Hello to all who find this blog.
This will be a blog with a simple premise. I will review books, papers, and articles I read (and believe are worth sharing), as well as games I enjoy.
In my reviews of written pieces, I will focus on the text of what is written in the piece. For books and other similar documents, I will cite pages being referenced, demonstrating two priorities of mine: 1) I actually read the piece, and 2) allow quick reference for other readers to possibly follow my analysis more clearly. Additionally, a major goal of mine in these reviews is to write summaries of my reviews to serve as reminders of the major points and themes in the pieces. I aim to keep them to a single printed page, but I won't make any promises.
In my review of games, I will lay out aspects I love, aspects I loathe, and everything in between. Obviously all games have different designs and priorities, so expect my reviews to cover the layouts of games. As for spoiling story elements of a game, I suppose I will try out spoiler/ no spoiler segments.
The most exciting part of this new venture for me is that I have no expectations. Whether other people enjoy my reading or not, I am looking to write out my thoughts. If others can criticize those thoughts in a respectful manner, then my mind may change. And I will be thankful for anyone who puts in time to read what I write, and especially those who spend further time to try and further discussions on subjects I enjoy.
Obviously all opinions are my own.
Oxford commas will be used liberally, as that is clearly correct written English.
Thanks for reading this obligatory first written post.
