Earl's Musings: Gaming is big.

Okay, so, here's the thing. Games and gaming and making games and playing games and all that jazz. It's HUGE. I don't mean as an industry, or as a matter of interest, I mean as a topic. There's hundreds and hundreds of things to talk about in it. Even more if we start looking at specific games instead of just talking in general. So what's the big deal about this? I'll tell you what the big deal is. The big deal is I have NO CLUE what to talk about when I go to write some musings about games. I used to have a lot of ideas and then I was all like "People only come here to download lesbian games, why should I write musings?"

And then I ranted and some of you asked for more, so I figured I should do some more musings. But when I sat down to muse, all I could think about is that there's so many things I could muse about. It's like when you're bored with a library full of games. You could play any of them, and so you play none of them and just keep being bored. It's like that but instead of being bored I'm forced to write about meta-musings.

Anyway, I'm going somewhere with this. The points are:
1. I'm going to be musing again and talking about games or game design or something.
2. I want suggestions for musings. What do you guys want to read about?
3. Gaming is big. I don't know all of it. Some of it isn't fact. My musing will be opinion. Sometimes they'll be wrong. Don't be surprised. I am just some trumped up jack-ass on the internet with an ego after all.

So yeah, comment with those requests and shit.

  1. Not game related, but for musings I like physics. Special relativity & its quirks like time dilation. PeriodicVideos for chemistry.

    For games I like listening to TotalBiscuit (totalhalibut on youtube). Has his own gaming channel and talks about game design among other stuff. As per this example on FPS games and the death of twitch shooters (and age of CoD clones). The current F2P trend etc.

  2. I would like your opinion on gaming and sex like what the market of it is, to the challenge of making games geared towards this.
