The room filled with tension,
Nerves flying through the air
From one member to the next.
Smiling under the
Crowds’ stares filled
With expectation.
ART OR ENTERTAINMENT by Camper Ruybal
For years the gaming community has enjoyed the constant feed of new games with better graphics or that new map. It just seems like there is always something completely new in the next game that the previous games don’t have. Or the online games that constantly updates and upgrades the content, adding more to it, or making it more extravagant. But then there comes the question, how much stuff is too much stuff? Or by adding more and more are you burning out the players who have been loyal fans for years? Say a new map came in that is just like the old ones, except with a darker filter. Why would that interest me anymore than the previous one? Or there has been ten new bosses added through a patch. There will always be that one game that really captured our hearts or our imagination, but after playing it over and over it just makes you feel burned out of the game and as though the things that were challenging before are now routine.

Also, there’s an element of adventure and an element of mystery that is intriguing. You never know what you’re going to find. Even as a child, I imagined how fun it would be to explore one of these locations. I find that the plants that overtake the original subjects are representative of something. I feel as though I’ve captured somebody’s memory, as life has gone on around it.”

DAISY by McKenzie Walker
Mom had that look in her eyes again
Like an absence of reality.
She sent me away for another cab ride around town,
She told me for only an hour or so
But this was the fifth ride this month.
She promised me anything I wanted,
Ice cream or a new toy.
But I knew better,
She only makes promises when she sends me away
For the wrong reasons.
