Around the time I was playing the first season of Life Is Strange, I attended a family gathering at my in-laws'. I overheard some of my younger cousin in-laws taking about video games. Having finally found some common ground with someone there, I joined the conversation.Soon it came time for me to tell them about... Continue Reading →
In the Fall of 2009, around the time Halo 3: ODST was released, I started serving my one year of mandatory military service as a guard in The Royal Norwegian Air Force. (I swear this is going to be relevant.) After two months of an introductory boot camp, they assigned me to a base outside a... Continue Reading →
