Koho: Nearly Two Years In
Writer's Note: I believe in full disclosure. Koho has sent me a gift before, but that will not influence this review. I will be pointing out the good, and also the spots where they can improve. Also, at the end of the article, I've provided a link in case you want to sign up for Koho. That link is my referral link, and I have provided more information on it at the bottom.

The Peterson 'Paradox'
If you, like me, follow gender politics, we both may need a moment and some cannabis. If anything exemplifies, for me, the current situation in gender, it's the idea of a Thanksgiving dinner in a large family where everyone has different views and different opinions on how the turkey should be done and what choices everyone should have made, but the bottom line is that love and connection undergird the experience.

App Review: Sweatcoin
When I had first heard about Sweatcoin, funny enough it wasn't through somewhere like Fitbit, or any sort of fitness related thing. It was actually through a time-monitoring app for my phone, which allowed you to take a look at other stats that users had willingly allowed them to post about, and that's when I saw the name.

Review: Sky Factory 3
I thought to play Minecraft was already difficult enough when I first picked it up a few years ago, but with the release of different mods and such, little did I know that it could get a lot more difficult, and you could be playing a whole different game.

1 Hour Review: Dragon Age Origins
(TL;DR is at the bottom of the review) During a Humble Bundle sale, I had received several games for Origin, which is EA’s attempt at trying to create Steam, but not exactly having the backing to do so (still decent, just not as polished as Steam is). Several of the games were sequels to games that I have not played the first one yet (Dead Space, Mass Effect), but there was one set of games that came with both the first game, and the second one was well, and that was the Dragon Age series. So I decided with the fact that it was the only game that came with game one and two, that it would be the one that I would start with. This is my One Hour Review. Recaps of my notes, so total time and status in the game will be recapped every so often with an italic font.

Cook, Serve, Delicious!
About a year ago, I had gotten a Humble Bundle which included a game that I was somewhat curious about, especially because the bundle that I had gotten it from was called ‘Aaargh!’ I’m sure that we’ve all been at that point where we’ve experienced games that are so frustrating that this sentiment, along with several very impolite things, would spill from our mouths. This game was called “Cook, Serve, Delicious!”

The %@$^ Is an MCN?
For those of you that are thinking about starting up a YouTube channel, or that already have a YouTube channel, you may have come across a few MCNs (Multi-Channel Networks), or ‘partners’, or, depending on the size, you may have already been approached by one, or a few. What now?

1 Hour Review: The Stanley Parable
Another game that I had gotten from the Steam Sale that had occurred over the winter holidays was The Stanley Parable. I had gone into this game knowing only that it was a bizarre game, with some rather odd things about it, and that there was a fair bit of narration in it. But, the thing that I didn’t know was just how important, or unimportant, that the narration was. This is not a game where you have to look through things, and then read, and then do more things. This is a game that had a full story written out in front of you, but is, to the best comparison that I can think of, a ‘choose your own adventure’ game.

1 Hour Review: Papers, Please!
During the Steam sale, I picked up a game that I had seen talked about a lot. It’s called Papers, Please. First look at the game, I thought it was just going to be a silly game, where you just had to do things as quickly as possible, and then go from there, and get faster each day.

App Review: "Applike"
So, I'm sure by now, anyone who's gone through a game and has had to sit through a commercial or an ad to get that bonus boost has seen the commercial for it. The little star, bouncing around between games and across the on-screen text to a boppin' beat that you can't help but want to download, claiming that you can make money from something as simple as playing games!
