You're a What-What?

Oh dear... the first post. I always worry about the first post of a blog... if it's good then it can set the tone for the rest of the blog, if it's bad... well then, is your blog doomed to failure? I always think I should be saying something profound, something that will set the tone for the rest of the posts that are yet to come, something that will rock the socks of anyone who reads it and keeps them coming back for more. I, sadly, am not a writer and so the first post of this blog is going to be a simple introduction.

Hi.

No, that’s not it, there is more and it goes something like this…

I’m a gamer; mostly. I am the typical non-elite (non-l337) gamer that you find lurking in the back of Incredible Corruption, sifting through the latest titles, avoiding eye contact with the true blue-blooded Elite Gamer. I wouldn’t call myself a PC gamer, although I do spend a fair amount of time on my PC playing The Sims 2. I’m a console gamer, owning a Playstation 2 (PS 2), Nintendo Wii and more recently a PSP (Sony Playstation Portable).

So why do I call myself a non-l337 gamer? Well, that's an easy one to answer... Gaming is a pass-time for me, not an obsession. Being a relatively exclusive console gamer also means that I am not the type of person to buy the lastest PC hardware to support the latest and greatest PC game. I also tend to stick to a certain genre of game; that being either RPG (normally Japanese-based... Final Fantasy and the like) or action-adventure (Tomb Raider, Ratchet and Clank, etc...) I am, by no means, an expert on gaming, nor am I a game reviewer. I play games because I enjoy playing games. Does that make me a gamer? Perhaps... Does that make me a l337 gamer? Most definitely not.

So the posts that follow will be my non-expert opinion / commentary on what I’m playing at the moment, and generally what’s out there that interests me.
