Gaming Smack

Welcome to GamingSmack.com!

I chose this URL because “SemiRetiredGamesIndustryVeteranAndFulltimeAchievementWhoreBlogsAboutRandomCrap.com” was taken!  (Go figure.  So were the .org, .us, .tv and .biz versions.)  So it’s Gaming Smack.  (And, at this point, I should point out that we’re going to be covering and commenting on video gaming in its many and diverse forms, but not gambling.  The casino industry has been euphemistically referring to itself as the “gaming business” lately, in much the same was as the term “pre-owned vehicle” has replaced “beat-up old car that smells like french fry grease.”)

I promise to try to keep things short, sweet, through provoking and entertaining.  In exchange, please keep things civil.  If your idea of a worthwhile comment is “WOW is teh sUxXoRz!!!” then this blog ain’t for you.  If you’d care to explain specifically why you think WoW is indeed the suxxorz, however, please pull up a Sumo and let’s chat.  [Minus 10 points for sounding like Hillary Clinton in her campaign kick-off video. -- The Judge On the first post, too.  Ouch.]

Special megathanks to Our Dashing Friend for setting this beast up.  Were it not for him, I’d be carving this on a piece of wood.
