I'm Back Bitches!

It has been a while since I have posted to my backwater blog. Things went off the hook at work, lots of games to play, and I am just generally lazy. I also found that while I was pretty good at the whole writing thing, or so I was told, posting about random things seemed kinda aimless. I could do movie, game or TV show reviews, but you can get that kind of shit anywhere. However, in the last few months several games have come out that have made me take a hard look at the industry as a whole, while at the same time look around to see what is missing in the daily gaming news and commentary. I found something to be lacking, a State of the Union for gaming, from a gamers perspective.

Several times some of the larger websites have done a State of the Union for gaming, usually during one of the big conferences. However these articles usually ask the VP of marketing for one of the big companies what they think is missing from the gaming industry, or some bullshit like that. Who Cares? Seriously, does anyone care what some suit at a company thinks that the gaming industry needs? Besides they say the same shit every time. Innovation, appealing to a wider selection of gamers, whatever they think is wrong with gaming. These responses always contain a slant on how their company is trying to fix whatever problems they say exist.

Some of the gaming blogs do a news roundup every week, and then the readers of said blog provide commentary on events, and that is all fine. But there still seems to be something missing. So, my semi-amateur gaming ass is going to attempt to find what is missing, and root it out for the gaming public to point and laugh at. I will probably fail, as someone else has tried this, and failed, because if they had succeeded then Google would have found them. So expect a new post soon, followed by a new post at least once a month. Lots of shit has gone down in the gaming industry in the last few months, and as we all know, shit rolls downhill. Us gamers are covered in it.
