During the last week, I have had a lot of opportunities for reflection. Badger and I had a lot of discussion about life, the universe, and everything. . . just not everything my wife expected us to talk about.

While at Comicon, I attended panels on breaking into various industries. I asked a lot of industry-specific and business-intensive questions. During those four days in San Diego, badger was looking to live his dream. I was looking for a way to make my dream a reality. I was networking. I was applying. I even interviewed. . . kinda. That said, it was a very productive trip. It helped me realize where I was last Fall and where I want to be this Fall.

During the car ride back from San Diego, badger and I talked about reviews. About a year ago I posted my most recent community review here. I had been pretty active in writing them. As of late, that time has been absorbed by work, school, and other initiatives. If my gameplay really is an effort to understand what is out there . . . If the hours I play has more meaning than merely completing titles, I need to write about it. I've given a lot of thought to the marketing aspects of the industry and the long-term business approaches for viable competition. What about ensuring product quality within the industry?

Thus, kind readers, I ask for your help and support as I commit to one review a week. It isn't much, but I am interested in improving my analytical evaluation of interactive media. If anybody has feedback on my contributions, feel free to PM me. Some things in my life are shaking up and I want to ensure the transition is for the better.
