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. Someone who is not knowledgeable about game design and mechanics often only serves me a very one-sided conversation which usually ends with my audience saying, “That sounds [...]

As we began to move [...]

As some of you may know from previous articles/podcasts, I’ll be embarking on an international adventure at the end of the summer. My wife, the perpetual ladder climber that she is, has accepted a really great position within her company, a position that requires us to move from Indianapolis, Indiana to Berlin, Germany for about 2 to 3 years. As great as this move will be for us (both financially and in reference to the experiences we’ll have) I had [...]

Gaming Regrets: It Took Zombies to Make Friends

Years ago, the name H21 was not a household name. As a matter of fact, it still isn’t. The point is not that I’m not famous (though I should be); the point is that beyond a few friends and my family, my H21 gamertag was unknown and nowhere to be found. I have been playing on the Xbox and Xbox 360 consoles for more than 6 years now, and it took until 2008 playing Left 4 Dead before I took the [...]
