  Bought Fallout 3

  Yes! Fallout 3 is Mine! I finally got around to purchasing it, but alas, I won't get around to playing it until late tonight.

  While University demands dictate due dilligence I will soon have room for some fallout dilliigence of my own!

  If anyone who reads this has played it, let me know what you think!

  Becoming a Blogger...

  The appeal of blogging is great, I can tell.

  I mean, I suppose it's the effigy of real free speech, isn't it? After all, we all get to go on the internet, and, in relative anonymity, we get to speak our minds, gain 'followers' and nay-Sayers, and generally have our time up on the soap box. Now, I just wanted to say, as my first 'blog' entry that, I do indeed believe that blogging might be our first real taste of freedom of speech.

  Without anonymity, many a politician must choose his words carefully, often truncating his beliefs so as to remain wholesome. The same goes for teachers, news anchors, or just anyone inside an industry that gets paid to speak. Of course, once you speak out in the open, whether getting paid to speak, or as a well known Icon, you suddenly become accountable for whatever it is you say. You become scrutinized to the point where it affects your life.

  Now, that's not to say we bloggers, who are fast creating our own internet identities are not held accountable or scrutinized by others; because, we are. The difference though, of course, is that the scrutiny, joking or even anger at our expense incurred via being a blogger doesn't haunt us anywhere but on the net.

  With that in mind (as likely obvious as the concept was), I plan to begin blogging, about games, life, concepts, theories, and whatever the hell else interests me that I think users at Gamespot may care to read.

  So, here's to a plane of existence known as the internet that exists separately from real-world consequence

  Here's to my first taste of real freedom of speech, with no strings of outside pressures, or real-world word-mincing.

  Yes,

  Here's to blogging.

  Thanks everyone.
