I love video games.
I always have loved video games. As far as I can remember, the likes of Mario, Sonic, Zelda, and Tetris have always provided great memories and have largely shaped my creative thinking.
Being someone who loves video games as much as I do, I seem to try to compile a definitive lists of my absolute favorites quite often.

Well last time I did one of these was nine months ago…. At that time I promised that it would not be nine months until Ten Great Video Game Music Themes III. Unfortunately, I procrastinated and whenever I meant to get to it I ended up writing on something else. I apologize for the delay, so let’s get on with this show. Read more
The Wii. Nintendo’s money-printing, motion-controlling little white box. The Wii is a console that has quickly become one of the most popular of all time, yet, it is also the target of much ridicule by gamers on the internet. Much of this ridicule is unjust and unfair. I grow incredibly tired of these people’s constant whining so I decided to write this. Read more
