In the Beginning

By LuchaDeerFear 2 Comments

So I've had this urge to start writing something. Simultaneously I've become really interested in trying to blog, even if its really for no one but myself.  I'm curious to see if I have any chops as a writer, and I'm looking for another source of creative output. At this late hour, I figured I give it a shot. And what better place to start then on my favorite website, GiantBomb!

I've been playing games all my life. As long as I can remember, there has been copious amounts of games in my household. This can be attributed to the fact that I have two significantly older twin brothers wh o are also into gaming. They started with an NES, but it was their Genesis that I really cut my teeth on. It was the Shinin g Force series that took the place of my first favorite games ever. Games have also been the best medium to get my imagination and excitement going, and they have the potential to provide a sense of escape from a sometimes dull world like nothing else.

I used to be an avid fan of the site GameSpot before the infamous GerstmannGate, and after I found out through a friend where Jeff's work took him,  I was eager to watch the growth of GiantBomb. The series "How to Build a Bomb" was an early favorite, and it was very intriuging to see how someone went about setting up a kick-ass gaming website.
The start of the Giant Bombcast was a great moment in this sites timeline, and it remains my favorite feature on GB.

When GiantBomb "blew up" in the summer after its release by adding its wiki features and user contributions, I thought it was a genius way to make this into a site that has enough game info to compete with bigger corporate sites like 1up, IGN, and Gam

espot. I considered the possibilities, and I watched as the community grew and the site quickly became a huge info store for almost any game imaginable. I was amazed to see all that Jeff and Ryan was able to get started all on their own, and it made me feel good to see how things like that were possible.

I want to see if its possible to get involved in this community and see what it'll mean. In this day and age where seemingly everyone and their mother has a blog, can I write anything that anybody cares about? This is my attempt to find out.

Any tips about how to get involved or comments will be appreciated. Thanks GB.
