i really hate doing this...

...and i hope i'm posting this in the right spot... but anyway!

Hello DU!

I've started keeping up a little blog about the world of video games and my take on breaking news within the video game world. It's a politics-free zone (the way i see it, it's an escape for me from the every day goings on in the world of politics), and I do try and keep things pretty positive. Basically, I keep my finger on the pulse, so you don't have to :)

Thank you all for your time!

1. Nice blog!

Not a gamer myself (I have a Mac, and you know the meme,) but I'll try to keep in touch. :thumbsup:

4. Thank you very much!

I appreciate the feedback greatly!

BTW- The Mac's got plenty of options for gaming! You've got Steam installed, right?!

5. LOL, nope.

I play some games on my iPad, though. :) Like 'Settlers.' Yeah, but I like it. There's Command&Conquer, too! I so loved to edit the settings, my snipers were using nukes! W00t!

2. Wow, that looks great!

Will you be previewing the new Alice game? We just pre-ordered it from Amazon and cannot wait! We have the old one for Mac and have played the hell out of it.

3. Thank you!

I played the original Alice so much as well, so I'm rather excited for the next one. I don't have any connections to any of the publishers, I'm just an avid gamer, so I won't be able to play or write about the next Alice game early. I'll certainly post any videos and info i find before though!

Thanks again!

6. Can you recommend a good strategy game?

More in the line of Axis & Allies.

I don't particularly like the shooting and racing games.

Check out the Civilization game series, or any of the Total War series (Like Rome: Total War). You could get Civ 3 or 4 for rather cheap now I'm sure and have a REALLY amazing game to play. I've lost entire weekends to Civ heh

OR! If you'd like more Real-Time Sims - Starcraft, or say Command & Conquer
