Games of Shame: Call of Duty

There are few other games that spark such an intense burning argument of indifference than the Call of Duty franchise. Oddly enough, I have less difficulty explaining the things I like and dislike about Call of Duty with people who don’t play video games versus some who happen to love games. I find that sad.

Every time you pretend gaming, or the game industry, doesn’t matter, you’re putting on blinders and living in another world. I have a love/hate relationship with Facebook. I came across an Instagram photo, taken by an acquaintance, of an ad ran by our good friends at Net Heads titled Video Game Summer Camp. The caption of this photo said, “Something is wrong with this picture.” Writer’s Note: While traditionally I don’t like to rant, I felt compelled to make the [...]
