    Make your own game

    Oh my, which one to choose? 1: A game that blends the random open world of Minecraft with elements of fantasy RPGs. There's no story except the one you create yourself. You can be anything from a simple farmer growing your own crops and selling the at the market to a magical warrior slaying...

    A short treatise on open worlds: Or, one of the few ways Skyrim fails

    - Worlds are random assortments of stuff. It makes no difference to the world if you go into a cave and find a chest instead of a barrel or vice-verse. It makes no difference to the world if you find, inside that container, a sword instead of a shield. A world doesn't become any less of a world...

    Jimquisition: Fake Nerd Girls

    I never asked to be a nerd. That label was placed on me against my will as a derogatory term. Even today, when being a nerd is supposed to be socially acceptable, it's still used against me in a negative way. Bottom line, I paid a price to be called a nerd, I earned that title. So when I see...
