I know what you're thinking. "This handsome jerk!" you announce aloud to yourself, shaking your tiny fist at your computron. "He shouldn't be writing this blog! Scoundrel! I'm suing the internet!" and then you pursue to sue the internet, and lose your house and wife in the process. Good job, dumbass.

Looking me up on the internet, you might think I'm some dumb kid that likes videogames and goes on the internet, and maybe jerks off sometimes. You are pretty much correct there, but don't accuse me of a small child of the baby boomers generation (or whatever the fuck generation it is called) and only liking the Gears of Halo and the and the games wer u shot teh skany biches, and saying how shitty other games are. If you think I am like that, there is no way for me to describe to you how far off-base you are. You can't even see the base from there. You're looking around, but you can't find it. Where's the base?

Although I do enjoy playing those kinds of games, more often that not I love the artsy, profound or different games that most silly little shits my age don't bat an eyelid at. Also, from reading this right now and seeing that I use punctuation, you can probably tell that I don't scream about how you just shot me with a rocket launcher and how it isn't fair and wah wah wah.

The games I like are usually the ones that look like they are bringing something new to the industry, and have a flair that catches my eye, independent or no. I also enjoy games that I get from word-of-mouth that are just plain fun. Games with a good narrative I also rather enjoy.

Also, just because I am a teeny-bopper, doesn't mean I don't like to play ye older games too. I fucking love those. Sure, it might be my fault that my mother didn't fuck some dude twenty years ago and a little man called me didn't pop out, crack my knuckles and say "Right, wheres the Contra, bitches?", but I liked to play games on emulators and then on the Wii virtual console.

Something that older gamers worry about is the kids not learning about yesteryear's classics, and in come fifty or so years they will all be forgotten in a haze of Call of Duty and Mountain Dew, but even I, fifteen year old charming Jace have not forgotten and will assist you in your noble quest.

It is a little sad. Sometimes I wish I was older, because it feels like I am in the wrong crowd of people. These people talking about thefting automobiles and how they totally got 4 frags and leveled up the other day and Mountain Dew spurted out of their ears,, all I think about is how glorious the medium is and how much it has meant to me all my life, and how I should play the first game I ever played again, Super Mario Brothers 3, and go home and save the world in my living room.

Save the world in a tanooki suit.
