Every journey...

I've been thinking about starting a blog for awhile now, and today I finally decided it was time.

There's two reasons I've decided on starting this blog. First and foremost: forums and the people who run them suck ass. Before now, I had no place to freely speak; on forums and in IRC channels, I always have to worry about who I'm offending and often times have to censor myself just so I won't get banned. This isn't really my fault, as most people that moderate forums and IRC channels are simply huge ass losers who will take any opportunity to exercise power over someone else, even if they didn't break any of the rules (which frankly mean fuck all on practically any forum; most of the times I've been banned from forums and IRC channels it's been because someone "didn't like me", or the catchall excuse of "trolling").

But now, I can freely respond to stupid people (and whoever else happens to catch my attention) while avoiding moderator circlejerks and the white noise of forums. The best part? I can remove their comments or outright disable comments if I ever wish to. Not that I'm planning on doing this very often; I'm reserving it for extreme cases in which the people "arguing" with me are the same type of obnoxious, know-it-all geeks that helped me develop my distaste for forums. Otherwise, feel free to leave comments on anything I post here; I'll treat you as well as you deserve to be treated.

Now don't let all that make you think I'm just a big meanie; I'm in fact a rather nice guy! The second reason I started this blog was so I could share my knowledge with the world and help promote a better understanding of fighting games. I plan to accomplish this by documenting my own progress as a fighting game player.
