A thought came to me while lying in bed about five minutes ago. I really want to get into the world of video game criticism. I love games, and I nitpick the hell of of them. I gave it a test run with FTL: Faster Than Light. It was an enjoyable venture and certainly gave me a taste of the game critic's world. And I definitely want to continue that.
Here's the problem: I'm totally broke. I can't buy every new game that comes out in order to play it and give it a proper review. I can only do that with stuff that I've really been looking forward to. Besides, with new games, much more experienced critics are jumping on them already.
Here's what I'm thinking: A retrospective review blog in which I revisit games that have been out for a while. They've had time to simmer. I want to dig out the old games and give them a review from my oh so futuristic and wise 2012/'13/'14/etc. perspective. It'll give me the chance to build up my chops while giving myself a little nostalgia over older games. Plus, they should be a lot cheaper. Unless they're discontinued classics that you can't find anywhere.
It's definitely a project I'm going to start working on, and will become the focus of this blog. (Because right now, the focus is building cobwebs.) I just need a name. Oh, dear reader, this is where you come in. I'm awful at naming things. The things I've come up with so far:
- Rothfusz Revisits
- Rothfusz Retrospective
- Rothulfossil Revisits
- Rothulfossil Retrospective
They're pretty bad. But I kind of like the alliteration. Assonance would be even nicer. JonTron (probably the reason I'm thinking about doing this - I've been watching his videos nonstop) sounds really cool. But I can't really think of a catchy name like that to slap on my review blog. Help me out?
P.S. I'm having some trouble with the blog layout. I'll fix that soon.
