It's always an arduous task to write this type of list. Gaming has been an integral part of my life since I was the tender age of five, when Super Mario 64 was the first cartridge I had the honor to squeeze into a Nintendo 64. Since then I've played thousands of games--not that I've counted, it's merely a rough estimate--across most platforms. My collection is close to one thousand games large, though my Steam library comprises about half that total.
Here's the list.
I. Final Fantasy IX
II. Ratchet & Clank: Up Your Arsenal
III. Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 3
IV. GoldenEye 007
V. Fallout: New Vegas
VI. Disgaea: Afternoon of Darkness
VII. Minecraft
VIII. Pokemon OmegaRuby
IX. Mirror's Edge
X. DOOM
Please remember that list is quite volatile. Currently it's composed of games that I categorically enjoyed more than any other game I can think of.

The Return: The Invasion of the New King
I've died. I'm dead. Killed. Actually, I wasn't killed. I was critically injured while sailing a pirate ship to the moon. I yearned to plunder to moon of its numerous treasures. During my absence a robot I programmed to update this blog went on a permanent holiday to the Bahamas. Okay? Okay.
Nearly two years have passed since I previously wrote a bit of content for the zero people who read this blog to enjoy. My time has been wisely invested in exploring the recesses of bags of Lay's potato chips and not completing anything on lists that now lie in the nebulous depths of my Wunderlist account. My personality has become a bit more mature at the expense of the minuscule piece of optimism I clutched before, and my life has become as dull as a broken pencil. Pencils can be sharpened, unless you have a mechanical pencil then you can push the eraser to expel the short bit of lead that won't remain in the tip and replace it with a new, longer piece of lead... What I mean to say is that despite the mental horrors I've endured, I can insert my life in to an electric sharpener... I give up.
I've mentioned attending college in a previous post, I think. Regardless, I was enrolled in a community college for a semester, and successfully completed it with my name on the dean's list. I realized that college would be too socially demanding for me and left a week into the second semester. I wasn't able to tolerate the required group activities, the speeches and presentations, and the daily battle with anxiety that I was losing. The most significant action I didn't take was to seek help. My anxiety could have been professionally treated, but I was far too anxious to even consider seeking assistance. My anxiety grew new heads and wore different masks, but its message was always the same. The time after college was, suffice to say, exceedingly miserable. However, like a pencil life can be sharpened; its intrinsic qualities can be improved. That's what I've been focusing on the previous few months.
I'll be returning to college this fall to slay my demons. I want so much more out of life than what I've experienced, and I certainly do not intend to allow anxiety to suck the ambition juices out of me. I wish to use Blogger as a repository of thoughts and as a way to push myself to reveal more about myself, to expose myself to others. With the might of the written word I will invade anxiety's homeland, murder its king, and plop my bum on its throne. You can join me in my journey by visiting this blog and perhaps gazing upon its contents long enough to read a line of text or all of it.

Interruption
I interrupt this long period of silence to inform you that I haven't abandoned this blog. I've merely been too preoccupied with other aspects of my life (college, homework, gaming, etc.) to stop for a few minutes to post something. New content will begin to appear within the next week, and more will follow regularly after that.

Introduction
Though my writing normally teeters on the edge of absurdness, the crossing isn't usually as blatant as the previous two posts. The topic of this post is one of a more subdued nature: elaborating on some details regarding myself. Instead of writing a few paragraphs to describe myself I'll simply write a numbered list of information, since I'm not particularly adept at describing myself.
1. Any opinions you've formed of me based on the previous posts can safely be disregarded, unless I struck you as suave, mature, and witty (probably not). The reason primary being that it requires quite a bit of effort for me to write like I did in those posts, so you can assume that most future posts won't be drivel.
2. I play and collect video games. I surmise that you could've guessed that. There will be a list of my favorite games added to this blog sometime in the future.
3. I created this blog solely because I enjoy writing, but I don't think that's an authentic purpose. It will most likely not attract a massive number of views because it lacks focus.
4. I enjoy learning about various aspects of the world, and like expanding my vocabulary.
6. I actually do enjoy dubstep. I'll concede that Skrillex did ignite my affection, but unlike others I've explored the recesses of the genre and have over 10 GB of dubstep on my computer. Most of it was downloaded freely and legally from www.dubstep.net. Dubstep is dismissed as redundant noise most of the time, but to me it's thrilling and unique.
More information will be added soon!

Pencil
There once was a pen named Pencil. Pencil was a mighty king who was also kingly and mighty. He was so kingly and mighty his people requested he become king. He became a mighty king who ruled mightily and kingily. He was a rockstar in the eyes of his people. He was so rockstarish he became a mighty king who was also a king and a mighty rockstar who sang kingly and mighty songs. And then he became a king.

New iPhone rumors emerge!
BREAKING:
New leaked (I cannot stress this enough, leaked) photos have revealed that every model of the next iPhone will be shipped pregnant! That's right! Apple's recent hostile and bloody consumption of Nebraska-based biotechnical company Flatgasms has supposedly lead to the company's haphazardly researched technology being implemented in Apple's upcoming technological miracle.
According to the photos each iPhone will be pregnant with 10 babies that should pop out within a few days after purchase ("Buns in the over" t-shirt not included; sold separately). The phone's prenatal dimensions are yet to be revealed, but rumor has it that the area around the Home button will be dome-shaped and measure four inches horizontally, and two inches vertically. Specifications have also not been revealed, although reputable sources place them "Somewhere between the Galaxy S4 and HTC One... But most likely the original iPhone."
One of Apple's designer has been rumored to have said "Try jamming this bad boy into your pocket, because you can't! It was designed to be as physically intrusive as an actual pregnant woman, and our software designers have been cooking up some nasty software to match the temperament. It's something remotely similar to actually being around a pregnant woman, except you have to pay for the experience and reap none of the rewards."
Characteristically, Apple maintains its coy demeanor by not confirming any details at this time, but I've been in contact with some pretty legitimate sources who've assured me that the photos really do depict a pregnant iPhone. But what does this mean for the end-user? Aside from more chargers to plug in (rumored to be sold separately) and pleasant evenings being destroyed by an incessant bombardment of noise meant to imitate crying, it also means that you'll be able to voluntarily throw more money at Apple.
After your new iPhone gives birth the little plastic wonders will need a home with a loving, and ideally wealthy, family. It's been suspected that Apple intends to create a sort of adoption agency where iPhone owners can for a trivial fee send the bundles of joy off to designated, cold facilities in which the tots live and are cared for until they're adopted. As babies the minuscule iPhones have roughly a quarter of the power of their parents, and instead of a sleek aluminum body they're plastic and chunky because they were exposed to too much silicon in the circuit boards. Potential owners can peruse the selection of tykes at their leisure. After they've decided which one will be inducted as the newest member of the family the last obstacle remaining is the fee, which is rumored to be half the cost of a full iPhone. This lends validity to another widely circulated rumor: the low-end iPhone.
It's also been rumored that instead of iOS 7 Apple has abandoned iOS altogether in favor of a more "organic" approach. Instead of prodding a screen with your disgusting fingers, all of the device's functions are accessed by verbal commands. Want to call Pizza Hut? First you'll have to convince the phone (pregnant or not) to memorize the number, and then coerce it to obey you. That's the "initial setup" that occurs each time a new feature is desired. After the setup, you should be able to issue the command "call Pizza Hut" and the device will dial the number (if it likes you and you haven't been killed).
Finally, there's the rumor that Apple will use the iOS replacement to introduce a fingerprint scanner. It isn't clear at this point if the device will have a screen, but it's been rumored by credible sources that instead of holding a finger against the screen there will be a "Wet, melted silicon filled orifice that you insert a finger into. There is an artificial tongue inside that will lick your finger, and instead of reading your fingerprint it's tasting that amount of salt on your skin and examining your diet and reading your email so it can use that information to verify your identity." Only the adult iPhone will have this feature.
Consumers will have to wait until September 10th which is when Apple is rumored to announce the next iPhone.
UPDATE: Various sources have claimed that baby iPhones will never progress to adult iPhones.
