    Video Games and Violence?

    Nah, I don’t think video games make people violent. If anything, they even make people feel relaxed. I’ve had long, stressful days several times where gaming kept me calm instead of the opposite.

    Are you a big fan of extremely challenging games?

    I like a challenge in games, but not the kind that makes me want to throw my controller through a window🤣. Games like Elden Ring look so amazing, but I just don’t have the patience to keep dying every now and then.🤣

    Which do you enjoy more: games that seem to go on forever, or those that have a definite ending?

    I love games with an ending. I like that sense of accomplishment especially when the credit starts to roll in. Endless games are fun too, but I burn out quickly if there’s no real finish line.

    I go into both IGN and GameSpot, but I feel like IGN deals more with casual entertainment while GameSpot takes a deep dive into gaming. Neither of them is perfect, but they both help me keep up.
