The Game Scholar Gets Mad

Okay, now this is getting rather annoying. I want to try and maintain a blog with an intellectual spin on the topic of video games, but apparently with no money, no day job, and no major support to back this kind of a blog, this is a rather futile effort.

And frankly it makes me a bit angry that I can't share my passion for games online because of these stupid real life setbacks.

But that's okay! Apparently anger is the new hotness these days! Just look at the plethora of angry people cursing and swearing online about this and that. Just watch these!

!!!WARNING - Some of these people swear like a sailor!!!

First up, Ben "Yahtzee" Croshaw:

Now while Yahtzee may swear up and down more times than a kangaroo on a pogo stick, his wit and intelligent insight along with his hate everything attitude has made him the top of the town. If he wasn't good at this kind of thing, then he wouldn't have been asked to present at this year's GDC (Game Developer's Conference). His work is even previewed on Cable TV shows such as X-Play each week!

Speaking of X-Play, that leads us to other ranter and raver, NOT as foul-mouthed as Yahtzee, but still highly amusing, Adam Sessler!

He hosts a TV show on video games, gets to try them out for free, and then gives his blunt opinions with humor, wit, and enough biting sarcasm to give frostbite.

But unlike the above two, it's not necessary to be sponsored by a fully sponsored webzine, or have a cable TV show, as proven by the man known only as the Angry Video Game Nerd!

Behold the majestic foul language, the pissed off rantings and ravings, the frustration, and most of all, the CHAOS!

SCREW law and order! Give us mayhem and chaos anyday! Why go with the safe and sterile when you can cut loose, get mad, and tear the things you love apart because sometimes they hurt you too!

So now that I've given my two cents on the subject, I've decided that I like it and want in! So from here on out, I intend to provide a married, poor, video game loving man's take on the games he loves, the industry he loves, and how life in general pisses all over him. First, I'll need to think of a catchy title. Hopefully, I'll be able to think of something soon. In the meanwhile, enjoy the rage!
