So, let’s rap. If I were a cool uncle (I’m an uncle, just not a cool one) I’d pull a chair up and sit on it backwards. Let’s talk about how uncle is maybe not the best person. In my last post I went on a tirade, a weird one. If social media has taught me one thing, it’s that you put your best foot forward on the internet. It’s a highlight reel of your life, most times. This… this is not that. This series for me is not a highlight...
Merry Holiday of your choice, nondescript and easily offended gray blobs of the internet. Here’s hoping it gave you joy in a way that brought no pain to others. Except for the jerks who DDoS’d PSN and XBL. You guys just made everyone’s lives a little more miserable. Why? In the past few weeks I’ve done a few things, one of them has been continuing to read.

This doesn’t seem hard enough.” Well shut up negative me because this is in fact harder than you thought. Addiction. That’s how I would describe my relationship with gaming. I...
Hello! My name is Chris Lock and you’re joining me for a personal experiment. I am going to give up games (mostly) for an entire year, just to see what happens. But first a little background as to why I am doing this. A few years ago I started writing for LevelSave, just for fun. The site grew and shrank, as sites do, but kept chugging along all the same. Because of my work I was able to do some stuff I hadn’t thought possible. Namely to interview developers, get...
