Why a blog?

So, while I wait for my first shipment to arrive, I thought I'd explain why I bothered to make a blog.

The fact is, I felt it was necessary in the interests of transparency. A lot of people took a chance voting for me. I've never done this before, and I have only done one review. You know nothing about my style, what I like, and how I'll be making my decisions. I created this to give anyone who wants to a chance to see what I'm thinking, how I'm doing, and tell me what you think or if I'm wrong.

I feel qualified to do this because I know a lot about games. I've played and run dozens over the years, but no one can know everything. If I've missed something, or if I just don't 'get' something, let me know. I'll consider all opinions.

Now a bit of more interesting news. I still haven't received any products, but I do have a list of items in the first shipment. The good news is that I own, and have read, many of these, so I can get started right away. Items in bold are books I already own.
