Hey, everyone, and thanks for stopping by to check out my blog! It really means a lot, considering just how oversaturated the Internet is with gaming stuff. With giants like Kotaku, Polygon, IGN and so on and so forth, it’s easy to ask yourself why anyone could possibly have a need for a smaller blog ran by a single person who hasn’t studied journalism, doesn’t have a press pass, hasn’t been to E3 and doesn’t have hundreds of thousands of subscribers on YouTube. And the reason why is because my opinion matters. It doesn’t matter more than the opinion of, say, Kirk Hamilton, nor does it matter less. Just because I’m not what some may call a “qualified journalist” doesn’t mean I should be looked down upon.
Of course, I’m not the only special schmuck with an opinion, very far from it! Opinions are like bum holes, everyone’s got one – but while most people are satisfied with expressing theirs in a Tweet, I found that this no longer really worked for me. As a matter of fact, it’s a common joke among my Facebook friends about how I constantly write out 500+ word long blog posts, which at the end of the day go on to be ignored because, well, that’s Facebook for you. So my reasoning was that maybe a blog would be a better place for my rants, opinions and trivia than social media could ever be. And maybe this place will remain completely ignored, or maybe it’ll generate a small group of followers over time. Either way, I’m sure I’ll have fun! If you’re here – thanks for your support, and I’ll see you on the other side!
