So 2017, much like my own life, is half over. But it’s our own fault. We’re both irresponsibly anti-exercise and our diets consist largely of sugar. But don’t feel bad for us. Our existences thus far have been full of amazing video game experiences, and actually all that sugar-digesting and non-movement have probably contributed to […]

I don’t collect games, so the pick-up video genre is largely beyond me. But when I travel, I make a point to visit the local game stores. And rather than fill my suitcase with knick knack souvenirs that will only gather dust I bring home video games. I visited The Video Game Dungeon at the […]
