My name is John, I’m in my early twenties and wanted a place to write about games. I have a large collection of games and play them in no specific order. For the most part, my articles will focus on my first impressions of a game, usually based on a demo, and my final impressions of a game. I enjoy video games and buy them on the cheap regularly, so most of what I write about won’t be current, but I will write about many interesting video games. For more information, read this post.
Also…
I work in the produce department of a grocery store and have recently wanted to begin eating produce related items more often and cook more. It’ll be beneficial not just to me for the obvious reason of eating healthier, but to the customers who shop where I work as I’ll be better informed through experience. But maybe I won’t write about produce so much huh?

Hey John,
Jeff here. Early twenties as well, avid gamer, musician and comic nerd. I enjoyed the reviews I read keep it up man.

Hey John, I just got introduced to you at the convention today, at the gaming panel.
I’m really slow going on certain things, a lot when it comes to working on games. Graphically, or musically, I don’t think my video games will have near as much polish as I like, my skills are lacking in musical ability (decent at mental composing), or artistic talent (some idea of design or personality in art). But I try to get almost everything done, it’s difficult. I’m rather thorough, and again, I stick to viewing the game as it shows in a whole and the most unforgiving things kind of shine through.
But in this I’m particularly passionate about games in general (all genres), and I could talk about them for hours. I just like the idea of people coming together on games in the way they have for the last 30 or so years, that to me speaks bounds of what the legacy of gaming will be for my kids, or kid’s kids. People making entertainment in this fashion will probably keep me coming back until I die, really.
I don’t think I’ll be buried with any games though, maybe eventually hand them over to a grandson.

Hello, John!
I came to this blog from Giantbomb, or more specifically your profile.
I came across it while I was researching Seaman. Your blog posts were listed under the game description and out of curiosity I gave it a read. I found it to be incredibly compelling.
I don’t know what it is, I think it’s, in a way, the frank nature of your writing. It’s so straight forward that I never feel as if you are too opinionated in your words, the same as when I read your reviews. You just say what’s on your mind, like you said, which makes it a very honest and interesting read. It’s refreshing. I like your writing a lot.
I hope this isn’t too presumptuous of me to ask but is there any way you can do a blog or something of the sort like you did with your seaman blog? I enjoyed it immensely reading your thoughts and progress in a game. I’d love to share with friends the pleasure I got from reading your journey through seaman.
Until then (or not if you choose not to) I will enjoy following your blog here.

I’d love to attempt a blog with a format like Seaman again, I even started trying with Grandia but it wasn’t the same. I think for it to work well like that, the game would need to be somewhat subjective and the main character couldn’t talk or share their feelings, as I’d take the main character’s role and write from their perspective about what’s going on.
Would you have any recommendations for a possible game? Also, what’s your username on Giant Bomb?
