In an effort to help struggling Maryland families, I have started a group fundraiser on behalf of BGA.
All proceeds will go to the Maryland Food Bank. I know times are tough for everyone right now, but food scarcity is becoming a larger problem during these times for people who have never had to make use of a Food Bank ever.
Please consider donating here:
https://mdfoodbank.fenly.org/teams/bgalan/
If the goal of $1000 is met, everyone who donates will be entered into a drawing for a gift card to your choice of gaming store (Steam, XBOX, PSN, Epic, Nintendo, GOG, Humble Bundle).
Please help spread the word.

She is headed straight for the plate glass window of a women’s clothing store.
Martsoukos glances over. “You want to buy some clothes or something?”
A few seconds later, Fidler’s car explodes in flames. So does that of Mike Nash, a few yards away. Martsoukos is the last man standing–or driving–but not for long. His car goes up in smoke a few minutes later.
It doesn’t matter.… Continue Reading

While online, they could battle foes as far away as Japan for weeks without ever leaving their homes. Gaming addicts holed up in their rooms for days at a time, never setting foot outside (except maybe to tip the pizza delivery guy). It was a very lonely time.
But as the Internet matures, video gaming is going outdoors – in the form of computer Local Area Network (LAN) and video console parties. Gamers are forming clubs and renting out bars and firehouses in Maryland to throw these bashes. It provides a whole new dimension to the game: the human element.
“There’s nothing like being able to look over a table and yell at someone that you just killed them,” said Bob Keller, of a gaming group called the Maryland LAN Gamers. “Putting a face to a name is really, really neat – especially if they’re your friend.”… Continue Reading
