Another one: statamic.com. Flat file, live routing and caching, with a responsive cp.

That's the biggest thing I came to grips with, which really has nothing to do with video games. You need to balance work with the rest of your life. Family is important. Faith (to me) is important. Friends, fitness, and food are all im

I've been getting so many recommendations for games I had to update the post. Thanks for the great feedback, I'm glad my post resonated with so many of you! http://jackmcdade.dev/blog/why-i-play-video-games#up

It's a really cool game with some really interesting mechanics. What other games does your SO enjoy? Feel free to email jack {at} jackmcdade.com.

Yup, you're definitely right. Video games are almost a short-cut to unwinding, but they're certainly not a silver bullet.

I do actually -- I have 2 boys, 4 and 18 months old. They go to bed around 8pm and my wife at 11pm or so. I'm self-employed and work from home, so I stay up for a few hours and game (or work some more depending on the week), and then s

I really think video games are a sweet spot in the stress-relief category. Reading (I'm an avid reader) didn't cut it, watching movies or tv, running, weight lifting... none of them relax me like gaming. Well, maybe drinking, but

Dude are you kidding me, people are still playing UT99?? That was MY GAME back in the day! I was ranked in the top 25 and my buddy was #2 waaaaay back. I even got pretty hardcore into mapping and got a stage or two into regular rotation on

Great reply! I definitely agree with you all across the board. Video games do represent an interesting location on the Venn diagram of hobbies, in that they can have great storytelling, character development, action, immersion, and emotiona

I do love hitting the gym as well. I usually go right before lunch :)

by jackmcdade 13y ago
Absolutely true. Video games do it for me (I also hit the gym a few times a week, watch tv, play board games, etc), but they're certainly not a silver bullet. They just happen to intersect many points of entertainment and self-involvem

Well hey there Kenny! I'm definitely gonna check out your podcast. I see Joel and Ellie there on the homepage so I definitely need to see what that's all about.

$250 for a PS3, 4 controllers, and 25 games wasn't a bundle I found on Amazon :)

I know what you mean. I did more or less retire from video games for a while until a few solid ones brought me back. Honestly, everything Naughty Dog released is incredible. The Unchartered series and The Last of Us are absolute masterpiece

Portal and Portal 2 are both great games! Loved em both in every way.

by jackmcdade 13y ago
I plan to :) I got a little bit caught up in the older-school graphic style, big chunky HUDs and whatnot, but I think I'm really only a few hours from the end. I plan to finish it real soon. I also watch tv with my wife regularly. I&#x

I also think that video games give you small victories and and sense of achievement, and failure can be undone. It's a good (albeit unrealistic) type of positive reinforcement that keeps me from getting too hard on myself.

Awesome, that's a great show too and a great reference in the media :)
