The Games that Defined Me

Gaming is such a tremendous, expansive hobby, and it's inevitable that each of us are drawn to a wildly different variety of titles. I've met so many people who have never even heard of some of my favorites, and vice versa. But all of us who play share something in common- a journey. There are …

Celebrating Skyrim’s 10th Anniversary!

Whoa, what?! Surely that can't be right! *rubs eyes and looks again* Good gravy, it's true! The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim is 10 YEARS OLD as of today! Where did the time go?! (Hint: a lot of it to playing Skyrim :P) I've long espoused Skyrim as being my favorite game of all time. While …

2019 Summary: Resolutions, Games Played, and the Future of Brink of Gaming

Hello, friends, and Happy New Year!! Despite what wild conclusions you may have drawn from my hiatus these last few months (giving up on the blog, fleeing the internet in fear of Star Wars spoilers, meeting an untimely demise to a pack of velociraptors, etc.), I am still alive and kicking!

Today is My First Blogging Anniversary!

Daily Inkling Challenge- “Near Miss”

"Describe the closest you’ve ever come to getting into a deadly accident, but nothing bad ultimately ended up happening." Matthew over at Normal Happenings has thrown out another Daily Inkling that immediately grabbed my attention, and in this case, is oddly relevant to my own blog's series of topics. This is a story about how …

Daily Inkling Challenge- “The Day After”

"What do you do to cope the day after you arrive home from a great vacation?" Matthew over at Normal Happenings posed this question to his followers in one of his most recent Daily Inkling posts. However, a tiny, pink dot in my notification center informed me that I had actually been tagged in this …

New Year’s Resolutions for 2019- Cheers!

Oh, the New Year’s Resolution. I’ve rarely heard such positive, well-meant ideas laughed at over the years as harshly as these goals for self-improvement.
