It was a gorgeous afternoon. We had only had lunch, the sun was shining. My house was living with the thrum of family and friends in Fortnite Items precisely the same area. Laughter, joy that is infectious. Out my 5-year-old son played with his cousins. My son, on a whim, bounced into a stop. He pulled down his pants. He pulled down his underpants.

He had been doing a movement made popular from the movie game Fortnite. Naked, in full view of his cousins, he was doing the floss.In that moment I recognized two things. FirstI had to sit my son down and teach some borders around genitals and if it had been appropriate to expose them.Second: Fortnite is anywhere.

Fortnite is over a video game, it is a cultural tsunami and nobody will be spared its inescapable wrath.

However, Fortnite is, clearly, more than that.2018 was a big one for video games. Important releases comprised God of War, Spider-Man Dead Redemption 2. Smaller, indie games like Florence, Dead Celeste and Cells came to the forefront. All fantastic video games.
