Pik up your life.

Soapbox features enable our individual writers and contributors to voice their opinions on hot topics and random stuff they’ve been chewing over. Today, on Pikmin 4‘s first anniversary, Alana thinks the half-plant, half-animal creatures known as Pikmin helped her move across the globe…

I define many of the biggest moments in my life contextually. What was I doing, what movies did I like, where was I living, and – perhaps most importantly – what games was I playing? Attaching memories and moments to objects or things is just human nature, whether they’re positive or negative.
