What the hell. Let's start a gaming blog.
So whats the angle?
Great question. We probably don't have one. But read on and maybe we will figure it out.
Not being part of the mainstream gaming journalism illuminati, we will not be reviewing pre-release games, or going to big launch events, rather taking the industry in as we all do, and providing our own unique outlook on news and the games we are playing.
What does this translate to? Well in any meaningful approximation, probably not a lot. Our grammar is poor at best, and we are not industry insiders, so we will not be reporting anything you probably don't already know. But how is that any different from games journalism already...
So Day Old Donuts... what's with the name? First, allow us to answer your question with a question of our own, "Have you ever eaten a donut you did not like?" Now that we have established this appropriate equilibrium between ourselves and you the reading public, Day Old Donuts, in summary is a reflection of how this blog will run.
Games
We will be reviewing games as we play them, which is to say, at a normal human's pace. We frequently will be reviewing games months or years after they have been released (exceptions will be made on a case by case basis).
News
Probably what we feel is one of the better qualities of being "Day Old" is that we will be summarizing the week in gaming news. Why weekly? Because you don't need to know about the 52 mundane pieces of PR canon fodder that spew forth from the Reuters boxes on a daily basis, largely to do with pre-order bonuses. News, in our eyes, is just that. Legitimate and meaningful industry news and high octane, snark-based, analysis of said news.
Potpourri
This is a new venture, and with any such enterprise, the road lay open ahead of us. We look forward to the adventures to come and the missteps, lessons learned, and failed attempts that will define what this blog becomes.
So in conclusion, and to quote Spaceballs, "If you can read this, you don't need glasses."
Welcome and game on,
Cameron Rains
