The "No Zombies" Playlist
Hello, and welcome back to Silver Linings where I find the best and weed out the worst. Halloween is my favorite time of the year. I get the perfect excuse to dig out the monster movies and games (like I really need an excuse considering I already coveredtwo horror movies last month). They eat up the entire month of October for my girlfriend and me, and I wouldn't have it any other way!

5 Tips for Playing Better Fighters
Fighters. They're one of the most straightforward classes in fantasy RPGs. If you're not sure who the fighter is, just look for the guy with a sword in one hand and a shield in the other, barking orders and taking the battle to the monsters. While that image is iconic, it also misses a lot of the potential of the class. Worse, the stereotypical fighter is a character with no background (and no interests) off the battlefield. For all intents and purposes, the party may as well be traveling with an enchanted suit of plate armor that rolls initiative from time to time.

Being a Gamer Girl
As I look over at my soon to be husband I think to myself how lucky I am to have him in my life and at the same time how hard it sometimes can be. He loves to play games and sometimes a little too much. As his wife I would love to have all of the attention and most of the time I get it. But when he plays games he also has headphones in listening to YouTube videos. So being the soft spoken person I am, it is sometimes hard for him to hear me. I know he is trying and I can tell he loves me with all his heart because the other night I wanted to do a puzzle. So I sat at the table doing it and for two hours he sat with me trying to help even though he is bad at it. When I first meet him, I did not play very many video games but now I have learned that is what we have in common. We bond over the things we love to do together. He loves seeing me so happy and it's the same with me. We would do anything to make each other happy, and that is what is so wonderful about our relationship. I will play games with him and he will cook or do puzzles with me. We are also both very competitive. I love playing Overwatch. He can can kick my butt most of the time. But when I do win, I love how he makes it such a big deal. It makes me so proud. Being a gamer girl in a relationship is learning to have fun and not take things so seriously. I mean come on, it is just a game. Last night for three hours he sat in the living room and played Monopoly with me until we both finally gave up, laughing until our hearts were content. Never giving up on each other is what we live for. And I honestly can't wait to marry one of THE most wonderful people in the world. For better for for worse no matter how many games I loose I will always love him!!

Best Video Game Journalists Who Know Their Stuff
Video games have had critics from around the time "Pong" was created in the 1970s to right now. Journalism is important — it helps gamers decide which games are worth buying and which games are worth leaving on the shelf. It helps gamers who bought the game look at the in-game problems more analytically, and solve issues if they are stuck. Journalists are a gamers best friend, because they explore game design, play, and culture. Finally, it helps the gaming industry grow as a whole: labelling the guts of a game as either "good" or "bad" so that next year's games can be better.
