Being a gamer myself, I am always expose to comments such as gaming is bad for you in various ways, especially if it affects your education. For me it is my main hub for enjoying myself. In recent years games have become more matured with content such as violence, sex and drugs becoming common themes in games. This has led to a variety of sources, such as newspapers to say that playing these games lead to increase violence, to people becoming hikikomori. One company, Rockstar games have made successful titles like GTA to the controversial Manhunt, especially the Manhunt 2 game received much press attention, which lead to a delay in the game being sold in the UK.

However in the past few years many game companies, especially Nintendo have turned their attention to the masses, normal people who do not usually play games. With the introduction of the Wii they have been very successful, also they have introduced motion sensor game play which has led to a new way of playing games. Games are becoming more expensive to make, so companies are trying to maximise the amount of profit they make by appealing to as many consumers possible.

Edge a really good magazine and website on gaming just written an interesting article on the benefits of gaming. The article is very well rounded, in providing a positive side to gaming. The one I found interesting is that surgeons using motion sensor games on the Wii, to help them train to have steady hands. Which is funny, because if you ever are in a unfortunate situation to have an operation, your surgeon could have been training on the Wii.  So whenever you are told gaming is bad for you could use some of the examples in the article to justify gaming.

Welcome to the start of what I hope will be a entertaining blog. Since this is my first entry on this blog, I am relatively new to this. The reason why I have decided to start this blog is by the influence of other blogs and I wanted to contribute to this exciting community. I wanted this blog to look different but with my lack of skill and knowledge of web design, I have gone for a plain look, hopefully I will be able to evolve this blog to something better as time passes.So what will this blog be relating to, well it will probably be your average anime, otaku and japan relating stuff. Looking around there are many similar blogs out there, but the main thing for me is that I would hope to enjoy writing and sharing my views on these topics with readers around the world.

I have been watching anime since 2003 and there have been some memorable ones and some that I wonder why the hell did I watch ones. Around the same time I have been reading blogs relating to anime. So I have a bit of knowledge in anime and blogs. Since I am beginning to waffle and boring you I will stop right here.

I hope you enjoy reading this blog.
