What happened to 2D games in the 32-bit console generation?
And if you are reading this because of the title then it is proof that we still think the same way we did some years ago.
Gamification is the future of creativity, innovation, and education
You are 10 years old. You are out with your great-grandma and are super excited because your 4-year-old brother is there too, and maybe, just maybe, you’re going to get ice cream. But, all of a sudden, ice cream is out of the picture, as the car goes errant: your grandma has had a heart attack and has lost control of the vehicle.

If you’ve played enough Dungeons & Dragons (and you’re a nerd like me) then you’ve likely wondered at some point — What would my ability scores be as a D&D character? What class would I be? Alignment?
Mackenzie TittlePublished 2 months ago in GeeksJedi Fallen Order
So, before we get into this it’s best to deal with the massive elephant in the room first. I can’t stand dark souls, and I generally think these games are ruining a lot of franchises by conflating repetition with skill. For me, and a good number of others judging by what I’ve seen posted elsewhere, this makes for very, very boring games. I mention this now, because JFO has been described as having ‘souls’ mechanics (something else that bugs me, because it is far from being the first game where if you die you lose all your progress, but I digress). This made me hesitant to try the game, because as much as I have loved previous Star Wars games, that one detail has killed any enjoyment of a game for me before.
David HeymanPublished 2 months ago in GeeksMy First Time as a Dungeon Master
Dungeons and Dragons has always been one of my favorite things in the world. From studying the lore to watching live streams of others playing, even going as far as playing myself! I've created countless characters over the course of a couple years (thanks, quarantine!), each with their own backstory and unique features. If I were to place myself somewhere on the spectrum between newbie and a veteran player, I'd say I would be somewhere in the middle.

After writing my article on turning one of my favorite characters into a DND character, I was inspired to continue transforming Marvel characters into DND builds. Of course, I've decided to begin this pursuit by turning one of the most beloved Marvel teams into a DND party: The Avengers.
M.N. NegusPublished 2 months ago in GeeksWhy I Am Fine With Wordle
Wordle I have been avoiding Wordle for the same reason I avoided Led Zeppelin as a teenager, everybody was into them and I just didn’t want to be another face in the crowd. I suppose that is just the way I am , I seldom go with the flow which means i am often seen as weird or unconventional resulting in people being either frightened of me or shunning me.
Mike Singleton - MikeydredPublished 3 months ago in GeeksHow I Started Contemplating My Metaverse Avatar
When I was a child, I always wanted to be blonde. I had a feeling this hair color automatically makes your heart lighter, gets you more friends and gets you to become the life of the party. This association was created by a range of factors starting from Barbie dolls of my time being mostly fair-haired, Marylin Monroe iconic skirt performance, and up to a majority of comedy movies with blonde characters that seemed like easier and more approachable people. Silly stereotype reflecting how brainwashed media can get us. Now I am wearing a thick dark mahogany red hair color that is essentially black.
Oleksandra ZinevychPublished 4 months ago in GeeksRanking 'Madden Face of the Franchise' Games
Over the years, the Madden games have been rightfully accused of being rather cookie cutter. Single player "franchise mode" has been seen as little more than a roster update, with a few small changes here and there. On the whole though, it's followed the "college textbook" approach; a few small changes, but still charging at least sixty bucks for the "new one" every year. They get basic graphic updates as well, but barely enough to notice.
Culture SlatePublished 4 months ago in GeeksLoyal Gamestop Customer
December 29, 2021: I'm not supposed to be here. Driving to my local Gamestop was not a part of my route today. I promised Mom that I would go to the grocery store. That was it.
Ronnie GonzalezPublished 5 months ago in GeeksFortnite: The Good, The Bad and The Ugly.
Fortnite, one of the most played games in the whole entire world, aimed mostly at wee kids, or unless you're a streamer. Not like there's anything wrong for fully grown adults playing it. As after all, I'm 28 years old. Ok now what is good about the game? The main good thing about the game is the wide selection of firearms, ranging from carbine, snipers, shotguns, assault rifles, handguns, rocket launchers and ect. There's a wide range of costumes you can dress your characters. The costumes are very wide range of colours, although you will need a lot of V Bucks (game currency) and even then that isn't that cheap. The other thing to say is how simple it is to play whilst destroying other players and no I'm not a pro, just a semi professional if you will. I can quite honestly sink a lot of hours into the game, if I so chose to because it is a lot of fun still, after the constant updates ever since it first launched. I honestly didn't see the appeal back then.
