Today’s post was inspired by a question tweeted out by Eric Bailey, a Christian gamer (though I suspect he’d prefer the former be put more far forward than the latter) and… I guess I can also call him an accidental satirist? Honestly, his Twitter content is equal parts wholesome and random. He should be in your social feed if he’s not already. And don’t let his faith scare you off: He’s actually one of the good guys.

Anyway, back to the post’s point. Bailey had tweeted out for examples of the perfect video game, citing Contra and Tetris as examples. This prompted one response out of me, but the more I think about it, the more I kind of pondered other video games that I would think fit the bill. Mostly because the question is so complex yet simple. It asks not about favorite game or favorite game story or favorite genre; it asks you to consider a video game condensed into its “purest” form. To consider gaming as perfect means it fits its function and executes its idea so flawlessly and so brilliantly that you don’t even have to think about it. At least, that’s my interpretation. So, I decided to write about it.

Atlas Reactor, blade and soul, city of heroes, master x master, MMO, mmo music, mmorpg, mmorpg music, music, ost, paladins, soundtrack, splatoon, theme, wildstar

This is a softball topic of a blog, but that’s because I feel like I’ve been hit in the head with a softball. In other words, my skull is just absolutely throbbing. But more than that, I just wanted to write a positive and happy MMO thing today and few things make me happier than a good MMO tune.

MMO soundtracks are generally throwaway things, but there are occasions where a song in a game will strike me just right. So I decided, since it’s Valentine’s Day, to show a little love to my favorite MMO menu themes.

So a couple of days ago I decided to turn an image that was circulating around Twitter in to a writing prompt. Which, overall, felt like a good idea but it ran awfully long. So this here’s part two of that blog!

At long last, it is mine.  On the good grace of my husband (or in an attempt to shut me up I’m not quite sure yet), it is in my possession.

..hhnnnggGGGGHH!!

I first played this game several months back when it was doing a “Test Fire” to see if their servers could ha–oh who am I kidding?  I can’t even type that without rolling my eyes.  We ALL know that it was a sales beta.  Thing is, it worked–Splatoon is easily the most entertaining and fun multiplayer shooting game I have experienced on any platform, and after that “test”, I was hungry for more.

And one of the reasons for that is its color palette.
