Welcome to the Video Gaming Portal
Hello and welcome to the site where you will find a wealth of video gaming information and resources that are just clicks away. What this website represents is my knowledge and experience I’ve gained from more than 35 years of gaming. From the old school arcades and the Atari 2600 to the PC and the Nintendo Switch I play on today, I have enjoyed gaming ever since I first experienced it in the early 1980s. This love continues to endure to this day. Continue Reading
I LOVE GAMING BUT DESPISE THE INDUSTRY
A picture is worth a thousand words, and this AI-generated image above is an appropriate representation of what is wrong with the gaming industry today. I have been a gamer my whole life. There is no doubt that I will play video games as long as I have the ability to do so. But this year has been different for me as it pertains to the gaming industry. While being as lucrative as possible should be what any business strives for, there is such a lack of ethics involved in many of today’s gaming companies that it has led me to question just how much I should continue supporting the industry going forward.

Some Encouraging News and What I’ve Been Playing
Hello everyone. I’m doing significantly better than I was the last time I posted months ago. My oncologist revealed that my most recent PET scan results taken last Saturday show that all of my markers have decreased (showing less cancer) since my last scan in February. My plan to overcome and put my cancer into remission is still in full effect. Thanks to all of you who have prayed or sent good thoughts my way over the past several months. Continue Reading
Merry Christmas and an Update on My Real Life Battle
First of all, I want to wish everyone a Merry Christmas. I hope that no matter where you are, as you are reading this post, you are able to have a great day with your family and loved ones. There seems to be a lot of turmoil going on in the world, but even in the midst of that, I hope today is one that is filled with laughter and memorable moments.
So where in the world have I been all this time? This year has been something else. Just when I thought I was working through the health issues I had earlier in the year, a huge bomb was dropped on me in early September. I was diagnosed with Stage 4 non-small cell lung cancer. Continue Reading
The Game That Makes Me Glad to Own a PS5
Had it not been for receiving a PlayStation 5 as a gift for my birthday this year, I may have still been without the system even up to this point. Big thanks to my older brother for bestowing such a great present to me back in May. Since then, my PlayStation experience is now home to the PS5. The process of transferring my PS4 games and saves was very easy. It’s great to see the PS4 games load faster and look better in some cases without any upgrades. I’m extremely thrilled with the PS5. Recently, I finished the game that almost made me purchase a PS5 in the first place: Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart. Continue Reading
Two Years and Counting: TVGA Blog Update
It has been an interesting year so far. But with much of the health issues from earlier this year behind me, I’m looking forward to getting back into the thick of things again on the blog. Yet it will be in a different way. As I was recovering, I enjoyed gaming without content creation being in the back of my mind. I have to admit that it has been nice. At the same time, I’ve missed posting here and on the TVGA YouTube Channel. So after much thought, I came to a compromise where instead of adhering to a certain schedule and number of posts I’m trying to achieve each month, I would post when I feel led to as I’m easing my way back into this.
