Should Pokémon Get A Mature Version?
Since Pokémon Yellow was first released in 1998, its no secret that the vast majority of the games have been kind of... copy/paste. The stories are varied and a lot of mechanics are updated as the generations go on, but at the end of the day, "you are [BLANK] and you live in/move to town [BLANK]. Your rival/friend [BLANK] wants to beat you every time. You both get a Pokémon from Professor [BLANK] and both decide to do the gym challenge. Along the way you do errands and quests from people who you meet and they give you rewards that help you advance in the story. Along the way you meet Team [BLANK] who is trying to [DO BAD THING] and their leader [BLANK] who thinks you're a stupid kid, even though you keep beating him/her and his/her goons. Everybody tells you over and over again how great your bond with your Pokémon is, and once you finally beat Team [BLANK] you fight/catch [LEGENDARY POKEMON] and then defeat the Elite Four and your rival for the last time and become the champion."

'Marvels: Guardians Of The Galaxy' Video Game Includes A Beautiful Stan Lee Cameo
Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy has rocketed past the expectations of fans and critics into the fabled “good superhero game nebula.” After the tepid reception of Marvel’s Avengers (also by Square Enix), Guardians was a much needed boon to the Merry Marvel Marching Society. It is filled to bursting with Easter eggs from the greater Marvel universe, character skins, and an enriching story. It has closer ties to the comics’ Guardians than their movie counterparts. However, no Marvel property worth its red and white logo would be complete without a cameo from Stan “The Man” Lee. If the complete Guardian’s package comes together as a celebratory cosmic cake for the Guardians of the Galaxy, then Stan Lee's own cameo is the invincible, immortal, icing on top.

"I Choose You"
Anybody who knows me in real life knows one of my all-time favorite fantasy settings is the world of Pokemon. I've been in love with the series since the original Pokemon games of Red and Blue and the anime, way back when I was a little kid. I think I originally got the Blue version while my older brother got Red, but I later got Yellow. Then, for the second generation, I'm absolutely sure I got all three of Gold, Silver, and Crystal. The third generation was when I got Sapphire, and the fourth generation I got Platinum. For the fifth-generation games, I chose the White Versions for both the first game and the sequel, mainly because I thought Zekrom was cooler. In the sixth generation, I went with the Y version. The Sun version was my generation seven game. Finally, for generation 8 of a now twenty-five-year-old franchise, I chose Shield.

Immersive Fandoms Reign Supreme
When I thought about what the best fantasy world could be, my brain ran through several options as fantasy is my absolute favorite thing. So many books and movies came up as potential subjects until I sat down at my writing desk. I then realized that I had focused too hard on those two things while forgetting one important entertainment genre that contains plenty of fantasy: video games.
