I really like getting to know people though I prefer internet friends because I never know what to do with my hands when I talk to people. That said I have a few questions for our lovely readers that I'm not sure even exist yet. Not that they don't exist as people but that they don't read the blog yet. I mean, the blog was a fetus just a few days ago. A figurative fetus. Moving swiftly onward!
Questions!
What was the first game (video game, card game, etc.) that you played seriously?
In game music or personal playlist?
Where are you from? Feel free to be vague. Stalking is more fun when it's a challenge.
I LOVE talking about myself so if you cuties have any questions or just wanna talk about your feelings feel free to ask here or on das Twitter.
Serious gamers and generally normal people might want to ask Iji some questions but I can't promise that I won't answer those too.
With inappropriate affection,
Ixi
Please note that the stalking bit was a joke. And even if it wasn't, I'd be too shy to show up to your house and watch you make sandwiches.

The Newbie Chronicles
This is a gaming blog but I'm not a gamer. Not yet, anyways.
I dabbled in a handful of games when I was small; first person shooters, turn-based, racing, rpg. Turns out I didn't know what I was doing and I certainly didn't know what being a gamer meant. With the help of crazy internet users both foreign and domestic and a guy who sleeps in my room, I'm on my way to gaming competency.
My latest "project" is Minecraft and I must say I made a great choice. Don't misunderstand, I'm awful at it. I'm genuinely terrified of all the monsters and I'm horribly inefficient. Luckily, Iji apparently doesn't mind being my personal encyclopedia so I have made some progress. I have a house, enough diamond that I don't need to hoard it (but choose to anyways), a mostly navigable mine, and I'm preparing to venture into the nether, preparing here meaning ready but avoiding.
Here's my problem with the nether: it's scary. I watched Iji wander around there and it just looked like Hell. Actual Hell. I expected the Robot Devil to pop up and say things that my mother wouldn't like. Regardless, I've made most of my nether preparations and hopefully one of my next blog posts will recount all of the details of me running around and screaming about how awful it is.
I titled this post "The Newbie Chronicles" because that's what I want this to be; a series of accounts of my gaming experiences. Hopefully Iji and I will be able to make some videos as well because our in-game banter is hilarious.
If you're reading this then you're either generous or have great taste and I thank you and love you more than is socially acceptable.

More Focused
For as hard as I look I can't find
many sites dedicated to PvP. I hate what end game raiding had become
in Wrath of the Loot King and now that I don't need to PvE to be able
to PvP anymore, I won't be unless the mood truly
strikes. Even when it comes to leveling PvP is my main choice of Exp
unless I'm trying to power through some levels.
And although there are plenty of sites
dedicated to making gold, some things bear repeating.
Addons. I love and hate addons. I'll be
reviewing them and giving you my opinions on them.
I intend for this site to become a place for like-minded players and a place to check
while the server's are down. For anyone who has ever had someone from
the opposite faction make a lvl 1 alt to berate you, to those who
have gotten mail for undercutting, I hope this site will serve you
well.
Born of Boredom
Boredom has driven me to consider starting a blog. I'm not sure about what exactly but definitely in the realm of gaming. I may focus on WoW and Minecraft with a smattering of other stuff.
My girlfriend, Ixi, said she may do some posts which should be interesting. We're not "pro" gamers by any means but I find us quite entertaining.
I'll probably be tinkering with the layout and stuff for a while, but hopefully I'll be able to blog on a regular basis. My first goal is to get at least one post out a week.
Well, we'll see how this goes!
