Welcome to Cyberjack!


As of this writing and effective immediately, this blog is no longer The Escapist's Realm. It is now Cyberjack, dedicated solely to video games. As a gamer and an aspiring game designer, I have a passion for the medium and seek to make my own contributions to the industry and community. As I walk along the path to my career goal, I have been looking at video games from a variety of perspectives in terms of technology, economy, history, culture, and society. As a result, I became aware of various sources of information about certain aspects of video games, like the history of a video game franchise, and some gamers may not even be aware of. Therefore, I make it my personal mission to transmit the information through to the video game community. I am thoroughly open what ever opinions on certain topics I cover in the comments section below my posts. That way, you, the reader, would contribute to the gaming community in ways they may not have considered. For example, we might learn from mistakes made by game companies when they release a badly designed game.

By restructuring this blog from The Escapist's Realm to Cyberjack, I hope to share my insights while gaining new ones along the way. Based on the progress I have been making in my game development/design studies so far, I look forward to seeing the technological and cultural path video games would be taking in the future.

The Escapist's Realm to Undergo a Name Change

For over the past year, I have been drafting far more posts for this blog than publishing. As that happens, I've been increasingly disliking the title for this blog, The Escapist's Realm. One of the reasons for this growing distaste is because people tend to link the word "escapist" to hiding from the real world via fantasy. While this is true for video games to some degree, I don't tend to see it that way. In recent months, a new title has been coming to mind, one that is far more relevant to my topic of video games, including their history, culture, and design. The title change from The Escapist's Realm to the new one, Cyberjack, is increasingly inevitable. In fact, this is going to happen at around midnight of the end of this month. This will give you, the readers, time to spread the news of this change and be ready for it since it would change the link. In the meantime, I will continue writing up drafts and publish new posts. I am looking forward to the continued growth of this blog and I hope you will too.
