Sucked back in

With the closing of 1up.com I thought that I would no longer want to pursue a career in games journalism or journalism as a whole for that matter. Jokes on me, I can't get away.

1up's closure has hit the gaming community pretty hard. I for one thought that I might be a teacher or something, but I continued to look at gaming sites this past week and I realized that I can't get away. The draw to do what I love is still there and if anything I no want to work harder in order to create something like old 1up's caliber.

On a side note, I started playing Half-Life 2 for the first time and I am starting to enjoy it. I can only handle it in limited spurts only because I am a baby and things get pretty hectic so I have to take a breather. It is amazing that the game still after all this time looks so good.

Holidays and 1up

The holidays came and I now am in a predicament, I have a new computer. This is amazing because I now have the ability to be a PC gamer it also is now harder than ever to decide what games I would like to spend my days wages on. Doors have been opened and although I hate to have to complain about too many games to play it is exactly the situation I am in.

I just recently cruised over to 1up to check some news and have mixed feelings on what I have learned. The 1up network has been bought by UGO which at first glance looks like IGN which is probably my least favorite gaming site. I hope that 1up can maintain it's integrity and provide users with gaming news.
