Video Game Challenge Progress Report (Redux Edition Part 2): Apollo Justice – Ace Attorney

July 25, 2016

There are times when I set up these challenges for myself and I wonder if I’m either taking on too much or expecting too much from myself. Despite doing what you can to meet the goals you set out for yourself, sometimes you’re going to encounter a few setbacks. It’s in these instances where you go easy on yourself and readjust where you can. The bottom line is you don’t quit when you still want to achieve something.

Gotta Catch ‘Em All Fever: Pokemon Go Takes Over The World

July 18, 2016

Trends are funny things to predict. Companies and developers release a product or game thinking they have a huge hit on their hands only to discover, after the release date, that it’s anything but a hit.
