Level Up Your Life: How Gaming Builds Skills, Friends, and Succes
"Think gaming is just a way to kill time? Think again. Every quest you complete, every strategy you master, and every battle you fight is secretly leveling up your brain, your skills, and your real-life potential. Gaming isn’t just entertainment—it’s training for life."

My Top 25 NES Games
The Nintendo Entertainment System, or the Famicom in Japan, is the earliest console I have any direct experience of. We didn’t have a NES in our house when we were kids. I was a bit sniffy of it actually, viewing it as old-fashioned and before my time (I was born in 1984, between the Japanese and Western releases of the system). It was years later that I started to appreciate earlier games and hardware. I played the NES round friends’ houses and, eventually, well into adulthood, someone decided to get rid of theirs and now we had our own Family Computer.

Why World of Warcraft on Console Suddenly Makes Sense
It’s been a long time since people were able to play WoW on a controller using third-party software, and lately it’s become especially popular on handheld devices like the Steam Deck. Despite that, there is still no official controller support for WoW. Especially last year, many people have speculated that ability pruning and general simplification are actually preparation for WoW eventually moving to consoles. The recent addition of a one button rotation only added fuel to that discussion. For most players who would use it, it wouldn’t really make a difference in performance anyway, since it’s clearly not aimed at endgame players.
