When I was a kid I wanted to review games. I dreamed of writing for EGM or GamePro (oh god some of you are so young you don’t know those). I thought I could combine my loves of writing and games. Instead I became a teacher who coaches esports. Close enough. Pictured: Actual mags I owned as a kid

Still, for some reason I think I can pontificate on my love for a silly little art form for children. So for the month of February, I'm going to write each day about some game or series that I love. Go into detail as to what makes it amazing to me and maybe why it might be amazing to you too.

Because truly what the world truly needs is the video game opinions of one more straight cis white dude.

It's midnight EST, so let's start here. Day one. Here's a game I love...

So Chrono Trigger. Have you heard of this? Anyone heard of this? It's an SNES RPG from the Final Fantasy guys, the Dragon Quest guys, AND the Goku guy. That's right Goku is here and he's got a sword and a frog and he's going to fuck you up.

Way back when I was a wee lad we never had enough money to buy video games. But my mom worked at a Kroger which had a video rental store in it - a relic of a bygone age for sure - and so we could get movie and game rentals for very, very cheap. That's where I met Chrono Trigger.
