Well. Here I am. A new place, a different time. Writing a blog. What the hell is that about? Regardless... In my mission to spew forth all the foul, boring, uninformed, uncouth and completely opinionated crude drivel that originates from within the confines of my dark insides I have decided to do a periodical blog on this site. I came across this place one day at work, forgot about it and then rediscovered it last night. My stuff isn't really as bad as the aforementioned would mislead you in to thinking. You see I am all about deception. It's all part of my game. Or something. Maybe I was lying just then as well? Smoke and mirrors people. That's what it is all about. I come from a background which was rich with passionate journalism, creative writing, dabbles in film making and a strong desire to create music. Some of these I still do... although things definately went downhill when I followed the money into IT and realised there wasn't much money and barely any IT. Since making this fateful decision I have kept my hands and sanity in check by keeping up the writing and the music. I play guitar and compose through keyboards using a computer workstation, and I from time to time write for commercial sites and my own as well. My main focus is gaming, although I am also haunted by something twisted inside me that sends me off on the most obtuse rantings one could imagine. It's messed up. But it's pretty awesome at the same time. I've been trying to get serious again and actually make an effort to have some focus on the games so that I can share information with others interested in this beloved way of life. So. I will be back with something meaningful. Enjoy. In the meantime if you want to check out some of my other writings (in case you were thinking about checking in again and wanted to see what one such as myself would bring to the table) then you can see the link to my own site below. Extreme anger (and the lack of will to publicise) is currently preventing me from showing you works elsewhere. I don't know what the rules are regarding advertising other sites on here but I figure because this isn't really in direct competition with nzgamer that it should be ok. Please, if not then tell me otherwise. You will notice it hasn't been updated for some time. until the next one, batking. www.deathlyfantastic.co.nz
