Punch Club Punches A Special Place In My Heart.

Dux, like put up your dukes, right?

I must have seen Sport Sport like, a million times!

First, I must preface and say that I am a product of the 80's. The movie that I watched more than any other movie in my childhood was Bloodsport. In Bloodsport, Frank Dux, a man who was trained by an old mentor that has recently passed away, comes back home to kick some ass in an underground fighting tournament. Sounds like a hit movie, right? Many martial art flicks from the 80's followed a similar plot. AND THEY ALL ROCKED.

We will be streaming That Dragon, Cancer this weekend!

Gaming evokes emotion: Elation over defeating the villain, triumph over solving a challenging puzzle, and even frustration when you’re killed in game over, and over, and over.  But what about gaming to work through emotions?

That Dragon, Cancer, developed by Ryan and Amy Green, Josh Larson and Numinous Games, is based on the Green’s life experience raising their son Joel, who at 12 months was diagnosed with terminal cancer. The Greens originally developed the game in order to relate their personal experiences with Joel, but it soon turned into a way to memorialize and personalize their short time with Joel.

Having lost my father to cancer, and watching my mother battle through it now, I feel like it’s the right game to play, and may even help me cope with my own feelings.
