The Divine Pokemon Comedy: My Backup Pokemon Champion Team
A few months ago I published an article that detailed the Pokemon team I would use if I were Pokemon Champion, the truth is there was another team I was also contemplating but ultimately went with the Fairy-Tale themed team.

Your Brain on 'Animal Crossing'. Top Story - May 2019.
Content Warning: Depression, anxiety, and mental health. Video games have always been under scrutiny when talking about the player's health, more specifically the mental and social "toll" of spending time in virtual worlds. Scientific research revolving around adolescents behavior while "being on Video Games" (known as IAD, Internet Addiction Disorder) started way back in the 1980s in papers such as "Media violence and the self: The impact of personalized gaming characters in aggressive video games on aggressive behavior." (Journal of Experimental Social Psychology 137)Since then, the stigma of people who enjoy passing their free time with video games has not lightened. YouTube is stuffed full of clips of aggressively toxic behavior on online platforms, even frustration with single player games that do not have social interaction. These montages are usually publicly posted in a humorous light, or to shame a player for saying things that are morally unacceptable. Granted, denying the toxicity in the gaming community is pure blissful ignorance, despite the best efforts of gaming developers. An example of a gaming company trying to force the metaphorical chill pill down its player's throats is Blizzard's Overwatch 1.25 update, which adds an endorsement system for positive interaction with teammates.

A Fairy Tale: My 'Pokemon' Champion Team
I have been playing Pokemon since the beginning, my sisters still lament how I would "take over the tv each day to watch Pokemon." Guilty as charged on that one, I was completely enthralled by the series and followed it closely for many years. After playing Ruby and Sapphire, I began taking breaks before returning to play through the new generations that were released.

What the 'Link's Awakening' Remake Means for the Future of Zelda
I'm really excited for the Nintendo Switch remake of TheLegend of Zelda: Link's Awakening. First of all, I have not played the original Link's Awakening, so this is the perfect time for me to give it a shot.

Goodbye Pokémon
For most of my life, there have been few things as consistent as my gaming habits, and among those, Pokémon has been one of my most played games.

'Metroid: Samus Returns' Review
The Metroid franchise is one that Nintendo doesn’t quite seem to understand. There is an incredible consistency of quality throughout the entire series, save for a small handful of games fans don’t want to talk about, but in terms of the mainline 2D series and the Prime trilogy, there’s a stellar presence that could honestly put Mario and Zelda to shame. Metroid is one of the black sheep franchises Nintendo has, and they have difficulty marketing each game with increasingly less than ideal sales since Prime 2, so they unfortunately have repeatedly had to put the franchise on the shelf for a while. Thankfully, in full force, Nintendo has a new Prime game on its way and now a new 2D entry to give the constantly salivating fanbase.

'Pokemon Ranger: Shadows of Almia'
After around a year of my 3DS being broken, I finally got my hands on a working one. Going through my games, I figured I’d do another run through of the classic DS title Pokemon Ranger: Shadows of Almia. Did I regret it? Not even a little bit.

What Pokémon Might We Meet in the Galar Region?
Pokémon fans have been ecstatic since the Pokémon Company release the info on generation eight from the Pokéball. The new games 'Pokémon Sword' and 'Pokémon Shield' are set in the new region of Galar, which has been strongly based on the UK. This is pretty standard in Pokémon as the first four regions were set on parts of Japan, Unova was based on New York, Kalos off of France and Alola used Hawaii. Along with this information on the region, the new starter Pokémon were revealed and two make clear sense for a UK themed region, but one is odd.

The Evolution of 'Mario Kart'
Mario Kart is a game we all know and love, and with the latest release of the game Mario Kart 8 Deluxe selling just under 10 million copies, it is safe to say that this classic game is still much adored by gamers around the globe. Despite the popularity of the game, not everyone is aware of the long history that this game has and how much it has changed since the initial release back in 1992. Let's take a trip back in time, or as Mario would say, Lets-a-go!
