About a year ago, I was driving home from work, thinking about becoming 30. I thought about what it meant that I, and many others I knew, still played games at this time in our lives. Board games, video games, card games, whatever we could sit around and talk and play. Then I wondered if anybody would be interested in reading about my life as a 30 year old gamer. An idea was born: Video, Gaming at 30. My tag is Video, you can combine Video with Gaming and come up with Video Gaming, I thought it was clever at the time.
My first article went up a year ago tonight. It was short, who I was and a promise to take you through what it was like to try to keep life juggled with a love of gaming. Unfortunately, I'm not that clever or funny to have kept it going on a regular basis. What did happen, though, was that I began covering games and reviewing them from the perspective of somebody who doesn't have all the time in the world to figure out what they should play and what they should avoid. Reviews from the vantage point of somebody who had to pay for a mortgage and the latest console. And not just video games, but all kinds of games, and places where we could go play games too, like GenCon (still one of my most popular articles).
Over the last year, the site has evolved into what it is now. Once or twice a week, something new is added. Whether it be a new game review, something that's been around for awhile, an article about what's coming out next month, or just how to be a better gamer, they're all born from my perspective, our perspective as adult gamers.
Thank you, to all of my followers. I love seeing how people find the site. I've attracted Magic players, Indie Gamers, True Dungeon larpers, console and PC gamers, and who knows how many more. I love seeing all the countries they come from, and all of the search terms used that somehow find something here on this site. You all give me reason to keep writing, and so I'll be here for another year, gaming at 30(ish), sharing my experiences with you all.
Happy Gaming.
