AND WELCOME!

I've been staring at the "click here to create your own community blog" button for almost a year now. I've been an avid Destructoid reader for a little over a year now, as it has become my main choice for gaming news and geeky paraphernalia. I'm a podcast junkie, I'm in love with all of the Dtoid podcasts. It's been really great "getting to know" some of the editors and contributing writers that make up Destructoid. They have made my long drives to work very enjoyable. On that note, I'm very excited to finally start posting, because I know that this first step is really the hardest one to make. I enjoy writing, but I never really considered myself good at it, at least good enough for people to read. I remember getting a lot of criticisms in college about too many "run on sentences", stupid college. Alas! This isn't college! College is done, and my new life as a Dtoid community blogger has begun, my life is now complete.

Well not really, then there wouldn't be much point in writing now would there be?


I guess this first blog post will consist of info about me, my little blogography. My name is Nick, I'm from Tulsa, Oklahoma but live in Norman, OK (go OU!) I work in Oklahoma City for the Oklahoma Conservation Commission as the Information Systems Network Management Specialist (awesomely long title). I'm 24, been an avid gamer since the Legend of Zelda, but really bloomed when I played Final Fantasy 3 (6).


I think that is all I'll cover today, but at least once a day I'd like to update with more structure. I'm glad to have shared a bit about myself, introducing myself to the community a bit more officially. I've always enjoyed the other commenters / forum posters / question askers on the various podcasts, and am excited to join your strong forces.


PS, I'm leaning on focusing my blog around PC gaming. It seems that the poor PC crowd is left out of the gaming blog loop. It's a smaller community than it used to be, but I'd be happy to add to it. I also own most of the other consoles, my favorite being the DS, and spending a lot of time playing some PS3. I enjoy most games though (sorry not a sports guy though), and I do expect that the blog will go on several tangents as I see fit. Expect awesomeness. That is all.
