Hey guys,
welcome to my first gaming blog. I thought a long time about starting one...and I guess this is it.

About myself:

Most information you already get from the 'about me' column over there --->
Gaming by far is my favorite hobby. I started of with "Space Invaders" on an old Apple 2 with the age of 5. During the early years I played primarily on PC (386, 486, P90) or at friends houses who had consoles (NES, SNES, Sega Genesis). The first console I owned myself was a N64 followed by a PS2 and nowadays a 360...I guess no one can call me a fanboy with that history^^. At heart, I'm still a PC gamer, though. I always enjoyed building my own "gaming rigs" and having lan parties with friends.
Besides the games, I'm also interested in the industry itself. The struggle between the major companies is kind of a RTS game in itself and, in my opinion, fun to watch.

I'm reading several gaming sites for years now...one of them is Destructoid.
Just recently I decided to get deeper into the community aspect and Destructoid seems to be by far the most community driven site on the intertubes. You will most likely find me chillin' in the chatroom on justin.tv/destructoid or one of my other "hang out spots". Shoutout to all the chillbros/-siss(?) out there. So here I am...hoping to have made a decent first impression.^^


About this blog:

Primarily I'll write this blog for my own sake, I always found that writing your thoughts on a topic down helps to give them structure...and since I think about that stuff anyway, why not write it down and see what others make of it.
I'll try to write at least one blog post a week. Since I'm interested in all things gaming, the topics might vary hugely. Some will deal with industrial aspects, some with psychological aspects, some with technical aspects and some with specific games.
The only things you won't find on this blog are game reviews. Those you can find all over the internet and most of them are subjective anyway.
I'll give you my honest opinion on the stuff I write about...If you agree/disagree on a topic, feel free to give me your opinion. I'm always open for discussion.

Next up: Can't touch this or why digital distribution is gaining ground

Everywhere I look, Chill Bros. Yuss! Looks real good, bro. I can't wait to see more.
Fellow Chill Bro and a fellow PC gamer! I love that combination! It's good to see new people to Destructoid C-Blogs. Looking forward to your next one.
WELCOME TO DTOID! IT'S DANGEROUS TO GO ALONE! TAKE THIS!


I've gone into chat in a few of the live shows so far, and it's pretty fun, and I'm glad to see you've made the jump to the blogs. You remind me a bit of myself from when I wrote my intro. I thought that I needed to have a strict blogging series/schedule, but I found that it was much more fun to relax and blog about whatever I thought would be fun. Also like you, I tried to do commentary-ish stuff about the industry, but that soon ended, too.

Please stay a while. If you blog well, will will love you and cherish you. Many a man has been crushed to death by our loving bear hugs.
Welcome to Destructoid: PULL UP YOUR SKIRT AND STRAP THAT DILDO ON.
Wow... very nice introduction! Welcome to Dtoid! (well, to the c-blogs anyway!) :)
Hello. Welcome to the c-blogs. Here is your decoder ring and a ball of twine dyed red with whale blood. Enjoy your time with us. Thrive here. We want your words and thoughts so that we may grow more beautiful than ever.
Well hello! Glad to have you on board. If you need anything, we're here to help. Like an absinthe spoon.
Nice intro, and I like the "up next" thing. That tells me you're a man with a plan. As a man who'd like to have a plan, that strikes me well. On your sidebar, I at first read "convicted beard-wearer". I would kinly request that you change the wording to that, for maximal effect.

These words are good, I'm hoping your next words will also be good, so we can give you due praise.
Welcome deeper into the bowels of the Dtoid community!
Hi and welcome to the blogs. I've run out of interesting things to say. It's a dangerously shallow reservoir. You have lovely facial hair.
