The convoluted time-traveling of Bioshock Infinite reveals that the main antagonist is one and the same as the protagonist. In order to stop Comstock from being born, Elizabeth drowns Booker, effectively eliminating the game from existe
The group initially claimed they wanted to trade her for one of their men who was incarcerated, but it was just a ruse to set up an ambush for Marston and Marshal Johnson. However, it didn't work, as John fought through the ambushers and rescued Bonnie, who the gang was attempting to h
On the way home from running errands in preparation for the evening’s festivities, "Where I Belong" by Simple Plan & State Champs (featuring We The Kings) came on. I had heard the song in passing before, but had never really paid attention to the lyrics - which speak of not being perfect, but still doing your best while living in the moment. The first playthrough had me listening to the lyrics and applying them to every facet of my life as Declan’s Dad. The second and third playthroughs had me driving while full-on adult sobbing. By the time I pulled into my driveway, I was blasting the song from my speakers louder than anything I had jammed bef
Things escalate when the Braithwaites realize the Van der Linde gang's true intentions. They kidnap John Marston ’s son Jack in retaliation, leading the gang to confront the Braithwaites at their manor. After a massive gunfight in which the gang appears to kill all of the Braithwaites, they find the matriarch, Catherine, hidden away upstairs. She eventually admits to giving John's son to Angelo Bronte. Before Arthur and his comrades set out to Saint Denis to look for the boy, they set fire to the Braithwaite manor. Catharine then shockingly runs back into the building, ultimately to her de
As cliche as "New Year, New Me" might be, I reprioritized my life. This time was different than any of my attempts prior, though, as every change I was making was in the interest of my son, instead of myself. "How can I be better for him?" "How can I make sure Declan grows up to be the person I truly believe he’s going to be - which is someone who is going to speak for those without a voice and change this open world game money guide for the better?" These were the questions at the forefront of my m
I grew up without my father in my life, and besides my Grandpa (whom I looked up to a great deal while growing up,) I never really had a father figure until high school. This isn’t any sort of plea for sympathy or excuse - my Mom did one hell of an amazing job raising and providing for me on her own while teaching me what it means to be a man. It’s merely stated as context for me not _ really _ knowing what it would take to be a
I wrote this piece while my son slept on my chest. He is having a rough weekend with three new teeth coming in, which means that my review of _ The Last of Us: Part II _ is taking a bit more time to complete than originally planned. It’s in the best interest of my son, though. I’m pretty confident that Joel would appr
After they eliminated Uncle, they cornered John, Abigail, and their son Jack in the barn. The former outlaw knew that he was the government's target, not his family. So, he instructed his wife and son to flee to safety. John then walked out of the barn, where he was met by a firing squad who proceeded to gun the man down. Without his sacrifice, the government would've likely located and killed all three Marst
Marston was only a child when he was taken in by Dutch so he can be forgiven for joining the gang in the first place. But even when he matured, he stuck by the gang for a long time. He didn't even seem to have issues with the heartless actions of the gang until Dutch started to turn on
It's hard not to get emotional when a colossus falls to its death. The player can't help but think they are doing something wrong by slaying these giants. After killing all sixteen colossi, Dormin is released and takes over the boy's b
I can’t quite shake that near-daily nagging negative voice in my head about being like my father. I’ve made mistakes, and I know that I’m going to screw up again. Probably a lot. But, I will learn from every mistake and apply it towards being a better person and father for my son. Declan will absolutely always know that he is adored and loved by his father. His Gamer
There was always a little voice in the back of my mind that kept saying, "You’re just like your father," when I felt like I was failing. Thankfully, I never let that noise prevent me from doing what I needed to do, because Declan deserved - and continues to deserve - my very best as his fat
Video games solely focused on hunting happen to be a rather niche product. Hunting is just one of those things in games that's a beloved inclusion, but not something that necessarily has mass-market app
One misdeed that John actually stopped the Mexican army from committing was the execution of some innocent people. Marston was having a drink with the famous gunslinger, Landon Ricketts when Luisa came in to inform them that Colonel Allende was sending prisoners to their deaths without tri
