This is not going to be much of a blog. All the blogs I've read are people whining about various things, their opinions that everyone should follow or some other take on life. This probably is all three of those-me whining about certain games and my opinions on those, which should be written in stone.
Now that the opening is out of the way, we can get to what is important...games. I might not always talk about games of the video sort, but that will be the focus. It's not for all people. Those who dress up as their favorite Final Fanstasy character or have a skin tone lighter than mine probably will want me burned at the stake for the things I'll say on here. This article, blog, newsletter, journal, Bible or whatever you want to call it is meant for the people who play videogames casually or when they can. I work 40+ hours a week, 10 hours a day, four days a week plus overtime, on the night shift. I do not have time to play 100's hours of games and still have a social life. Well, that's a lie. I don't have a social life anyway. I want to play the best games for the stories and for the fun. I don't want to play the same boss 40 different times or spend countless hours trying to figure out a puzzle. I want to get through the game with the precious time I have so I can get the full effect of the game. Sure I might put in a cheat code here and there on certain single player games (never cheat online, though), but it's so I can do what the devlopers wanted the buyer to do: play the game for a fun time.
Personally, spending hours upon hours running in circles pushing crates around to open up the secret door to get the magic wand to beat the boss that I'll play 40 times to beat isn't my idea of fun. So this will help the working and casual gamers alike find those games that they can play without having to worry about not seeing daylight for a week and getting fired. I'll review those games I think are good games that can be beat fairly easy, quickly or well worth it. Some of you might not agree with this I'm sure, but those of you who don't agree with this, don't you have to go dress up as a Final Fantasy character? More to come soon...
