  I have posted in a few other posts in the past about video games, books, and other media.  In this blog post, I follow this theme with my praise towards the man pictured above. Michael McConnohie has voiced such an insane number of characters that I grew up loving that I could write a blog post just listing them

My Strange Strange Relationship with Blizzard Entertainment

Admin/ August 6, 2015/ Video Games

  I have spent an incredible amount of time playing Blizzard Games.  I payed Brood War quite a bit in early high school which transitioned to me playing World of Warcraft and then back peddling to the Warcraft RTS games. After spending an obscene amount of my life (all of High School and Half of College) on World of Warcraft,

Honoring Satoru Iwata

Admin/ July 13, 2015/ Video Games

It would be an understatement for me to say that Nintendo has been a definitive part of my entire life.  Many of the video games produced by this company have become staples within my home.  Others which were co created with other video game companies (such as Final Fantasy 6) are among my favorite games of all time. Thus it

Twitchtv

Admin/ July 9, 2015/ Video Games

  Many of you may not be familiar with the website listed above, but this is a place where many video gamers showcase their abilities and for the more talented one, they gain spectators.   The most talented (and persuasive) can even make some money with this.  Professional Streamers gain donations from fans and can also set up subscription plans

Trying League Yet Again

Admin/ June 6, 2015/ Video Games

  MOBAS are an unusual game.  People spends hours day after day getting better at the games but they also must contend with teammates who may or may not also be doing the same thing.  This of course as the games have become famous for at this point, leads to toxic gaming communities. As a result of this negativity, I

Hollow Bastion

Admin/ May 22, 2015/ Video Games

    There are levels in video games that make you cry in frustration, there are others that are boring and that are easily forgotten.  Then there are places that are so majestic and filled with such excellent story telling, that they create unforgettable memories and in even more extreme cases, create the means for even greater inspiration.   Hollow

That One Boss

Admin/ May 15, 2015/ Video Games

    Anyone who has played a video game has encountered this boss.  One that you attempt again and again (and again) and yet still fail to beat them.  Next you go on the internet to see if there is some strategy you are missing out on.   Once you get there, instead of solutions, you find other gamers wondering

Final Fantasy VII: The Ignored Lesson

Admin/ May 11, 2015/ Political, Video Games

  Final Fantasy VI is without a doubt my favorite video game and while the game before the one I am blogging about today (that is not a typo, 6, not 7, is my favorite video game of all time) has a significantly higher amount of lessons to be gained about the universe and the meaning of life at large,

Gilgamesh

Admin/ May 5, 2015/ Video Games

  Yes THAT Gilgamesh and not the one that was written many many years ago about a very very different character.  Whether he is clashing heroes on big bridges, running around with a multitude of weapons that may or may not belong to him, or making crude jokes about women who dress like men, He is certainly among my favorite

The Giant Space Flea From Nowhere

Admin/ April 23, 2015/ Books, Video Games

  Anyone who has played a video game quickly pictured one of these bosses the moment they read the title of the blog post.  The Giant Space Flea from no where is normally a sign of poor game design where the creators knew they needed a boss fight as is normal in video games as you approach the end of
