Video Game Blog?

I've honestly been checking back here on this blog at least once a week, sometimes many times a week, and thinking to myself, "Alright, let's write something up for a blog post." And try as I might, I just can't think of what to "blog" about. I think part of my problem is that I'm not at all on the cutting edge of anything having to do with video games. I don't buy all the newest games (not having a job impedes that), I don't get out there and check out all the little Flash games online, and I don't read a particularly large number of articles concerning video games. I just like playing video games.

I could talk about how my brother, cousin, and I have recently gotten back into Diablo II, but what is there to say about Diablo II that hasn't been said? That I like listening to albums by The Police when I'm playing it? While I'm sure there are a lot of Police fans out there, I don't know that they'd find a blog about that particularly engaging.

I check out one video game "blog," though it's as much for the comics as anything else (http://www.penny-arcade.com). I read what they have to say, and I find it interesting, often humorous, and sometimes compelling. I really believe that I've got that kind of writing ability, and perhaps with a subscription to GameFly (if that site still exists) I'd have enough experience with new games (and thus a reason to be interested in the upcoming titles) to compose those kind of lovely blogs. As is, I just keep playing the old games. Is there a way to make playing old Nintendo/SNES/PC games exciting?

Well, I intend to find out. There have got to be some good blogs out there that tend to focus on older games, and I'm devoting the next week or ten to finding and analyzing them. In the meantime, I'll pray I'm struck with inspiration on a game-related topic for you, the readers. That's what it's all about, you know. The readers.

And stroking my massive, massive ego.
