The level of entertainment video games have given us has evolved significantly since the first blips on a computer screen were allowed to be controlled by our hands. Games now feature beautiful cinematography, moving soundtracks, robust storylines and characters as memorable as The Man with No Name and Darth Vader. Although it’s easy to see the maturity of games that are released today, there is still a fervent campaign condemning games with the mindset that video games are just for kids.
A passionate initiative in support of video games has arisen in the past decade, dedicated to prove that video games are a true art form.

Work for the locals is getting less stressful by the day, and eventually many of us will soon have more time on our hands than we want. While there are many ways to pass your time in Ocean City, I have to admit that watching movies in an empty theater with friends is one of my favorites.
