The Mass Effect Series (The Beauty Of Space Adventures!)

 Nearly twenty years ago, one of my personal favorite gaming franchises came out and it has been an inspiration to me ever since and it was called Mass Effect. 

Mass Effect is a military science fiction media franchise that was created by developer Casey Hudson who was also one of the people who created Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic and Jade Empire. Both games that I really enjoyed playing as well.

The franchise is depicted a distant future where humans and aliens have colonized the galaxy using technology left behind by an advanced precursor civilizations.

Mass Effect was originally developed by BioWare and was originally published by Microsoft Game Studios for the first two games before being taken over by Electronic Arts.

The plot follows Commander Shepard who leads his team in an attempt to save the Milky Way galaxy from a race of ancient machines known as the Reapers.

The game usually incorporates third-person shooting along with role-playing elements which is one of the reason why I love these games. I love the whole creating your character and getting to interact with your crewmates and going out on all these different adventures with them was really fun for me. The series was basically a space opera where you can develop relationships with anyone from your crew and over time become romantic.

The idea of space travel is really cool to me and just the thought of seeing what is out there among the stars in terms of different planets, different lifeforms, different beliefs and so much more.

The whole action, RPG elements, the characters and gameplay made these games extremely fun to play and I would even go as far to say it has been an inspiration to some of my own writing and I would really love to be able to create something like that for others to enjoy.

Mass Effect is a great game and I highly recommend you play it if you have never played it.

Until Next Time!

God Bless and Be Safe Everybody! 🙏🙏🙏

2009 Lewistown Panthers Baseball

Image
 Well, with me trying to become more positive about myself, I have been looking back into the past and find ways to let go of some of the negative emotions attached to it. One such issue was going back to my time at Lewistown Area High School which as mentioned before was a huge struggle for me.  But again, trying to be more positive, I wanted to look back at that time and remember some of the good moments during that period. One of which was playing for the Lewistown Panthers baseball team. Heading into my senior year of high school, I wasn't in the best state of mind. Honestly, I really did not want to be there anymore, I was just so sick of life, never thought I was going to be anything. All I ever was going to be was a huge disappointment. I can only give credit to God for being able to get through that year. But then baseball tryouts came along and I decided to go for it again. The previous years I've tried only to fail, which in fairness, wasn't much of a surprise bec...

The Wacky Adventures Of Joshua and Chad: McVeytown Eagles Championship Parade!

Image
Well tonight was a pretty special night down here in McVeytown as Chad and I along with many other people who live here in McVeytown all came together to celebrate a special accomplishment. And that was how all three of the McVeytown Eagles teams made it to the CKYFL championship games. Winning in both the Peewee and Midget divisions and placing second in the Mighty Mights. Stuff like this doesn't happen often in such a small town where I live so to see these kids have the time of their lives during the parade was certainly a sight to see. One of the things I love about covering sports is when I see kids learn, work hard and turn it into success. And these kids were learning a lot throughout the season and watching them grow and not only become better football players, but better people as well.  Which is why I have really enjoyed covering the CKYFL these last few years for Hometown Sports. People like Travis McCullough who is the President of the league along with Adam Weaver, Rob...

The 2005 Lewistown Panthers Football Team!

Image
 I recently completed reading my story for Hometown Sports Magazine about the 2005 Lewistown Panthers football team who finally ended a thirty years of losing seasons. In this blog, I wanted to talk about why I wanted to write about this team and how I feel the lessons that were learned about them throughout the year can still be used today.  One of the biggest reasons as to why I wanted to write about this team was because of how much of team these guys were both on and off the field. These guys have played the game of football together for a number of years and it clearly showed. Plus being a youngster, I really didn't know the history of Lewistown Panthers football. I only remember going to games because I remember my cousins playing on the team. But talking about the football team in general, to put it nicely, there wasn't a lot of success. In fact when I started this journey of writing this story, I discovered that Lewistown didn't have a winning season for thirty year...
