Hello World

Hi, I'm KurenaiXIII. Riot Gear invited me to contribute to the blog, and it sounded like an interesting idea. I'm not a game designer, except in my head--I don't have any practical experience with the creation of games, only the playing of them. (I estimate this puts me in with 95% of the video game-playing public.)

I play a small amount of RPGs (to completion anyways), but I play a whole hell of a lot of World of Warcraft (Yes, I'm one of those) and a whole lot of fighting games--both 2d and 3d--special emphasis, lately, on Street Fighter 4, BlazBlue, Melty Blood Actress Again, and various doujin fighting games.

I also play a lot of rhythm games--I don't play Dance Dance Revolution (too old and creaky) anymore, but I do play Beatmania IIDX, Pop 'n Music, Guitar Hero (and Rock Band), and all those. So what I'm saying is, expect my posts to come in along those gaming lines, although I do play at least a little of everything from fighting game to racing game to puzzle and visual novel.

In the coming weeks, I'll post more--current topics I'm considering addressing are the concept of the 'unlock' and DLC, as well as control complexity and immersion, and even maybe discussion on controllers.
