers are notorious for getting in online arguments about why the PlayStation controllers are better or why XBOX is a faster console. Some fans seem to live for this discourse. Little do they know; within 5-10 years the console will be another relic in the archives of gaming glory. As long as humans have a need to play, smart people will be creating ways to do it faster, stronger, cheaper, and more beautifully. New technologies will continue to be developed and businesses will continue to bring us services to leverage them.

Valheim: Is it worth buying?
Imagine this: you are a Viking. You've led a very successful Viking life. You've conquered foreign lands and pillaged villages along numerous coastlines. You've raised mighty mead halls where you sang and drank merrily during the long winter nights. You've even sailed the high seas seeking out more territory to explore, settle, and turn into fertile farmland.

A New Player’s Guide To Alignment in Dungeons and Dragons (D&D)
The alignment system in Dungeons and Dragons (D&D) can be complicated for new players. Terms like Lawful Good and Chaotic Evil are thrown around, and what they mean isn’t exactly what you think based on the word choice. I have been playing D&D for nearly 14 years now, and the way that the terminology has evolved over time has also helped to change the way that we think about these alignments as a whole. Evil and Good aren’t necessarily as black and white as they used to be in the days of AD&D.

I Found A Community In Gaming That Helped Me Give Back . Top Story - March 2021. Created with: Humble Bundle.
That was the first time I picked up a controller and pressed the start button and became fully immersed into a world that wasn’t my own. From that moment on, I was hooked! The thrill of victory and overcoming the challenges the game had set was exliterating. Each and every game has its own unique win conditions, and once you meet them, you want to find a new game and new win conditions to test your skills over and over again! The ability to play with my friends made gaming a staple pastime in my book.

How Gaming Is Keeping Me Sane . Top Story - March 2021. Created with: Humble Bundle.
Over the last year, we’ve all found ourselves stuck inside more and more. One of the few upsides to the last twelve to fourteen months is how many people have either got back into video games or have picked up a pad for the first time. It’s shown the world just how important games can be both as a story-telling medium and as a form of escapism from whatever troubles, little or large, we face in our real lives. Some people even took the time and effort to master specific games either for their own enjoyment or the satisfaction of emerging victorious (lets face it, winning does feel pretty great most of the time).
