An Exploration Of Depression, Indie Games And The Brilliance Of Sonzai
I rarely get hyped for a game these days. Save for the upcoming Biomutant and Kena: Bridge of Spirits, there’s nothing that I’m overcome with glee for. For as long as I can remember, there has been desperation within me that demands I get hyped for something. When I was younger, it came to me…

I’ve always found RPGs to be a superior form of escapism because they can easily reach beyond the typical power fantasy.

The Psychology Behind a Video Game Backlog
When I was a child I went with my mother to the supermarket to get some dessert. When we arrived the man behind the counter asked me what it was that I wanted. I gazed at all the delicious, mouth-watering goodies displayed along the seemingly endless counter and when I had finally finished perusing, I…
