Obligatory Introductory Post

Let me start off by saying that you most likely did not find this blog on your own.  I probably linked you to it.  If you actually found this without being linked by somebody else, congratulations, you are incredibly skilled at finding stuff on the internet.

I believe this is the part where I tell you about myself.  I like playing video games, in case that wasn't obvious.  I'm not the kind of gamer that plays some generic first person shooter and calls you a fanboy of the rival shooter if you don't like it.  The games I play are sometimes the popular ones that everybody knows, but not always.  I play a lot of games that are popular among a certain audience.  For example, I am a very large fan of the Professor Layton series, which is popular in certain groups, and I am a fan of Uncharted, which is the kind of series that wins all of the awards.

My name is Noah, but I wouldn't limit you to one name for me.  Instead, you may refer to me as Smelly.  I know that you probably think I'm joking, but I'm serious about that nickname.  There's a  somewhat long story behind Smelly, if you consider anything with length to be long.  My friends began calling me Smelly one day.  They assured me that it was not because I carried a foul scent, but never told me why they actually called me that.  I allowed them to continue using this nickname, and it has now become my internet alias.

At this point of my incredibly boring introductory, I feel as though I should explain what this blog actually is.  The title indicates that it is a source for finding reviews for games, but that is not what it is exclusively.  I'll use this blog to post whatever I want, which is not necessarily going to be related to video games, but will probably be related to video games.  The other topics I'll cover will probably relate to other nerdy things.

I feel as though I should elaborate on my reviews, as the few of you who actually found this blog by chance are probably looking for reviews.  I feel as though my reviews should be taken seriously, as they will be my honest opinions, but it should be noted that reviews are more of a topic and less of a separate entity from my other posts.  That's not to say that I won't have my reviews tagged as reviews and other posts tagged as whatever they are, but I still regard my reviews as being a medium for expressing myself.  This probably makes more sense in my head than it does here.

It should be noted that I will not be posting reviews regularly.  Don't expect reviews of the latest and greatest games, because that's probably not what you'll be seeing here.  I'll post reviews whenever I finish a game and think it deserves a review.  Do not ask me to review games.  I will not.  If I do, I was already planning on reviewing it, and it had nothing to do with you.

That's all I have to say here.  If you like this, cool.  If you don't like this, I'll just have to live with it.  If you have any criticism, tell me.  If I made a grammar mistake, or if my writing style is awful, I'd like to know that.
