Blog Update

For your reading convenience I have updated the reviews page to contain links to all the reviews I have written and changed the About Me (or as I like to call it, the Narcissism page) page to a Fiction & Short Stories page with links.

Expect to see more stuff coming soon. 

Blog Direction

So I've been running this blog for a while now and it's occurred to me that it doesn't really have a direction. I just post what I want when I want and that seems to be that. I do enjoy writing and reviewing but I find it hard to get motivated unless something really strikes me. So for the time being I think a lot of this blog is going to focus on my Warhammer stuff as I am really enjoying painting, modelling and the few short games Suzanne and I have played so far.

Hopefully you guys find some of the stuff I write interesting. Stay tuned, there will be other stuff posted on here too. I still have a few game reviews in the works that I hope you'll all enjoy.

If any of you have comments or suggestions on my writing style or the things that I write about, drop me a comment below. Constructive criticism is  something I am always looking for. 

Holy Binary Bovines! Robots!

Nothing in this mortal universe is immutable and everything is subject to change... especially my blog. The Raving Nerd has died a painful death under the lethal guns of the Robot Overlords. New management (re: essentially me but with more coffee) will be making many changes around here. Hell, I can't even guarantee the Robot Overlords are going to stick around for long.

I'm bored and I want to write stuff that other people will read and hopefully find amusing/thought provoking/dumb enough to get a reaction out of. So if you're reading this, REACT damn your eyes! With the Raving Nerd I tried to have some form of structure to the things that I was writing. I kept trying to push myself to sit at a keyboard and actually punch out something that made sense, like an article or a piece of fiction but I've realized that I can't do that. My writing just comes to me when it wants to and when I sit down and try to force it I end up writing three paragraphs of shit, deleting it and then crying into my coffee for an hour about how inadequate I am losing interest and going off to play video games.

So here let me unveil Robots Building Robots! my new (re: pretty much the same as the old) blog. Wheee!

I'll leave you with the first image that comes up when punching Robots Building Robots! into google search. The Robot Overlords tell me it's not sinister and that I am totally reading too much into it......

Update

So things have been a bit quiet on the blog front and I'm sorry to anyone who has been reading it and wanting updates.

I have been busy working on another project lately which is related to the letter I posted recently. I won't be involving this blog with that project other than using it to host the letter.

I have a short story in the works which I am hoping to post up soon but the side project is currently taking up a lot of my time. I know you guys are all avid fans and readers (HAHAHAHAHA) but please try to bare with me.

Cheers,
Nick.

Longer than anticipated

I have started writing part 3 to my Battlefield guide, but it's taking longer than expected. At the current rate it's going to turn out to be a couple of hundred parts long. I'll have to see if I can figure out a way to make it a bit shorter but still include all the information that I want. I might even move it over to a word document and upload the whole thing as one guide, rather than trying to do it in parts.

Meanwhile I am working on a couple of different things at the moment. Hopefully I will have something new up for you guys to read early next week.

On another note I have had 78 page views since I started this blog. That's roughly 78 more page views than I was expecting, so thanks guys! 

Update

So I have moved five notes over so far. It's a bit harder than I thought it would be as all the formatting gets screwed up when I copy across, so I have to re-do it all. Otherwise I am quite happy about this decision. If anyone has any suggestions on anything I can do to improve this or if anyone knows places where I can list my blog for free, please let me know.


Hopefully I will get a few more across this afternoon and have something brand new posted up sometime early next week. I am thinking another article at this stage, 'My top something something blah blah'. I quite enjoyed writing the game themes one so we'll see what my nicotine addled brain can come up with.


Watch this space.

The Raving Nerd

Welcome to The Raving Nerd!


So I have decided to start a blog. At the moment I write pretty much all my stuff in my Facebook notes, so what I'll be doing to begin with is transferring most of that crap over to here. The first article I've copied across is My Top 10 Video Game Theme Songs. There will be more gaming related goodness coming shortly, including my Battlefield 3 Guide.


Why have I started this blog I don't hear you ask? Well, I like to write. I've posted 39 notes of Facebook so far (not all of which will make it to here) and I wanted some place other than Facebook to keep my writing. Somewhere where I could make it a bit more customizable and also somewhere in the public sphere, separate from all my personal stuff.


I'd like you to know that anything you see, read or hear on this blog is all my personal opinions. No one is forcing you to read anything I have to say so if you don't like it, piss off. As the title suggests a lot of this blog is just random lunatic ravings from me. Usually about video games and other nerdy topics but occasionally it will be more serious stuff or even angry rants against whatever is pissing me off that day.


My plans at the moment are pretty vague. I am going to migrate some of my writing to here first and then I will hopefully start updating, maybe once a week but we'll see how we go.


Thanks for visiting my page. I hope you'll stick around and read some of the things I have to write. If you like my stuff please share it with anyone else you think may enjoy it.


Cheers,
Nick.
