This is the first next step to, what I hope will be, a career in the video game industry. What am I planning to do with this blog? A bit of everything, really. Anything from interesting articles, to thoughts about things I’ve seen and even what I’m working on currently. Before I run on and get ahead of myself, let me introduce a bit of what I’m about. To say that I’ve always played games is somewhat an understatement; I’ve played games since the age of 5, starting with Super Mario Bros. on the NES and haven’t stopped since then. Where am I now? Well, I’m at the beginning, the very beginning of getting into the gaming industry, well not completely… I was co-producing a videogame podcast (http://pstp.podbean.com) That’s probably the first instance where I really began thinking critically about games and started wondering about what makes games ‘tic.’ Career wise, this is a clean slate. I don’t have any formal, or informal for that matter, education in programming or design but I do have a drive to learn more and grow in this industry. I won’t be too much longer winded than this since this is only the first post of many. This is the next step on the road to pressing start…!
