Don’t Be That Guy: Debunking the Myths of a Sega Fanboy

I’ll admit that I’m a huge Sega fan boy. The Master System was my first console and I have fonder memories of the Genesis and Dreamcast than the SNES and Nintendo 64. I’m also a fairly intelligent human being that has never let such bias get in the way of reality and the reality is my nostalgia for Sega products will never bring back the good ol’ days nor will it cloud my perception. The relationship between Sega and me [...]

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 [...]

The only hobby of mine while growing up that rivaled my passion for video games was my passion for sports. I played as many sports as possible and my love for competition was what kept my gamer friends and I close during the offseasons. Looking back, I’m not sure if I was more addicted to video games or real life games as much as I was just addicted to trying to win. However, as high school ended I realized that [...]

Games of Shame: Let Me Explain

I’m a huge supporter of video games pushing the boundaries of humor, drama and horror, as there is time and a place for just about anything. However, with my video games being in a centralized location in my home, those boundaries do not necessarily need to be pushed when small children are running around. I take pride in being very conscious of what games I play when I’m around the young and impressionable. So much so that, when the kids [...]

Gaming Crushes: Game Character Fantasies are Dangerous

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 [...]
