Innocent Digital Piracy
This is a question that will find both a great amount of support and probably an even greater amount of negative response; all the same, I ask the question and make my own argument: “Who does digital piracy hurt under these specific circumstances?”

Who can forget their most cherished memories from beloved games of old, like the catchphrase-filled Legend of Zelda and Pokémon, or even the likes of say Duke Nukem and Gears of War? Some of the greatest moments and saddest memories from video games involved the indoctrination of the greatest lines, most insightful sayings, and misunderstood translations. Whether you’ve played them or not, the following video games have not only outlived their releases and personified themselves within the pantheon of video game history, they’ve also proven to know just what to say and when best to say it.

The Trouble of Being an Introverted Gamer
Growing up in a family of 12, you get a sense of community. We were all friends, we all played and laughed with each other, but my favorite times were when my brother's friends came over to play our Nintendo 64. It was the newest, coolest console at the time, and one of my brother's friends would sometimes bring his own copy of Super Smash Bros. That was my absolute favorite game. I dreamed for the weekends when I would get to watch my brother and his teenage friends brawl it out on our twenty inch TV as some of the coolest characters I've ever seen. "When I grow up, I'm gonna have friends just like this," I would tell myself.

'Spawn: The Eternal' PS1 Review
Some months ago, I visited our local gaming and movies resale store in search of a set of video games from a particular period. The goal was simple: experience a couple games per month from 20 years ago and write a review on them. My results weren't as great as one might have hoped. Between working full-time, planning out of country trips, and trying to maintain my social life, my pickings for 1997 were slim. I did, however, manage to play a few games.

'Eye of the Beholder'
Eye of the Beholder is a Dungeons and Dragons game originally released for the SNES. The GBA version has some changes, mostly in the battle system, but there are others such as a lack of a beholder, a gruesome ball like, fleshy, multi eyed beast, which can find your party of warriors just about anywhere. Obviously the beholder still exists, but it has decided to wait patiently for your arrival. It’s a smug prick.

So You Want to Be a Pokémon Master? - Sinnoh
With the advent of the Nintendo DS console came a new raft of Pokémon games, beginning with the Diamond and Pearl. These games saw the return of features like the real time clock (last seen in Gold and Silver) as well as new features like the Pokétch, an in-game device that allowed you to keep an eye on pokémon left in day-care, view your team without opening the in-game menu, and much more. There were an additional 107 new Pokémon available to catch as well as a post-game National Pokédex, which made Diamond and Pearl compatible with the Game Boy Advance games.

How To Get Better at 'League'
So I guess I'm going to write this as a stream a consciousness. I've always had these thoughts regarding how to help other players get better, to carry themselves out of their current ranking. There are a lot of YouTube videos around talking about learning characters, pick easy champs, and other silly stuff. I honestly believe in order for you to get better is to practice healthy habits regarding the game. So I am going to start and tell you what some of those habits are and 'm going to try and break it down a bit.

How to Build Reinhardt in the Pathfinder RPG
Reinhardt Wilhelm was one of the most recognizable figures in Overwatch. A massive crusader who distinguished himself in many battles against the omnics, he was both one of the organization's greatest champions and harshest critics when it misstepped. Forced to retire due to his age, Reinhardt refuses to sit meekly by while chaos and darkness run rampant across the world. Donning his old crusader armor once more, he acts like a knight errant, doing good where he can and swinging his colossal hammer to remind the world there are still heroes willing to fight for what's right.

God Amongst Men
First and foremost, I should preface this article by saying that I have personally played all of the games in this kick-ass franchise. As a matter of fact, the original God of War was the first game that I ever actually played in my life. Not necessarily the best game a 9-year-old should be playing but what the heck! The new take on Kratos certainly has me pumped and stoked to pick up the controller on April 20th, 2018.

'DDLC' and 'Yume Nikki': Can Video Games Be Art?
CW: This article refers to games with disturbing themes. I have always liked video games. Despite this, occasionally I find myself in arguments where this isn't enough to escape other people's derision and accusations of being out of touch. Apparently it's not sufficient to enjoy games—for some reason, you have to believe that they're art, too.

'Persona 5' Overview
Let’s talk for a second about one my favorite games ever, Persona 5. Let me just start off by saying that just because you haven’t played another Persona game, doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy Persona 5, as their stories are individual but share the same gameplay elements. Persona 5 brings new things to the table and perfects old formulas to make an experience gamers will never forget. If you’re like me and are an avid RPG gamer, Persona 5 is a must-have for you. I highly encourage you to pick it up if you haven’t already done so. I’ll keep this as spoiler free as possible.

'Overwatch' Is Not That Bad
The popular opinion about Overwatch, currently, is one of unpopularity. Sure, the Overwatch League looks grand, and the game is relatively fun to play, but it has glaring balance issues and the matchmaking system needs a lot of work. However, the Blizzard team has performed reasonably well given unfavorable circumstances, while managing to create possibly the ideal platform on which E-Sports can become globally legitimate.
