Re-introductions

Well Hello there! Welcome to what is to be my brand new *sparkling* gaming blog, some of you may know me or my writing from previous blogs or various websites, but for those who don't here is a brief look at me and my history.

Lets start a number of years ago, back when i used to be good at games.
This, surprisingly, was a little over 3 years ago, i used to be a counter strike player, an RPG player, a racing game player, you name it, i was awesome at it, then i stumbled upon a very strange game, it went by the name of world of war craft.

The thing that made this game strange was the fact that i sucked at it, to be blatantly fair and honest, so i set about playing it as long and as often as possible to become to as good as i could possibly be, this was 3-freaking-years ago, If you have played war craft for any amount of time you can probably relate to what I'm about to say, That game is god damn addictive, its like a drug without criminal implications, one that gives longer highs for almost as much money.

yeah! that's another thing! money, i have poured Farr to much money down the drain of that game, 3 years of subscriptions expansions and other costs comes to well over £400! If somebody had told me on the day of purchase that i would lose all of what remained of my social life, my gaming skills AND £400 i would probably have told them to F**k-right-off, since no game is worth that. right?

And here's the clincher, it kinda was worth it, in the end. I have made such awesome friends during my time in the world of Azeroth that leaving them behind has been extremely hard. A very VERY wise man once said this to me, "nothing we do in this game will last, gear is nice but will mean nothing eventually all we can take from this game is our memories and experiences" He was right, so i have left with a bucket load of good memories and friends. Quitting War craft is probably the hardest thing i have done in my gaming career but it is something that has to be done, playing the same game for three years just isn't healthy in the long run.

So here i stand, £400 lighter but with a whole trunk load of experiences with me. Ready to get back started into the world of gaming, over the next couple of months i plan on playing as many games as a possibly can afford to, both to money and time constraints. and as i play ill be posting up my general thoughts about what i happen to be playing at the time. I'm not a qualified game critic - nor am i payed for anything i happen to review, so what you are going to be getting is a whole lot of me. My thoughts. My experiences of the games that i play, and hopefully along the way i will pick back up some of the gaming skills that i used to posses.

Its going to be a fun time in the next couple of months, i can feel it.

So, for the first time, Quincey - Signing off.
