There’s nothing wrong with playing a Pokemon game at the age of 35. Hah, just kidding. There’s a lot of things wrong with that. Video games have stress decompression components similar to watching an episode of The Walking Dead or sipping a Macallan 25 neat in front of a fireplace. The only real problem with gaming while in a professional career is that there’s a much larger time investment required. If you do manage to break free from the shackles of life and are ready to burn a few hours on a video game, you had better spend it wisely. And no, we’ll never suggest anything embarrassing to play.Lets explore what we call, “sophisticated gaming” for the modern man.

The battle looks chaotic in the background as Covenant and Forerunners battle it out on the land and sky.

Let’s face it people, we got shit to do. Not only that, we’ve made ourselves into mobile workaholic stations bent on ensuring we are never out of touch on the next email/phone/text/insta-tweet-snap digitally seeping through our eye sockets like some sort of neuromantic virus osmosis-ing its way into our already mushed think-tank. Ironically, this electronic eye mashing that we stress over with is...

Dark Souls II is quite possibly one of the most brilliant games ever made, and it will certainly go down in history as something that captured the true essence of classic gaming with modern-day graphics.

I considered starting this post with my juggernaut-like history with video games, but I feel like that’d force you to read I’ve got a pretty lengthy history with ye ol’ trusty Playstation.

RAMONE is a composition of non-fiction short stories and introspections by Reggie Tan.
Howdy. I first started blogging on RAMONE.ca in 2009, with a dedicated focus on men's lifestyle and stories of inebriation. Shortly after, I was listed as a top Canadian blogger, and over the next decade, I've collaborated with hundreds of notable brands.
Then I grew up. As of late, I've graduated to writing about life experiences, well-researched opinions, and hopefully a few things you might find useful.
This is my memory vault.
About me－Power user of technology. Style guy. Avid gamer. Obsessed with the Cybertruck. Lyrical poet. I like my beats bottom heavy. Madaline is ∞. Only God can judge me. INTP. Birthed in the East Coast of Canada by a pair of cool Filipino parents. Cautiously ADHD. I prefer my whisky neat with a tumbler of room-temp water. Otherwise, a pint of your best draught will do.
I'm a member of the anti-social club. Happily retired from Facebook or Instagram. My verified Twitter account was recently hacked. I do use LinkedIn for business.
