N00Blog

And in the third hour, I said,

“let there be a blog”, and there was a blog.

Yes, after 3 hours, of on-and-off messing around, mainly within a cultural and ethical values lecture (which might as well just be called philosophy), i’m writing my first post.

I didnt’ spend three hours flailing around trying to work out how to use wordpress, i actually spent them frantically googling “super mario screenshot” in google images. Coming to realise that nothing of interest had caught my eye over a long period, i was forced to make my own header image, by sewing together whatever pieces of classic gaming imagery i could find. The result, as you can see, was quite satisfying.

As for the name of the blog, that was another few hours of brainstorming down the drain. After much time had passed, i thought i had found the most brilliant, and obscurely humorous video-game inspired blog title possible.  Clearly, so did AJ, who currently writes at http://allurblogs.blogspot.com/ under the title of “All your blogs are belong to us”, after a japanese written “engrish” line in the sega title “Zero Wing” from way back when. So with my genius title already tied up, i settled for the current “N00Blog”, which genuinely portrays my position in regards to blogging.

I do however read a few blogs, such as The care and feeding of warriors (yes it is game related, World of Warcraft to be exact) every now and then, and my mother goes on about them to no end. Or at least she did until “twitters” became the latest thing. “rss” this, and “css” that, not to mention our home pc quickly filling up with programs such as feedemon.

i suppose that will have to suffice for now, until i discover some new goodie or feel the need to type away for the interest of others

so long
