Hello, everyone. It's been quite a while. I've taken sort a hiatus from using this website, for reasons that are unknown even to myself. I suppose I just lost interest. But now, I'm back, and I hope to start blogging regularly for the enjoyment of other people, as well as myself. Let's begin the introduction, shall we?

First off, this blog is going to serve many purposes. One: to keep everyone up to date of what games I've been playing, what reviews to look out for, what to expect from the future, and my opinions on all things gaming. If any of you followed any sort of blogging or discussing in the past, you would know that I was almost strictly a Xbox 360 guy, and all my gaming flowed exclusively through that console. Things are going to be different this time around. Over the past four or five months, I have done minimal gaming, for various reasons. Mostly because I lack the time and the motivation at some points, almost all my time is dedicated to school, extra-curriculars, my girlfriend, and my job. Because of this, I have found it very difficult to find time to play video games, and when I do, I'm usually exhausted or just don't have the motivation. In addition to this, I have found a new hobby which I really enjoy: reading and collecting comic books. I'll go into more detail on this later, but it's become a new passion of mine, and at times took precedence to the other love in my life, gaming. But, since I've gotten my job and my birthday was recently (I turned 17), I now decided that I'm ready to jump back into gaming. I've used some of my money I've saved up to purchase a Nintendo 3DS, and I'm really excited about all the possibilities that are now at my fingertips. So, to be clear, I will be playing and reviewing and opinionating games on many consoles, including the 360 , the Wii, and my computer, but I've decided to turn my attention mainly on handheld gaming with my new 3DS. 

Secondly, I would like to use this blog to share my thoughts on my previously mentioned newfound hobby: comic books. I hope to have a blog around every Friday or Saturday detailing my comic book purchases of the week and my thoughts on those purchases, and a preview of what I plan to pick up the next week and why. This is something that I really do enjoy doing, and I look forward to sharing my experiences with all of you. 

Lastly, I intend to use this blog to share with you what's going on in my life. The life of a high school student can be dull at times, but hopefully I can pull together some interesting stories that may be at least somewhat entertaining. I do have a lot going on right now, so it will be nice to be able to vent and hear different perspectives on the issues I'm facing. 

Of course, I can't guarantee that I will post all the time, sometimes I get busy and I totally forget to do things like this, but I will try my best to keep a regular blog going and though I really don't expect many people to read it (or care about it for that matter) I will do it to help myself and hopefully build some new relationships. The first thing I would like to do is make a blog about what's been going on in my life recently and try to get everybody up to speed on just who is "Alex3796." Also, I would like to apologize for the wall of text that this blog is, and I really do hope to spice up future blog posts with pictures and videos. Thanks everyone for reading, and I hope you enjoy what it to come.
