The best Games of all time

 The best games of all time. Yes - ALL TIME, across ALL PLATFORMS*

1) Asheron's Call 2. Hands down best MMORPG. It was way ahead of it's time - graphics wise, lore wise, gameplay wise (PVP especially), and had such unique game elements - from races and classes, to crafting and travel. 


2) Quake 3 Weapons Factory Arena. This Quake 3 team based capture the flag mod has some of the fastest gameplay and class dynamics that were spot on. 


The following games are more in the realm of childhood education, and will have their own blog posts:

3) Logical Journey of the Zoombinis.

4) Super Solvers: Gizmos and Gadgets! Many of the games in the Super Solvers series from The Learning Company

TIME: the need to optimize the scarcest resource

Time is the scarcest resource of all. Our time is limited. With all the things to learn in life, what are some protips to optimize time to learn? Find out a few below! Instead of listening to music during the drive to and from work, working out, mowing the lawn, shoveling snow, or other chores, choose to optimize your time by listening to podcasts or audiobooks while doing these activities. I’m not saying to give up listening to music. Music is the universal language and plays an important part of life! Just recognize the opportunity to learn through some multitasking.  If you are streaming TV or movies, you can work on your grip strength or practice holding your breath longer !  Some highly recommended podcasts are: https://mastersofscale.com/ https://mastersofscale.com/rapidresponse/ https://www.jordanharbinger.com/ https://darknetdiaries.com/ https://cloud.withgoogle.com/cloudsecurity/podcast/
