A short time after the last post, I took a short leave of absence from writing. A lot of things happened in my life, I had to change things for the better, and I refocused on the things that I could use to improve myself. Regrettably, Writing About Video Games was not one of them. Said […]
Ah yes, September. This year was a sort of milestone, as the PlayStation brand hit its 15th year in the United States. As a result, I was tapped for a thrilling historical retrospective of the game dynasty that was Sony. Format-wise, it was a bit gimmicky and a bit easier to work: 45 entries, 15 […]

So I did the honorable thing, left a voicemail: “Thank you for the congratulatory letter. My mother always said I […]
Five years. For five years, I had worked with the fine people at Gaming-Age.com. Starting with a pair of reviews due to current Shacknews editor Chris Faylor’s distaste for mediocre games (Tak 2 and Duel Masters), I found myself winding down a road that hasn’t yet found its end. I met the man who first designed […]
