  • Fatigued: A Response to Gamer Gorilla Radio

    20

    In the latest edition of Gamer Gorilla Radio, Andy McNamara asks, "Are gamers fatigued about the video game violence topic?" I'd say we're fatigued by that topic and several others. Personally, I rarely do topical blog posts. Why? Because nearly every major topic has been discussed eight ways to Sunday. Many people complain about the lack of quality activity here at GIO, but maybe there is just nothing new to talk about. Think about it...

  • Stress Relief

    Like many of you, I play video games for a variety of reasons, and the reason I'd like to highlight here is stress relief. Video games are a great form of stress relief, IF you play the right game with the right task. I won't name EVERYTHING I've ever enjoyed in video games (to relieve stress), but I'll name a few of my favorites:
