First Entry

Everyone has a voice on the internet these days. Blogs are everywhere. Podcasts are becoming ubiqitous and destroying bandwidth budgets from here to Russia.

So, I will add my own $0.02 to the mountain of matter that has become the blog "space".

The basic concept for my blog is simple. I will add my own thoughts on the video game industry based on what I see, hear and read. I am not a "hardcore" gamer. I own an XBox and maybe a dozen titles if that. I hardly play any of them, because like most XBox players that have not been assimilated by the phenomenon known as WoW, I am a Halo addict. I belong to a website called 2old2play.com where other likeminded adults congregate. I've even started my own clan for people who embarass themselves every time they pick up the controller (like me).

A bit about my background : I am a Senior Financial Analyst at a major retailer. My college education started with Pre-Med and ended with Economics. The need to finish in four years can make strange bedfellows of different majors.

A couple topics I would like to touch on in future posts are mostly related to my background in economics : the current state and future of the videogame marketplace from an economist's point of view and subscription friends.

I have somewhat of a thin skin when it comes to negative feedback, so if flaming is one of your favorite pastimes, kindly move along to someone else's blog.

Thanks in advance to all for the visits.
