When the Game of Life Owns All Other Games
My name is Flint Stocks. Some of you may know me from my extensive writings on the now indefinitely missing in action game review site, GameXotic.com. Others may not know me at all. When Warren Dance recently suggested I do some writing for Opium Pulses, I was honored. I felt like it was a great opportunity to dust off my keyboard after the long hiatus from writing that resulted from the untimely demise of GameXotic.
