Well folks, here we go, the blog is back! I'm reinstating the daily post schedule, as I tend to go all or nothing on these things. So, everyday I'm going to post SOMETHING. It may not be long or particularly profound, but it will be something.
Why am I bringing back the blog? A few reasons... First, it's a great excuse to quit playing World of Warcraft for an hour or so. I probably play that game far too much. Also, it's good writing practice for writing something other than game reviews. It's funny... I really hate writing reviews lately, but I can't imagine NOT doing it. On some level, I like seeing my name attached to something I wrote because it gives me a sense of false importance. I know my little reviews don't really mean anything, but I get free games and industry people answer my e-mail. The Mac games industry is full of really awesome people, but obviously if the reviews stopped, nobody would think twice about me. That's just reality. Lastly, as one might surmise from the last few sentences, I figure the blog could be used cathardically. Lately, I've been in a really bad mood. I find myself wigging on people for no decent reason. While I'm doing it I even think to myself, "Dude, shut the fuck up. Nobody needs you spouting your persistent melancholy.", but I do it anyway. Stress always ends up going somewhere, whether one wants it to or not. So, MAYBE if I write things down here I won't randomly visit my often Caulfield-esque mood upon others. People say they don't mind, but I know it's no fun.
That's it for now. Goodnight and good noodles!
