An Introduction

This is blog is the result of much encouragement from my friends and especially my girlfriend. I plan on posting my thoughts on all sorts of topics every Saturday and whenever the hell I feel like it. I suppose I should answer a few questions that I always am forced to ask when I look at a blog:

Why should my opinions matter to you? They shouldn't, really, but I'm an English scholar and I specialize in Creative Writing and Contemporary Literature, so when I play a game, I'm not only playing for the gameplay, but also for the unique form of storytelling that video-games offer. So read my blogs on games for a look at what they do as far as story and some of my ideas as to where that particular part of gaming is headed.

What if I disagree with you on something? Let me know. Perhaps I can persuade you into my way of thinking or maybe you can do the same for me. I don't mind being proven wrong or allowing myself to look at something from a different angle. Learning new things is half the reason I started this blog (the other half is to stroke my ego and think that people will read it)

Can I act like a complete fucking idiot and flame the shit out of you when our opinions differ in meaningless ways? Please don't. When you do that you just look like a... well... a complete fucking idiot. Once I realize I'm reading a flame, I stop reading anyway.

I'd like to thank anyone bothering to read my inane opinions and I hope that good things will come of it. Let me know what you think, especially if I change your life. I'm sure that sort of thing is bound to happen sooner or later!
