Counter Gaming: The Game Industry Needs Focus

Doombringers and naysayers are littering the forums and game journalism resources because no one really knows what’s going to become of the game industry. It seems the majority is focusing on what publishers, developers, media sources, and even gamers are doing wrong to prevent the game industry from creating stability and a welcoming consumer environment.

Maybe they were the cleaning supplies that my mother didn’t really care for or perhaps the bright stickers were meant [...]

One of the first movies I remember watching as a child was Terminator, a sweet tale where a time traveling man-bot comes to the present to murder the mother of a future resistance leader. Despite maybe being a bit too young to watch Arnold Schwarzenegger murder his way through dozens of people, I learned a very valuable lesson; robots are not to be trusted. I’ve held on to this sentiment for the last 28 years of my life, never quite warming [...]
