Gamer At Heart: 1 Year Later


It's already been a year since I made this blog, of coarse I kept changing the name of it because nothing really satisfied me. Hopefully I will keep Caffeine Addicted Gamer. It is not only the year since I created my blog. But with a lot of pinching and fast postings, I managed to make this post my 100th post.

It all started a year ago when a personal blog of mine accidentally got deleted when I was trying to save the settings. I was thinking about abandoning Blogger because of this, but due to hard times that were happening in my personal life. I decided to make another blog dedicated to mostly my interest, video games to help me keep my mind off certain things. I didn't know how long this blog would last and it wasn't till recently that I started taking it more seriously and gave it a new remodeled layout.

One of my favorite blogs out there that inspired me to do my own blog is American McGee's blog. I think he is an really intelligent person with his observation and strong feelings from stories, folklore, and video games.
I also like Girls Don't Game mostly for their articles I can relate to. They talk about games in old and new, which I wish more blogs would be like. Because reviewing new released games are over rated.

I also find videos from The Angry Video Game Nerd to be some of the best. But in all comparisons, I would have to say I like That Guy With The Glasses a.k.a. Nostalgia Critic. Mostly because I too dwell in the past, missing the good old days of movies and games.
My favorite Nostalgia Critic episodes are The Wizard, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Movie, The Top 11 Naughtiest Moments in Animaniacs, and Captain Planet.

Why do I play video games? I've been playing games back since I can remember, earliest game that I loved and still do is Mario Bros. 3. Back then I was nothing more then a casual gamer, and due to past events it eventually led up to what I am right now. I don't know where I am, I'm not hardcore but I'm not casual either.

I also have a special thanks going to Peter Chen, his blog helped so much with my own.
