Whether it's through emotional storytelling, exciting gameplay, or surprising set pieces, there is no shortage of ways that video games manage to engage their players and spark their imagination. They also bring about connections between countless people in multiplayer settings, in some cases as casual and fleeting experiences between strangers, and in others as moments of bonding between friends. And as an entertainment as well as artistic
medium that is still fairly young, video games continue to grow everyday. It's in many ways a more uncertain and wondrous time than ever to be a gamer. These are the aspects of this medium that I wish to convey and detail through my writings on this website, and my hope is that they will lead to further understanding and enthusiasm for this medium.
