Violence in Video Games
I wasn't always into video games when I was a youngster, but when I got older, as I started playing them for the first time, then I saw how addicting it could be, even frustrating as well. I would soon realize that I would go from being competitive to aggressive. In those moments, it felt very stressful. Every time I get stuck or lose on a level, I would go from throwing the game controller at the TV or hitting myself with the controller, which ended up hurting me a lot.

Hit Series 'Critical Role' Releases Fan Art Book
If you even have a passing interest in Dungeons & Dragons then you may have heard of the series Critical Role. It's a live, multi-platform role playing show featuring Dungeon Master Matthew Mercer (Overwatch) and Vox Machina, a troupe of voice actors including Ashley Johnson (The Last of Us) who've worked on multiple nerd related projects. The show's engaging, funny, and Mercer makes for a very good Dungeon Master. So much so that people have been hooked ever since Geek & Sundry rolled out their first episode on YouTube way back in 2015. The premise back then was pretty simple, watch a bunch of nerds play Dungeons & Dragons. But it was much more than that. The stories they were telling together were compelling and it was just fun watching friends interact with each other while playing a classic tabletop game.

Is 'Overwatch' Overly Competitive?
I remember when the Overwatch Beta first released for consoles openly and I downloaded it. It was a blast, as a huge TF2 Fan (which many people say is Overwatch is a total rip-off of, which is a different topic for a different day), playing as all of the different characters, finding the little niche playstyles you needed to adapt to with the characters and how they work with and against other players, via ultimate combos and cancels/reversals. But as I've now played for over a year now and have recently taken a break (specifically this competitive season, which started around the same time as the Halloween Update 2017), I've come to appreciate taking a step away from the competitive side of Overwatch.

Classic Inspiration
Classic stories are considered classic because they present a universal moral that can be applicable in a wide array of different media. They can be retold in several different ways, and often are. I want to investigate how literature can inspire the narrative of role playing games.

5 Horror Game Clichés I Wish Game Developers Would Stop Using
SPOILER WARNINGS: Silent Hill: Downpour, Silent Hill 2, Outlast 2, Resident Evil 6, The Evil Within, The Evil Within 2 A trope is defined by good ole TVTropes.org as "more about conveying a concept to the audience without needing to spell out all the details." However, the very concept of a trope couldn't have been named without cliché. Clichéd concepts within media, such as video games, have been happening since their inception. Heck, Nintendo makes their billions with one of the most famous cliché characters of all time, but Mario is very much an icon of the culture of gaming.
