HI, I'm Dylan! And if you're an internet stalker, don't bother, there are several people with the same name in my neighborhood alone! I'm a young idiot who aspires to be a game developer, yet is planning to take computer security because, lets face it, that's a lot harder to get a job for if you don't have a diploma! That's about it for me, moving on! (And before you worry, no, I will not be putting exclamation marks anymore except for the sake of raw, unbridled rage. In fact, I will be surly and sarcastic for the remainder of your life, or mine, or the universe's. Whichever dies first.)
This blog is going to consist primarily of video game know-how that I have garnished from a long life of gaming, philosophic quandaries about our universe and fictional ones, and the occasional mix between the two. I will occasionally rant as well, but it won't be anything personal. We be having none of that teenage self-pity.
Let's list off some series I plan on doing.
- Reviews: That's self-explanatory.
- Breakdowns: This is where I put my game design skills to the test and breakdown certain mechanics, whether they be from specific games or the entire industry,from small tiny choices to entire genres. CRITICISM IS APPRECIATED.
- Gaming Challenges: I suggest a few challenges for you, the viewer, to attempt. Have fun playing Super Hexagon while being force fed a sandwich!
- Stories in Gaming: Sometimes, wonderful moments happen while no-one's watching. Here, I share some of mine.
- Philosophy in Media: Oh boy! Philosophy! No media form is without philosophical influence. Now, there are plenty of bigger channels with smarter people in them that do the same thing, however, they tend to tackle big questions. I intend on starting discussions on smaller questions, from some smaller series.
- Rants: There will be occasional rant, whether because a game's lazy design conveys a problematic message, or the gaming industry has decided that loot boxes in single player games is OK. However, I am a thinker, so I am going to try open up more discussion, rather than simply spew useless nonsense. I think we get enough of that already.
- Variety-Log: Sometimes, I'll want to talk about something that doesn't fit in any of these categories. That's what this is for.
And that's all. Before I go, I'm going to list off some fantastic YouTubers and such that inspired me to do this.

- Extra Credits: https://www.youtube.com/user/ExtraCreditz
And also the class blog, for it has a metric ton of content on it and is, in the end, what's giving me the time (and excuse) to do all this.
That, I do declare, is all.
