Chilling Digitally
Hello, and welcome back to Silver Linings where I chillax with the maligned and forgotten. Let's face it; gaming can carry stresses of its own. Whether you're getting your face stomped in by a Dark Souls boss, or getting teabagged by some jerk in an online round of Halo, gaming these days provides the kinds of headaches that can almost be worse than the normal crap in the real world. Even I experience that kind of thing often. Hell, last week, I almost felt my brain snap when I lost my last life when I was close to getting a tough star in Super Mario 64.

How to Build Jason Voorhees in the Pathfinder RPG
Camp Crystal Lake is cursed, or at least that's what they say. Ever since that kid drowned there, the place has been called Camp Blood by the locals. People keep winding up dead there, and every time someone tries to re-open the thing, tragedy strikes. Most people don't even know about it now, but you still hear screams sometimes.

Robert James Fischer
Robert James Fischer is considered by many to be the greatest chess player of all time. He was born on March 9, 1943 in Chicago, Illinois. His mother was homeless when he was born. She studied for a master's degree in nursing after they moved to New York city, and started working in that field. Who his father actually was, is under debate. It could have been either the German biophysicist Hans-Gerhardt Fischer, or the Hungarian mathematician and physicist Paul Nemenyi.

The Dark Story Behind 'Psychonauts'
To every passionate gamer, the name Psychonauts should ring a bell. Everything started back in 1993 when Tim Schafer was developing Full Throttle with the studio LucasArts. Schafer imagined a scene where Ben, the protagonist, goes under a peyote-induced psychedelic experience, but the idea was discarded from the game because it was not family-friendly enough. He kept it anyway and developed it into Psychonauts while still working for LucasArts.

'Ultima VI, The False Prophet'
The Ultima series has long since been around, but the first Ultima game I played was Ulima VI. It was originally released by Origin Systems Inc in 1990. It's also the third and final game in the "Age of Enlightenment" trilogy. Ultima VI was then adapted from PC platforms to the SNES in 1993, which is when I stumbled across it.
