What Kind of Gamer Are You? The Answer May Surprise You!
Put a group of gamers in the same room and have them all play the same game, and you may (or may not) be surprised to find that they're not all playing that game the same way. Some of them might be more focused on battling hordes of enemies. Others might be more into exploring every corner of the available map. Others still might be trying to figure out how to get some rare and elusive achievement.
Peaceful Gaming - Why so many choose serenity over stress when it comes to video games
Imagine this… After a long day at work, school, or even both, you've returned home, and now it's time to unwind and relax. You grab a warm drink and pick up your Switch to load up Zelda: BOTW as you get comfortable in a beanbag. This is very relatable and the spark for this article was the release of "Bear and Breakfast" on the 28th of July, 2022 and two days in it's all over Youtube and Instagram (keep in mind I don't follow many gaming channels). Currently, it's hard to find stats on downloads and users as the game has just been released but with 90% of 205 current reviews being positive/very positive on Steam, it can only mean good things. It got me thinking about the explosion of cute and cozy games that have been popping up all over the place.
The Dead by Daylight Experience
Over the years, Behaviour Interactive's worldwide success, Dead by Daylight, swept the gaming market with riveting gameplay, player-versus-player experience, and compelling survivors and killers.

Wii Remember, Do U?
On November 19, 2006, the world changed forever. On November 18, 2012, the world changed a whole lot less. Today, I’ll be talking about the history of what these two dates brought. The Wii, and its unfortunate cousin, the Wii U. Let’s-a-go!
Josh LawrencePublished 2 years ago in GamersHow To Get Every Iconic Weapon In Cyberpunk 2077 Part 1: Blades
Cyberpunk 2077 is one of those games that has defined modern gaming - its immersive environments, realistic and lovable cast, and intense themes of death, personhood, and legacy firmly place it in the category of modern masterpiece. Despite its rocky start upon initial release, the game has a wealth of interesting mechanics, immersive story missions, and hidden secrets for players to explore and enjoy, making Night City feel like more than a simple background for a video game.

On June 10th Supermassive Games and 2K introduced us to a new narrative experience that gave the ability to decide who lives and who dies. The Quarry is a new stand alone game and is second to Until Dawn that was released in 2015. It follows the story of a group of counselors spending their last night together at Hackett's Quarry Summer Camp before going home, but as the night goes on one by one, each character goes missing and something is hunting them down...and its up to us to uncover the mystery.
Charna SansonPublished 2 years ago in GamersThe Evolution of a Female Gamer
When I was a kid, I was one of the very few girls who played video games. It wasn’t something that girls did back in the 1980s. Little girls were supposed to play with Barbies and baby dolls. They were supposed to play dress up and pretend to be wives and mothers, I guess in preparation for their adult lives. While I did play with my Barbies on occasion, usually with my cousins, I didn’t pretend Barbie was dating Ken or was always dressing up for parties. Barbie had real issues to deal with in her life. My Ken was often a murderer and Barbie had to solve the crime before the other Barbies were victims. Sometimes Barbie’s life was normal, but most of the time I preferred to play with Star Wars action figures, Legos, and Hot Wheels because there was more action to them. As the gaming industry began to develop, I started to shift to more video games. I was unknowingly laying the foundations of becoming a gamer.

Even if you aren't a video game connoisseur, you still might recognize the loveable red plumber, Mario. That's probably because Mario is the face and namesake of the best-selling video game franchise of all time (over 750 million copies of games sold) that has extended into tv shows, feature films, comic books, and theme park attractions.
Let Kids Play Videogames!
Previously, being creative was associated with either crazy (the mad scientist), money, or insane brilliance. But this doesn't appear to be the case any longer, does it? It's also not a particularly democratic approach to process and invention.
Asterion AvocadoPublished 2 years ago in GamersA Mom's Guide to Playing Fortnite With Your Kids
My name is Laura, and I'm 38 years old with two beautiful children. I'm a Fortnite player. It can be strange to say that I play a video game that is popular with tweens and teenagers. But I enjoy it for the same reasons others do: it's a strong shooter with unique gameplay mechanics and many opportunities to grow. It can also be a lot of fun to play with your kids if they already play or want to start.
Laura SemplePublished 2 years ago in GamersWho's Behind 'Ghostbusters: Spirits Unleashed'?
Who ya gonna call? It’s been over 30 years since we first heard that iconic phrase in pop culture, and, from year to year, the answer has remained the same. Ghostbusters may have been an 80s film, it’s popularity bleeding into the early 90s thanks to Saturday morning cartoons, but it’s impossible to deny the staying power of the boys in gray. Especially as we’re on the cusp of a reemergence of the franchise, launched by a recent sequel that helped reboot the series and an upcoming video game release that pulls from the ongoing canonical universe.
Mark LoProtoPublished 2 years ago in GamersThe Self and Psychology in Videogames and NFTs
Even in what we refer to as IRL (in real life), we may not fully comprehend the intricacy of our own selves and identities. We do, however, express our self by extending it to our belongings. Clothing, hobbies, furnishings, and photographs all contribute to our sense of self-identity and help us keep track of it.
