We love video games, and we love creativity. Fan content is the perfect mix of both, especially when created by passionate fans of all shapes and sizes.
As stated before in our articles, we try to feature content from the community as much as our own editors' hard work. Because it's all of us creating the community we are a part of, and it is up to all of us to make the scene enjoyable enough for others to want to join in as well.
The beauty of gaming these days, is that it's much more a normal part of every day life than earlier on in this century.

If you agree with us, and want to share your compiments with the creator then be sure to head on over to this reddit thread!
