Video Games: A Cure or a Death Sentence?
If, like me, you had ranting and raving parents who looked down on those little virtual characters when you were younger, then join the club. Because, honestly, I can't tell you how many times I've heard things like, "Oh, your eyes'll go square if you play much longer," or, "You'll resort to a life of violence if you play that one!"

A Non-Gamer's Thoughts on Gaming
When it comes to video games, I'm a complete novice. I've dabbled in League of Legends and Wii Sports, but that's about the extent of what I've played. I grew up being told that games would melt my brain and would make me violent, and was kept away from them as a result. Any gaming system I had came with a lot of rules and time restrictions.

The Dark Story Behind 'Psychonauts'
To every passionate gamer, the name Psychonauts should ring a bell. Everything started back in 1993 when Tim Schafer was developing Full Throttle with the studio LucasArts. Schafer imagined a scene where Ben, the protagonist, goes under a peyote-induced psychedelic experience, but the idea was discarded from the game because it was not family-friendly enough. He kept it anyway and developed it into Psychonauts while still working for LucasArts.

Hero of EA Play
What Happened at EA play: "The Hero of EA Play" #EA #EAgames #Mixer #EAplay #gamerblog #progamer #fbstories The day started like any other. I woke up early with a raging thirst and an unmistakable raging boner for nothing other than video games. I had planned to wake up earlier, but my lack of money, limited travel ability (due to my van being out of gas), and the general dislike of the crazy guys still following me was weighing down on my every move. So, in light of all of these hindrances, I grabbed wood; my trusty skateboard,"Plan B-Destroy," and rode as fast as I could to the actual event.

Reason First: Should Electronic Gaming Be a Mental Illness?
For all of those CallofDuty (CoD) and WorldofWarcraft (WoW) junkies out there, you might be facing a problem other than advancing to the next digital stage: Mental health. The World Health Organization has decided that gaming electronically may be classified as a psychological disorder. What this means for the millions of gamers who obsess over their various consoles, platforms, and systems is that they are exhibiting behavior akin to obsessive compulsive disorder and schizophrenia.

Business Analysis: GameStop
GameStop sells physical products in physical stores, but those physical products don’t need to be sold in stores. Video games and video game related products (like gaming consoles, controllers, stickers, books, etc.) don’t need to be tried on in a store like a pair of pants. Customers can accomplish the same tasks completely online.

Just Stories?
We have always told stories from the same place , from a desire to share.
