Things I’ve Written: Article Series on Gaming

Goodness. One of the reasons I was going to start reposting things I’ve written for work was to keep blogging more, wasn’t it? And yet here I am, over two months since the last blog post. But I have excuses! Over the last two months I have been doing some combination of the following to keep me from blogging:

  • Meeting my new nephew
  • Traveling to New York City
  • Being a bridesmaid in a steampunk wedding
  • Working on the Side Projectâ„¢
  • Overindulging on McDonald’s Happy Meals (seriously, within a week of the last blog post, they started offering My Little Pony toys)
  • Trying to drop down my search engine rank for the phrase “My Little Pony Porn” (crap, it just went up again)
  • Inching ever closer to death (aka turning 30)
  • Replaying Kingdom Hearts

…which leads to a tolerable transition to the meat of this post. A year ago the marketing team decided we wanted to write an article about video games for our monthly e-magazine. As the gamer in our small team, I wanted to make sure that gaming was presented fairly. This then led to not just one article, but three rather hefty ones dealing in-depth with the risks and rewards. In general, I think I left the articles in an empowering place for parents – it’s about judging each title individually, not just being all like, “Video Games Are Teh Evil!”

And with that said, it’s time for me to post the links to these articles. After all, Donald and Goofy are waiting for me so we can go rid Hollow Bastion of the Heartless.
