Went to my First Video Game Concert
As a longtime gamer, one of my bucket list items was to attend a video game concert. I’ve always loved watching clips of grand orchestras on YouTube performing some of the most famous and memorable melodies in video gaming history. So the chance to attend a gaming-themed musical event in San Diego, California was just too good to pass up in early December. While it didn’t have an orchestra, the intimate candlelight concert did feature the talented musicians of the “Velveteen Ensemble” as they played some familiar pieces to the delight of the audience inside of the Chapel at Liberty Station. Unfortunately, because I was not prepared to do a post on this initially, I did not obtain photos of the musicians in action. Once the concert began, I was too busy enjoying the event.

Tales of Arise was the Best Game I Played in 2021
You never know what can happen over the course of a year. When I played Hitman 3 last spring, I strongly believed I was possibly experiencing the best game of 2021 at that point. I had never played a Hitman game before so I was completely blown away when I witnessed its depth, fantastic set pieces, and variety of ways it allowed the player to carry out the game’s assassination missions. It was my front runner for a couple of months until I got my hands on Scarlet Nexus. Being a science-fiction RPG with an anime art style, time-travel element, and a combat system that allowed you to utilize objects within the environment as part of your attacks, I was ready to replace Hitman 3 as my pick for 2021 Game of the Year. But then Tales of Arise arrived just months later and everything changed again. Continue Reading

R.I.P. John Madden – The Gaming Community Will Miss You
The longer you live, the inevitable part of life that you will become very acquainted with is the death of other people. We read and hear about the death of others in the news daily. But it starts to hit home when you see family members, friends, and other people you’ve known personally passing away. It is rough. My father died more than two years ago and I still feel the effects of it. I dream of him often and still think of him every day. It seems like death is hitting closer to home more and more these days. If it isn’t a family member or friend, then it is somebody connected to someone you know or maybe a person you never met in person that had some sort of impact on your life. As a person who grew up loving sports and video games, John Madden was the latter. For me, his death last week symbolized the end of an era. Continue Reading
