Okay, it's mostly going to be video games.
Video games have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I remember the day my mom took my sister and I to the store to get a Nintendo 64. I remember when I was in the hospital with some as-of-yet unidentified flesh-eating bacteria and my parents got me a GameBoy Color (yeah, I had been pestering them for months to get me one and the only thing that convinced them was a new and unknown threat to my life). I remember Christmas in 2001 when my Uncle gave me Pokémon Crystal Version, the best game of all time and THERE WILL BE NO FURTHER DISCUSSION ON THE MATTER.
The thing is, I don't want to end up some entitled millenial playing games and taking nothing redeeming from them. I want to learn and grow and share the most incredible mass medium in the world with other people.
I'm going to be spending whatever free time I have writing here. I'll be giving my impressions, opinions, and my vain attempts at humor over whatever games I want. I'll be writing reviews for games new and old (because I'm too broke to afford every new $60 game), my thoughts on current events in the industry, and maybe throw in a couple of gameplay videos.
I'm doing this because I love writing, and I love video games. I love them so much that I want to make a career out of it, and this is the first step. I want to become as good at this as I can possibly be, and I want you to help me. Tell me what you think. Tell me what you want in a writer. Hit me if you have to, I don't mind.
It's not going to be easy. The thing is, nobody ever told me it was - in fact they've been telling me the exact opposite - and that's exactly why I want to do it.
Thank you.
