Everything is busy but it’s fine.
The past few days have been a blur of Urgent Care and Emergency Room visits followed by crashes of exhaustion. Nothing was ever life threatening, but my wife was extremely uncomfortable. We wanted to make absolutely sure that it wasn’t a heart attack or anything potentially dangerous so we went and everyone’s fine. However in all that excitement I just plainly forgot to plan anything for an article for today. Now I won’t lie and say I typically spend weeks researching the articles I write. I do my best to be as honest and entertaining as I can, but I am a procrastinator and I’m no genius. If anything my brain cells look like this trying to shape ideas that have long since dissolved:
My brain is empty and devoid of wrinkles. So… In lieu of an article, I will leave you with a discussion prompt: What is your favorite game in a genre that you typically don’t care for? For instance, I don’t typically care for racing games but the game Split Second is a classic that never gets old for me. It has a lot in common with many Kart racers but feels more sleek and fast.
Please forgive me for my lack of planning. Next week I’ll have a longer article summing up my thoughts on Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 since I just finished 100%ing it and have a lot of (mostly positive) things to say.

The Opportunity Crunch
No, brutal, soul-sucking, marriage-destroying crunch mode in game development isn't a privilege or an opportunity. It's idiocy.
Batman: Arkham City
A look back at one of my favorite games. The gameplay was stellar, but the underlying story was clumsy and oddly constructed.
