A blog!! I haven't kept one of these up to date in some four plus years! However, with everything I'm beginning to do, I think this will be awesome!

Let's see, let's see...

As of now, other than finishing up my school year, I am planning two costumes and a website!

The first costume is Nidalee from League of Legends that I plan to debut at PAX this August. The second costume is undecided, but will be for Blizzcon 2011!

The website I have yet to fully decide on a name yet, but I plan on keeping a site running in a magazine style about gaming and gamer culture! I've written an article about how to make a costume, petitioned a friend to write another article (on whatever he desires), and I'm planning a third article on games to enjoy this summer! Though we'll see how much I get done between playing Borderlands and Vindictus! Haha... I game too much... :'(

In a few months you should write an extensive article on the differences between the WoW and the SC communities.

It's quite fascinating how a 1v1 sport fosters a gentlemanlike attitude (racquet sports, SC2) as opposed to the neanderthal approach of team sports (ball sports, WoW, FPS's).

Are we all truly brutes on the inside but only brave enough to show it when backed up by a group? A little like when you're singing in a choir, get carried away and turn red as you realize the music's stopped and you're the only one left singing. Do we feel more exposed when we're facing defeat on our own and therefor more humble when unshielded by the anonymity of an online world?

How come the most successful WoW PvE guilds are the ones with an attitude that scorns he who fails, where only the most hardcore reach the approval of the elitists and is having survived the hazing and scrutiny the only successful method of bonding? United by trials of fire? Can this same model be applied to the Korean pro houses? Is the shame in defeat the best driving factor or will the positive affirmation and team encouragement eventually foster a Zerg hero in Haypro?

There are many interesting topics for you to explore given that any community you'll choose to approach will welcome you with an awkward (of course, what did you expect?) yet embracing hug.

Gl with the website, your gaming and costumes.
