A news post

I've recently been inspired by that same French excellence to make more news posts.  After all, this blog kind of appeared from the mist and started generating reviews of mostly obscure games.  Because the world needs another video game review site, right?

Well, first for our purpose.  We're mostly going to be writing video game reviews, but not with the end goal of becoming the new Gamespot.  No sir, we live to entertain.  Our reviews may be less professional, or perhaps more professional depending on where you normally get your reviews, but they'll always be a pleasure to read.  A reaaaal pleasure. You've probably noticed that GZ doesn't put any sort of summary and I just tell you whether or not to wait for a price drop.  We believe that, while numbers can be useful in day to day life, the current state of game reviews is such that almost every game is between 70 and 80, and that's stupid and not useful.  Thus we shy away from that system and instead explain games in our own zany way.  It's not so much a matter of breaking the mold as it is having a reason to exist.

We'll also, eventually, be writing "articles" such as this one.  Think of them as things we make when we want to write something but don't have anything to review.  I keep comparing and contrasting Goblin Axis with Cracked to GZ, so I'll do it again here.  The articles will be random crap we spew out much like Cracked does.  Enjoy spew.  I really can't say for certain what to expect.  At the moment the idea of writing a short story about some arbitrary topic seems asinine but all it takes is a sharp wit to make it asiten.

And finally, flashes.  We'll make them.   Maybe.  There's a program called Anime Studio which sounds like it's designed to make terrible Naruto fan fiction.  It kind of is.  It's also a fully functional swf-making program though, so look forward to the day I finally decide to try it out and see if it's worth buying.  If not our only other choice that I know of would be to get Flash from Adobe, which...no.  I'm not going to do that.  The dollars, they are too numerous.  Don't expect them to be great, but if my past tells me anything it's that they'll be charming in their own way.  Are you familiar with the concept of wabi sabi, the Japanese term that means flaws that add character to something?  Well our flashes are going to have such unrelenting quantities of wabi sabi that you may throw up.

GA is still a work in progress but we actually have a good deal of experience with this kind of thing.  Why, our previous site was so terrible that we vowed never to fill the internet with such crapulence ever again.  That's good news for you, the consumer.  Expect things to get better and better with each passing second until eventually we hit critical smile mass and then something happens.  But really what I mean is expect the site to evolve until we're satisfied.  The layout may change but the content will continue to be us writing words that we make into things people want to read.   Also terrible cartoons.

This post feels like it's a rambling, incoherent mess, but it's 3 AM.  I'm tired enough that I'm just kind of typing whatever the voice in my head says, but I'm lucid enough to know to make this disclaimer.  Lucky you.  And with that, I sleep.
