Let me begin by saying I’m not into shooters. I’ve played my fair share of Goldeneye and Halo over the past 2 decades, but first person shooters have never been at the core of my interest nor have I ever been skilled enough to truly...
I was a kid of the 1990s. Born in 1986 I only remember a slight taste of the end of the 1980s, so calling myself an 80s kid has always felt wrong. I loved (and still do), Ghostbusters and TMNT, but I was a little...
Let’s take a trip back to the 1990s shall we? Everyone was wearing flannel, listening to grunge, and trying to figure out how to get rid of the 1980s. The early 1990s garnered a strange cultural response to the bright neon and bubblegum pop of...
