First!
So here is my very first post in my brand new blog.
Going against my instinct which is to fill this first post with nonsense, garbage and expletives, instead, I am going to state loosely what the intent behind this blog is.
Despite what the name of the blog might suggest I am a gamer, I have been ever since my first experiences with Frogger - a fact I often loathe admitting, it suggests I am far older than I am – when instead I just started gaming THAT young. Even now I spend upwards of 20 hours a week playing various games, is that really a lot? Maybe not by most gamer's standards but to "normal" people it is.
Alright so that is who I am... but why create a blog in a market that is over-saturated as it is?
Well the answer to that is two-fold, in the not-so distant past I reviewed video games for a couple sites, and as I reviewed more and more games, saw more of my scores changed, my reviews changed and more about how the industry works I realized that I did not want to be another voiceless cog in the venerable PR machine. I also began to notice that I frequently rated games far lower than my peers, placing most games 2-3 points lower on a standard 1-10 scale.
In short, here I can say what I think without worrying about the PR people, the average score or offending my readers. I can say what it is I really hate about games, in general or specific.
P.S. poop-shit-monkey-ass-waffle. Sorry, couldn't resist.
