My Mass Effect Musings

 Steven Kellow    Video Games

In the gaming world, franchises or series are becoming the bread and butter of developers’ and publishers’ work.  New IP is rare amidst the flood of sequels, prequels and companions.  Some call it a lack of creativity, and in some cases it definitely is, but for some series it’s a mark of a gaming experience that deserves far more than just one outing.  The iconic example of this is the Mass Effect series.

Position Papers: Immigration

 Steven Kellow    Politics  

There’s plenty of issues in politics that leave everyone divided.  It’s part of the appeal of the subject for me, and I find it interesting to hear everyone’s take on some of the big debates in our society.  I’m a rather opinionated person, as you may be able to tell, and I’m definitely partisan when it comes to the sort of discussions that dominate current affairs.  With this post, I’ll kick off a series on some of my own political opinions and try to explain — Read more →
