Active Time Event

Inventio Per Fabula

  • We tend to overthink the everyday, as it is truly the simple things that matter most. Darren gets it I have so much thought bursting forth from my metaphysical self, and yet so little energy to fully fathom it. With that said, I think it’s going to have to be a much shorter (and more… Read more

  • To be silly is to be wise: when one gooses; one rebels. To wit; goose as hard as you fucking can I’m not at my most refined or heightened sense of thinking and writing this week, but all the more reason to try my hand at producing something of value, as the idea of only… Read more

  • Though it may not seem like it, one always has a choice in how they make their everyday count. Sadly, I think most people are so busy exploring the “fuck around phase” in the worst ways possible during the course of their life, the “find out phase” usually involves them in a coffin While I’m… Read more

  • The Winds Of Change…

    Self-care is important these days, no matter what form the healing process takes. Zelda is an excellent form of a personally applied panacea, in my humble purview I feel as if it’s worth prefacing this next statement with a rambunctiously obvious acknowledgement that in no way, shape, or form do I think is ridiculously enlightening,… Read more

  • “Shtay awhile and lishten“ Hell can take a number, I guess. As I struggle to maintain a mood in what feels like a particularly bleak week by personal standards, not even a release of a solid new title or the flurry of Gamescom is enough to elevate my mood. This strangulated sense of whimsy leaves… Read more

  • Every new day I read a fresh headline, reminds me of the petulant misery the human race is capable of. I would just greatly prefer if the human collective would spend just a teensy-tinsy bit more time actually giving a shit about rationality over desire for a brief moment The weekends are usually when there… Read more

  • Doing Diddy (Kong) Justice

    In the realm of video game related writing, I’m never quite sure if my heart is in the right place or not. What occurs in my head every time I sit down to write For anyone that follows Active Time Event on a regular basis, even those rare breeds that have been doing so since… Read more

  • Red Dead? Redemption, Too!

    When all else fails (including you), act like the accident involved was meant to happen. Punctuation goes a long way in reframing the narrative I’ve been running into a problem recently, one that’s been kind of hidden in plain sight for anyone who follows the site regularly, and is paying close enough attention to look… Read more

  • As I sit here with bloodshot eyes and a sore body, knowing I still have one more overnight shift left to do before my work week is over, mulling over ideas in an attempt to fulfill my self-imposed status quo of writing about games everyday, I catch myself from nodding off right before my head… Read more

  • Sometimes, our expectations are out of line with the reality of the situation, and how things are likely to turn out. Other times, we’re able to make some fair judgment calls based on reliable past experiencesWhich is why today’s words of wisdom, words that build off of my notion of Appreciating the Spectrum(s), involve managing… Read more

  • Time keeps on slipping… …into itself? That’s why today’s post is more of a bite sized tidbit, as it were, best laid plans and all that sometimes leaves one up the creek and without a paddle in the temporal department. I thoroughly suggest to anyone reading this that if you wish to get a new… Read more

  • Sometimes, it’s hard not to viscerally react to the harsh disappointments of the everyday. And sometimes that will require a tetanus shot Which relates to my notion involving feeling vs thinking, which is a distinction most don’t give more consideration too. Within my own Cartesian machinations involving the metaphysics of virtual reality, it’s important to… Read more

  • Sometimes, life can be a lot to handle. We can’t just punch all of our problems away, like Chris Redfield does with boulders he doesn’t like. That’s why on today’s words of wisdom, I wanted to posit the notion of resetting to default, and what that entails. You could think of it as some kind… Read more
