New content
However, I’m not just tossing the blog-aspect of my website out of the window because I still like to write a little bit once in awhile :P What I want to do instead of the longer blog post is to fill it with smaller ones such as news, reviews and silly stuff.
Of course there are a lot of news sites out there, many of whom are probably (most likely) much, much better than me, but I’m not going to let that stop me! :D My idea, as of this moment, is to just post news about games and gaming that I find interesting, while of course provide the original source, and then twist it with my own completely biased and maybe not-so-well-thought-out opinion :P Also, since I have some relation to game development through my study and people around me, I figure that I can throw some things about that in once in awhile to keep things interesting ^^
News, such as the announcement of the next WoW expansion, would be ideal content in the new reimagined blog-section :D

Having decided on moving focus away from the longer, more personal blog posts about everything and nothing, I thought to myself: What else could I mix this this website-section besides smaller news posts? How about reviews? That sounds like a TOTALLY AWESOME AND AMAZING IDEA! :3 I figured that after a game series have ended, I could share my experience in writing and rate the content on a scale.
Now, I haven’t actually done anything in this style before, but I’m thinking of using a rating system similar to that which the old Nintendo Power-magazine around the 80/90’ies. It was really some arbitrary scale (but what review scale isn’t?) which rated the games by four or five different categories and then the overall rating would be the overall average. I really liked this and my immediate thought is for the categories to something like aesthetics, controls, sound and story - We’ll see if those makes sense once I get to do such a review blog post :p
Lastly, who doesn’t like silly stuff? I’m talking things that I find cute and/or humorous, things that make me smile - Now, doesn’t that just sound lovely? :3 Of course, I may just use the Facebook-page for such sillyness :P
Anyways, that’s the plan I have for my website’s blog-section, effective immediately - Now I just hope that it can be enjoyable and that I actually get things done, this time around :P
Over and out!
