Growing up, I always saw playing video games as a natural extension of my interest in reading. To me, the fantastical worlds I explored in games mirrored those of my favorite children's books like Where the Wild Things Are and The Lorax. Many of the games I played and the stories I read shared a similar sense of whimsy and adventure, and piqued my interest with intriguing art styles.

How Cumming's police chief is using video games to reach
Through the COVID-19 pandemic, many have had to find ways to keep themselves entertained at home, with hobbies like baking, exercising, learning musical instruments or, in Cumming Police Chief David Marsh's case, playing video games.
"That's why I named it 'Gaming with the Chief,'" Marsh said.

LONDON — The developers of Cyberpunk 2077 are pushing back the release of new content for the game to focus on fixing bugs and crashes.
Polish game developer and publisher CD Projekt launched the highly-anticipated sci-fi epic last month. It's been the target of fierce criticism for releasing what many fans and critics saw as an unfinished game.

TJ Oshie’s obsession with video games goes to the next level
Avid gamer and dude that has Wario tattooed on his upper thigh , TJ Oshie , is doing what he can to keep himself entertained and keep His Precious safe on road trips.
Over the offseason, Oshie purchased a very fancy travel case for his Xbox video game console. And tonight, it’s making its season debut as the Capitals fly to Buffalo for their four-game trek to open the 2020-21 season.
“Of course – a travel case so he can game remotely,” Lauren Oshie wrote, seemingly exasperated with her husband’s silly hobby.
Many things are taking place:
Every Star Wars Video Game Released For The Nintendo Gamecube, Ranked
Back in the days where there were no loot crates or season passes, the 2000s were a golden age for Star Wars games, especially on the GameCube. As EA now charges real money for bonuses, those very bonuses would have been hidden unlockables in the GameCube games, as they were full to the brim with content, and fans could spend weeks combing through everything.

Gamers may now be a few console generations removed from the GameCube, but that little purple box delivered some incredible memories, with many of them being Star Wars adventures. From controlling canon characters during the Clone Wars to riding speeder bikes, there is barely a bad game of the bunch.

The Video Games That Got Us Through 2020 - The New York Times
I've spent the last few months doing almost exactly what I was doing 20 years ago: suspended in deep space, riding undulating rainbow roads in Mario Kart. Now, I play on my Switch. Then, on my Nintendo 64. Maybe you were new to video games in 2020, each day of social distancing nudging you closer to an alternate reality. (You wouldn't be alone; the industry saw record spending and profits this year .) Or maybe you've been playing since you developed the motor skills to grip a controller.
