One thing I love about video games is that they inspire others to make silly videos about games. Video game parodies are the best, especially when they are well-done and stay true to the game that they are making fun of. Some of the classic game parodies come from young gamers with a lot of time on their hands (like …

Tricks of the Trade

Every professional gamer knows that in order to get ahead in a game you have to know some things about that game that will give you that edge.
