About Me
Konnichiwa!

My name is James. By day I am a freelance copywriter and editor. While the perks of this job are getting to sleep 'til 2pm and working in my underwear, I've learned far more about hemorrhoid cream and proper swimming pool chlorination than I ever care to.

I guess you could say I'm a "former" video game "journalist" (though I wouldn't call myself the J word). I am the former Editor-in-Chief of Binge Gamer and I spent time writing at other blogs. I gave it up because while I love gaming and the gaming industry, I just didn't have the constitution to run my own business.

Not at the age of 23, anyways.

Let's see... apart from that I'm prior service US Army (Military Police), a stand-up comedian, a connoisseur of soft drinks and I once wrestled a cheetah.

I was victorious.

God told me to write a blog...

...and here it is. Now that I have appeased God, I'mma go watch Rambo: First Blood Part II.

Here's a question for you all, however -- if you were writing a paper for your Political Science class, and were focusing on how Politicians were trying to censor or outright ban certain games from being sold, what would be a good example to include? I'm being serious -- that's what I'm spending my Friday on.

Manhunt2, Grand Theft Auto, pretty much all videogames in general because politians have no clue what they're talking about, so they should just STFUAJPG's anyways.

Oh hey content, how novel. Night Trap, and Mortal Kombat are classic examples. Also Death Race 2000, released in 1976, is one of the first examples of a game removed from the market due to outrage.

Well, Bush said God put him on office. That's the final nail on the coffin. God's dead to me and he's forever a jerk.

We love Maximus , Bans, don't be fooled. Though they're giving him shit one day, doesn't mean he won't have material the next that will be relevant to our intrests.

Hey, we all get shit sometimes. I give, say Snaileb shit one day, he turns around and gives it right back. The key is that we don't take it personal.

GOD DAMN YOU STUPID SON OF A BITCH I HATE YOU WITH THE PASSION OF A THOUSAND CHRIS CROCKERS DIE DIE DIE YOU WORTHLESS SACK OF SHIT.

Oh hey MaximusPaynicus, welcome to the clogs.

Death Race, Mortal Kombat, Manhunt, Postal are all good examples... Tristero wrote a clog before he was hired on about how years ago politicians were trying to ban Pinball Machines, that could be useful to show how silly things look from the distance of a few decades.
