'The Cat Lady'
I've played many games varying from different genres. And each time I discover a game that I like, I feel that the world of gaming is truly expanding. Some of these different genres and type of games have been around since the 90s and even early 80s and 70s. But I've found one game that has changed the way I've perceived things in life and it's made me stop and think about many things in both my life and in gaming in general.

'Mario + Rabbids: Kingdom Battle' Review
I remember the first time I played through XCOM: Enemy Unknown. It was a solid game, but one that caused my stress level to increase tenfold. There never seemed to be a moment of reprieve, even while I was tinkering around in the underground headquarters. Was I making the right decisions? Would they come back to bite me on a future mission? It was a never-ending game of second-guessing myself, yet somehow still enjoyable.

Speedrunning Cheaters and Why They Pick Japanese Games
Speedrunning is when someone plays and records themselves during a video game with the intentions of completing it as fast as they possibly can. Speedruns are usually the entire game, however, sometimes they choose to run certain parts. The usual rules are just to beat the game as fast as you can, but they sometimes add extra rules such as collecting all items in one room. It is mainly a challenge for oneself.

The New Era of Gaming
When I was younger, around 6 or 7, I remember eagerly waking up early on weekends, sneaking downstairs to the family living room, quietly booting up my Nintendo GameCube or Sony PlayStation 2, and for a couple of hours just forgetting everything and indulging in the world of video games. I could play something for hours and never get bored; One hard level on Super Mario Sunshine?No big deal. Trying to complete all the missions in The Simpsons Hit and Run? Easy. I would play and play and play before my parents would finally awaken and boot me off to watch their weekend morning programs. Nowadays, in my rare moments of peace and solidarity, I might boot up my old faithful consoles for a quick game of Luigi's Mansion, but normally I can play for approximately 30 minutes before my mind wanders to my phone or my laptop, and I lose interest. This has nothing to do with the games I am playing, but rather I just can't find it in me anymore to sit and play for hours like I used to. Maybe that is just me, or maybe that is just growing up, but I still yearn for that feeling of gaming in the early hours of the morning, forgetting the world and just being indulged in my screen.

Overwatch Is a Mess

Awesome Saturn Exclusives: Import Shooters
Hello, and welcome back to Silver Linings where I find the best of the maligned and forgotten. It's been a while, but I'm returning to the much maligned Sega Saturn to spotlight some great exclusive games. I've already outlined some awesome platformers and RPGs that make investing in Sega's fifth-generation console a good move. However, there is an aspect to the Saturn that I'm surprised doesn't get more attention from gamers. That aspect is the fact that the Saturn is one of the most import-friendly consoles of the era.

The Ghost and the Switch
Accountability. Without it, my credibility as a writer and, dare I say, a journalist, is left with an aura of decay. That festering cloud will continue to rot and grow until I’m little more than a tabloid artist, spinning improbable tales for the bored and the unemployed. It’s not a future I want for myself, and so I aim to hold myself accountable for my actions, thoughts, and words.
