I’m a gamer. Therefore, I’m an adventurer at heart and cannot be tied down to any one game – or love interest. During my travels to various exotic worlds and stories, I often found myself romantically involved with a partner which, at the time, was often a beautiful relationship, but was never destined to last forever. However, it’s a vital part to the story that adds dynamic character development which was unheard of in the games of our past, yet [...]
I’m almost sorry I’m not around to see Justin L.’s reaction when he sees me explaining that, in secret, I have a crush on RPGs and quite a few of them are bad RPGs. You see, over the years, I’ve casually spurned the well-received RPG powerhouses from Square Enix and Sierra and even the RPG/action mix of the Kingdom Hearts games wasn’t enough to get my attention (I just can’t get past Cloud’s stupid hair). To be completely honest, with the exception [...]
Never judge a book by its cover and never judge a game by the cover art. My initial opinions on Kingdom Hearts were 100% wrong. I thought the game would be corny and only kid friendly. My experiences with Kingdom Hearts have grown into a very tumultuous love affair. Throughout February, Horrible Night will be featuring articles on Gaming Crushes A Love Letter Game Character Fantasies are Dangerous Podcast: Will They or Won’t They?

Sure, I grew up as a huge fan of adventure games. There is no doubt that The Secret of Monkey Island shaped my love and appreciation of video games as an entertainment medium. Regardless of any of my nostalgic history with the roots of Tim Schafer and his team at Double Fine, being witness to their recent successes of has made me respect what they are doing to ensure the future of their company. It just so happens that in [...]
So you see this girl across the room. She’s beautiful, mysterious, and she’s motioning you over. It could go any direction from here, but right now you think you know everything you need to, right? Wrong! It’s not every day that I bring up my dating history on a gaming website, but there are a couple of relationships I’ve had that I think are worthy of noting here, for the sake of some of my own back-story. Throughout February, Horrible [...]

Society is full of a bunch of strange crap, but nothing makes me fear for humanity more than the weird stuff that people are attracted to. Just take a stroll through the red light district of the internet and you’ll find a fetish for everything. From grown men in diapers and life-size cribs to the mysteriously screwed up world of “Furries”, it’s amazing that new ideas for sexual gratification are still being thought up. While disturbing, these are just examples [...]
Dear Hero, I believe in love at first sight. Not only has it happened in my real life, it happened the first time I saw you. Though you were just a few pixels on a small TV screen, I knew that I had found a lifelong companion. Even though you were older than me, I had no problem waiting. This wasn’t just a school boy crush. This was love. It wasn’t about looks, because I couldn’t see more than a [...]
