Gamers in their passion are constantly setting new medical records. Amount of time spent in one position without food, amount of time spent in bed without sex, amount of unnecessary blood clots. This is discounting the glorious feats involving mountain dew and microwave burger consummation, that are sometimes bordering on world records. But even by gamer standards, I have found that a rather prickish illness, namely cancer, has gifted me with enough spare time to myself in order to go one step further in the path to obsessiveness. To write about gaming.

Following chemo and surgery, if you don't know, you don't feel like and are generally incapable of doing pretty much anything. Needless to say the most reliable muscles in our body still function at 100%, the ones in our hands. As a 19 year old male with no body part to use but his hands, it doesn't take much imagination to envisage what i've spent the last 5 months doing and when my hands are clean, that generally means playing with videogame characters instead.

By now, you're probably wondering to yourself 'where is this going?' Well, I have no means of bringing to you breaking news from the world of gaming any faster than the websites I already know. However I can offer something that most websites cannot and that is a fair opinion. You see, with all the internet gaming information sources there are problems with money. Or rather, desires for money. And while advertising is good enough for some people, for others bribery is too great a lure to be avoided. I'm talking about game reviews. The constant 9/10's for unchanged franchises, the completely unrealistic verdicts on DLCs that offer nothing more than a new character skin or maybe the sly placements of words like 'cheap' in a game revealing.

I'll bring to you opinions, reviews and all round good/bad humour on the subject of the videogame world. And at such an affluent time for our industry when better to start?
