What happens when you open that old chest in the attic

*Creek* What's in in here? *Blow away dust* *Cough-Cough* Aw man a old dusty blog. I wonder how long this has been sitting here untouched? I bet it has been decades, or at least a few weeks. I wonder what happened? Did the writer lose focus? Get busy? Die? I bet he went on vacation, had a really bad internet connection and a lot of other things to do. And when he came back there was so much to catch up on it fell by the wayside. But now that it's unearthed it can regain it's sucessfulness once again! And I'm just the guy to do it!

Let's see, it was left off on what seems like an exciting adventure spanning 30 days in which the writer was bearing his soul on the page from his video game past. We can continue that easily! Only problem is that we don't know what the rest of the topics were going to be...

I guess we will just have to create some of our own with the magic of wordsmithery.

Let's see... How about something like the saddest game moment?! That sounds like a great topic. And we could even touch on Game with the Best Story. Oh yeah baby this is doable. I'm going to get started right away... well after I finish dusting this old thing off, it's really quite dirty. *Dust-Dust*Type-Type*

Hey all. I hope you enjoyed that little bit there. Really I am sorry for the long absences. Although a lot of you don't comment or anything, I see the page views and a good amount of people seem to read this when I'm actually posting. Surprisingly some people even read this while I'm not posting. But I'm back, and as many of you know I'm really using this blog as a spring board to try and land a freelance videogame journalism job. I really get out of it what I put into it. So this no input, no output thing doesn't leave me in a good spot. So I'm back from vacation, back from not having my computer set up for about a whole week, and back into blogging. I still have a lot to say so I'm not going anywhere any time soon. I'll be continuing the 30 day challenge, but as you can tell it's not going to get finished before the end of July so I'll just have to chug along at my own pace. I seem to have gone into rambling mode so I'll be going before I get too boring.

But first, I wanted to let you all know that I have started to participte in a podcast. What's it about? Videogames of course! I'm currently co-hosting it so check it out. We have recorded two episodes and posted one so far. Right now it's just on Youtube, but hopefully we will get it on iTunes and other platforms for those of you like me that listen to podcasts else where. The podcast is named Beer and Bacon Gaming. Beer and Bacon is a group of gamers that I started chatting with and subsequently asked to be on thier podcast. I don't drink beer and don't really eat bacon, so the name isn't really too appealing to me. But the game conversation is real so that's what I'm in for.



I fully admit this first podcast isn't the greatest. The second one is much better but still not that great. It's a learning process, just like the blog has been. So I hope you can enjoy it, and try to catch later episodes because they can only improve.

I'm off for now, but hopefully I'll see you tomorrow for more gaming.
Cheers!

PrE3 - What we know and predictions

This article was featured in the latest issue of Wingman Magazine. Check out this preview and for the full piece support this local publication and grab a digital copy.  http://www.wingmanmagazine.com E3 is the biggest games show of the year, each year bringing the biggest announcements and painting the gaming landscape for the next twelve or more. In this internet age, it's hard to keep things under wraps, so a lot of companies will divulge, or unfortunately get leaked their plans, but we are always a fan of a good surprise. So here is everything we know about E3, and then some pretty good guesses that we hope will come true. I’m going to break this down by publisher because they each have a big presentation where most of their announcements will happen. Microsoft Microsoft made waves this year by moving their big showing up from their typical Monday time slot to Sunday 5PM Eastern time and beat out the other big competitors. Being a console maker, this show is guarant

Day 2 - Favorite Character

Now you'd think that I'd put some thought into this before I start typing, but I just woke up and saw today's writing prompt. And when I say writing prompt I mean my writing prompt. If you want to join in and do this 30 day challenge you don't need to do such a big spectical as I am doing. The other guys I know that have done it just did a picture and a sentence or two. So it's pretty free form, don't feel boxed in. But on to my favorite character. For the longest time I played RPG's pretty exclusively, which lends its self to some great stories and in turn some great characters. Final Fantasy VI was one of my first RPG's and I loved  one of the main characters, Locke. He was a pretty bad ass guy. Mario games have always been fun, but there isn't much to his character. Having played all the Halo games pretty religiously I never connected with Master Chief either. I feel like most of the games I play now are more about the game mechanics than the ch

30 Day Videogame Challenge

Hey all! Here is the surprise you have all been waiting for. Actually quick quiz, how many people reading this actually were looking forward to this surprise? Leave a one word comment below if you could. You can comment anonymously so you all have no excuse. Back to what I was saying, the big surprise is that I'm going to do the 30 Day Videogame Challenge. It's not as challenging as the title sounds, but fun none the less. A few friends of mine did this what must have been a year ago, and I told them all I would do it too. So here I am, fulfilling that promise. The 30 Day Videogame Challenge is a list of videogame moments that I'm going to tailor to my own life. The first one is "What was your first videogame?" They are not terribly hard, but it's nice to look back on all the games I have played in my life and tell that story. So to kick things off "What was your first videogame?" Obviously thinking back this far is a bit tough. I mean I was
