So Jenn has finally kinda coerced me into writing a blog. I’ve never really been able to keep up on one of these things before, (I tend to lose interest in them very quickly) but she’s been hounding me to try again so she can get a little peek into my innermost thoughts. I wouldn’t think they’re really all that interesting, but she wants to know, and I think I might have something to say, so I’ll give it a whirl.

I figure that I can use this space to try to talk about some of the things that interest me, specifically games and game related stuff. Jenn usually doesn’t have much interest in talking about it, but I know from her that some of the readers of her blogs do. Hopefully I’ll have some kind of audience for this stuff. In any case, I’ll be able to toss out a few of my thoughts and maybe she might even get a better clue of what makes me tick.

So anyway, I plan to try writing at least once a day even if I don’t have a whole lot to say at once. I’ll probably just pick a topic that’s been on my mind lately and say something about that. Since this is supposed to be game-related, I’m going to start by listing a few of my gaming tendencies and preferences.

Currently I’m playing a lot of Final Fantasy XI online. I love the Final Fantasy series in general (in fact, I’m working on playing through the whole series one by one- working on FFIV now), but this one here has been the biggest time-sink for me. Ask Jenn about it, I’m sure she’s bitched a lot about the time I’ve wasted on it. Anyway, I’m pretty big on RPGs. I can’t really explain why, but the whole system and story tends to draw me in a lot more any any other types of games. I do like a bit of action and adventure too (God of War was fun, can’t wait to get the sequel) but not as much as RPGs. Strategy games are nice too, but I prefer ones that don’t get too complex.

Oh, I might as well mention what systems I’ve got. I’ve got my computer (of course), but I usually don’t do a lot of PC gaming. I prefer consoles, such as my PS2. That one’s my favorite simply because of the sheer variety of games it’s got. Been having a blast with Guitar Hero lately. Even Jenn likes that one. I’ve also got a GameCube, but not a huge amount of games for it. I do a little bit of retro gaming (NES, SNES, etc) but I dislike using emulators if I can help it. Hopefully at some point in the future I’d like to get a PS3 and a Wii, but that’s a pretty hefty price tag right now. I’d even like an XBox 360, but that’s just over the top.

Anyway, I’ve rambled on enough for now so I think I’ll start on a new post tomorrow. I’ll probably end up saying something about FFXI or World of Warcraft, but I’m not sure yet. If anyone has a comment or question, please feel free to leave a comment or email me and I’ll try to talk about it. See ya later!
