Scariest Video Game Enemies
Video games created with storylines, unfortunately, come to an end point once completing the game, but what is it that makes these games so difficult and entertaining? Beating the evil enemies, or "bosses" if you will create disruption in your path to beating the game. As games go on, your enemies get larger, stronger, and scarier. Whether they are giant monsters, disease-ridden creatures, or some disgusting mutant that was once a person just like us, you do not want to cross their paths. Well too bad because these games are designed for you to come across these enemies at any given time. Let's take a look at the scariest video game enemies.

Surprisingly Good, Cheap Mechanical Keyboards.
Have you ever been over to a fellow gamer's house, maybe in your early introduction to the world of quality hardware, and marvelled at the technology he (or she) had? Maybe you were entranced by the RGB-everything, or the curved 21:9 monitor, or the insane level of silence his water-cooling system could achieve. Or, what about his keyboard? Did you think of that? Ya know, the one with the fancy Cherry MX Blues in it that went all "clickety-clackety? Yeah. That one. Besides its silky smooth response and its satisfying sound, what was so special about it? Probably the fact that it was about $200.

A Brief History of 'Armored Core'
Armored Core! Armored Core. Armored Core… You’re so awesome. Then sometimes you’re so what the flying frick it’s ridiculous. And it literally makes me scream sometimes because you have such potential, and you’ve shown it, to be the genre-defining mecha video game. I mean, you might be. To me you certainly are. But you have Mech Assault, Chromehounds, Titanfall, Hawken, a slew of Gundam games, and more, and even though you try your best, sometimes you’re mentioned with those names as opposed to prefacing them so often by reviewers and players alike.

Why Games Should Never Be P/C
There's been a flicker of controversy around Stardew Valley, the Life Sim / RPG farming game by Eric “ConcernedApe” Barone. It concerns a guinea pig and his treatment. One of the NPCs has a pet guinea pig who is, apparently, being kept in substandard conditions for the animal's needs.

I Am Alive (Emotionally) Because of the Game Grumps
I have been following the Game Grumps since just after their inception back in the day. My sister came up to me one day and was like, and this is not a direct quote, "These guys are cool. They're very funny. You should watch them." I did, religiously, every day for the last five years. Well, I tried to at least. Some days were harder than others. We all have times that are trying, that test our will to get up in the morning, and over the past two years, I've had a few.

You Should Introduce Your Kids to D&D and Here's Why
For some, a tabletop RPG is more than a game. It's a world, not entirely separate from our own, that lives and breathes, that has rules and consequences, and that affects how some of us live our real lives.

The Fireborn's Will - Tale of the Sunsinger
The snow fell upon the rocks overlooking the lake, the water lapping against the rocks below. The sparse vegetation was a vibrant green, swaying in the breeze. This far north (and in times like these) it was a miracle that anything survived at all.
