Left 4 Dead 2 Uncensored Box Cover Art
Brain drain. It’s as close to having brain damage as I’ve experienced. Feeling lethargic and sick for the past few days has put a severe damper on my ability to articulate myself at any decent length. Severely frustrating is the inability to come up with anything *reasonable* to talk about.
I mean, I write about games, and it shouldn’t be tremendously difficult for me to come up with something to say about a certain game or even a specific aspect of the game industry. It’s not as if I’m bereft of opinions when it comes to the subject as a broad whole.
Bah.
I’ve been considering a ‘daily blog’ of sorts on Hellforge, in addition to all the daily news that I usually post. I must admit that it is not without some trepidation that I’ve decided to go ahead and do it.
While it’s easy enough to write a blog, coming up with the titles is in itself a problematic little process that I often spend far too much time obsessing over when I could just as easily be writing a new blog or covering some other news.
A few questions remain: In addition to being a daily sort of thing, should it have a proper prefix with a description of what I’m writing about, e.g. “Epic Drop: Wolfenstein gets bad reviews, free DLCs for Dawn of War II and Battlefield 2” or should I just keep it short and snappy?
Keeping it short and snappy and probably vague seems like a grand idea (and akin to what Penny Arcade tends to do) but yet another issue arises: will people click on the topic to find out what it’s about? Ah, I suppose they’ll click on it anyway since it is a part of Hellforge, and I can always tweet about it. It’s not as if I don’t have five to ten thousand daily readers.
Hey, problem solved!
Team Fortress 2 never gets old.
This is my first real Tumblr post, having deleted the previous content, which only consisted of random images I’d used to embed in my gaming blog. I thought I might use this website as a place to express my thoughts without remorse. It wouldn’t be fit to ramble on about my daily goings-on at Hellforge or wherever else. While I’m certainly no stranger to blogging, this is the first time I’ve thought to commit myself to writing a personal blog.
Anyhow, I bought a laptop today. It’s one of those little notebooks with an Intel Atom processor that’s only good enough to read, write and play some music. It’s good enough for what I need it for—writing—and I felt no need to go out of my way or budget to get anything “better”. It’s this elegant looking machine all colored in metallic violet with a fancy pattern on the cover. I felt like I’d fallen in love with it the moment I saw it. While I’m not one to give pet names to my favorite things, I don’t think it’s too out of place to give the laptop a name. I’m calling this one “Rosarius” for obvious reasons.
I suppose that’s all for now. I’m sure I’ll use this space to share amusing images or make more postings about the things I feel worth sharing as they happen.
As for ‘stillgray’, what does it mean? It doesn’t mean anything. It’s just the name of a Pendulum song that somehow found itself stuck in my mind that I decided to go with when everything else seemed dull.
