A bit more about me.

I am getting ready to post my first article for the home page. And I would like to let people know about me a bit more before I start receiving hate mail over a select few comments. I have nothing against any of the games I comment on. I love it when a developer tries something new. But “new” has become more of a recycled/hand-me-down type of new. Even TV shows are just recycling ideas. I want something that is ground up NEW!

But I worked for a group a while ago that owned a very large number of early arcade games. I was employed to fix these golden classics, the original Mario brothers, the original Galaga, even the original Trap Shoot and silent hunter.  I immersed myself in those games, every component, every detail, every game type. And to sit ang play the games that were the grandfathers to anything we play today was a humbling approach, especially when you see that the hardware that drove these games was less complex than most clock radios are today. To see what they accomplished with such limited technology, it really makes me wonder if what we have now is still only scratching the surface of what we are capable of with the advancement of technology….

Anyway….I’m still fighting to distance myself from the political debates, I feel that I have way too much to say that can be posted into a single blog, or many blogs…but I know that there is nothing I can say to change anyone’s mind since nothing that anyone has said has changed my mind. So in the interest of not causing myself to have a brain aneurism and die from frustration…I’m just going to be skipping all political blogs until….forever.  

Now to the gaming….We broke 58,000 this weekend. Got in a ton of Fallout 3, a lot of Penny Arcade 2, and even some UT3. I can’t wait for COD: World at War and L4D to release…

Well, I got a bit off topic, but oh, well.
