An Introduction.

Socrates, a bit of a personal hero type....

Hello all, I would like to first thank anyone who is reading my first post, I will try to keep this simple. As my introduction I would to tell you what you can expect from this blog and from myself. Mostly that I am quite opinionated, and I am sure more than likely someone will disagree with me; which is fine, I actually welcome it. My opinions are board and varied, and I like to think that they are mostly "rational," rather than motivated by emotion and passion. I realize that may be a bit subjective, but I will try to remain as objective as possible.

There in lies the question, though, what do I think is "rational?" I guess that could be a subjective definition as well. So what is it then? What constitutes a "rational," opinion? Why do I keep putting "rational," in quotation?

The answer, it's not so easy, really. See, people have personal biases, and lord knows, I have them as well (I think most any one is burdened with bias as well). Trying to transcend your own personal biases is kind of hard, and that is what I intend to do here; to leave my bias at the key board.

So, what are my rational opinions, you may be asking yourself? And why should you care?

The opinions I will express in this blog, while my own, will be on varying topics, like video games, politics, popular culture, and I may through in a bit of philosophy into the mix.

With that being said, who am I?

I am just your average Joe with an overly active mind that feels the need to share his opinion with others, hopefully I do not just end up sheltering myself behind a group of people who only agree with me and rejecting any and all feed back from anyone who happens to disagree with me (I have seen this happen not only on the internet, but in real life as well). I hope to make my post both entertaining, and witty, and I may even through in some videos of me talking about the articles I write.

Here is a preview of my first actual article I will be writing: it will be about the MMORPG RuneScape. I will be doing a review of the game in its current state. I'll tell you what I like about, what I don't, and whether or not you should consider playing the game.
