The Night the Stadium Felt Like Home
I didn’t go for the spectacle. I went because I was lost. It was my first winter in a new country. The language felt like glass in my mouth, the streets unfamiliar, the silence in my apartment louder than any noise back home. I missed the rhythm of my old life—the market vendors who knew my name, the neighbors who waved from their windows, the comfort of being understood without speaking.

Completing the Survival Horror Saga
Remakes are often more exciting news than brand-new IPs or even sequels, but when it comes to the Resident Evil franchise, it hits even harder for me. This is because I truly love the Resident Evil series from the bottom of my heart, and I have played almost every single entry in the timeline. Among the only few titles that I still have to play—which are mostly obscure spin-offs—there is that one specific, major game I have always wanted to play but never actually did: Resident Evil: Code: Veronica X.

Animal Crossing: New Horizons 3.0 Update Review:
After 1,410 hours across five years and loving this game enough to gift it to multiple friends, I never expected to be writing this review. When Nintendo declared version 2.0 the "final major update" back in November 2021, we all accepted that New Horizons' story was complete. Four years later, here we are with version 3.0, released January 14, 2026, and I have complicated feelings about this surprise resurrection.

The Tragic Downfall of Light Gun Games
(Intro) One of the most enjoyable and sought-after experiences I looked for growing up and going to arcades were light gun games. Machines that put you front and center either fighting off criminals, potential worldwide disasters, or zombies created by an evil mastermind wanting to take over the world. And although arcades were the premier location to play most of this genre, there were other ways to experience this style of video game, albeit in a heavily compromised way. But, as the market for home consoles grew in the early 2000s, the need or even desire to find an arcade to experience these games diminished. To the point, that at least here in the states, arcades are still around but provide a much different experience than they once did. Places like Dave & Buster’s, Apex Entertainment and more focus on arcade games with the goal of winning tickets to cash in for prizes. Whereas years prior, those kinds of games certainly did exist, but there was a stronger emphasis on just playing games and experiences you couldn’t get anywhere else. There was no prize, no immediate gratification other than the experience itself. And maybe being allowed to stay on the machine until you lost, too. And light gun games were certainly at the top of the arcade food pyramid. Next to other genres, like classic racing games, and fighting games. So today, I wanted to just have a conversation about the light gun genre as a whole; go over some of its history, which games really gave this genre the popularity it deserved back in the day and ultimately why light gun games fell out of favor in an arcade setting. They’re still around don’t get me wrong, but good light gun games, that have tons of replay value, are challenging but feel fair, and ultimately give you that classic arcade experience have had a tragic downfall.
