LARP - Beginners guide
Before I begin this tale of my first ever experience with LARP that the people I meet and took me under their wing. This is a story about the people I meet in the first instance being introduced to this hobby, not the brilliant people I now know. So please don't be offended.

Summer of Sims
I enjoy being able to relax and escape the reality and stress of my daily life. Reading books is my favorite past time of escaping to a new world within my head, but something I have also been doing for a long time but recently fully committed to in the past few year has been The Sims; more specifically, The Sims 4. I started TS4 on the PS4 because I go my PS4 as a bundle with a game, knowing that the only game I actually like in the selection was The Sims as I had played all the previous versions. Learning all the new features of this new version of my favorite game was an adventure because it had been a while since I had even played The Sims 3. Finally, getting the hang of playing this game, I spent hours upon hours of game play and working on my building skill, which is admittedly easier to do on the PC. Joining a Facebook group all about TS4 opened me up to the world of cheats, mods and custom content, though I couldn't have the mods or cc on my PS4, I was able to use the cheats; once I started using the cheats, there was no turning back, and I definitely tried.

Dungeons, Dragons and Deep Connections
I've always been invested in 'nerdy' hobbies. I collect comic books, I cosplay as my favourite characters and I play more games than most people I know; however I don't believe you have experienced the wonders of the nerds world until you have experienced at least one thrilling Dungeons & Dragons campaign.

The Dawn Ages
The Dawn Ages covers a period of time between -30,000 to -24,000DR The empires of the creator races begin to fade into memory and usher in the Time of Dragons and the Time of Giants. During this time, individual dragons and clans rule large swaths of territory and battle with their rivals for further control over land, sea and the skies, creating devastating warfare among the dragons of Faerûn, which leads to isolated pockets of former dragon territories falling under the control of giants. Over time, these giant-ruled kingdoms come to threaten the leadership of dragonkind.

With the third entry in the series being released only one year shy of a decade from its previous entry; it's time to look back at the game that started up the entire franchise itself. In Crackdown, you are no longer a regular video game consumer entering another sandbox experience. You are instead a dangerous superhuman vessel for the Agency, a shadowy corporation whose sole intent is to bring peace and protection to the citizens of Pacific City by any means necessary.

As a survivor, you are grouped with three other members who are also seeking refuge and freedom from the darkness and the entity it has taken control of in this shadowy realm.

First On The Block
I gripped my uncomfortably square NES controller in my sweaty child's hands and stared up at the screen in disbelief. Mike Tyson's unconscious cartoon avatar laid in the back of the screen, eyes closed. I had knocked him down three times; he wasn't getting back up. But still I just stared. Mario, clad in referee garb made an entrance from the right-hand side of the screen, paused for that maddening moment, and then raised his hand as a cartoon talking bubble appeared over his head, cementing the victory I'd been chasing for almost four months with three simple letters. TKO.
