Daniel Primed – Me

Hey Guys, I’m Daniel Primed, thats Daniel Johnson the author and admin for this blog. I’m a 19 year old University Student from South Australia. I study intercultural communication at Uni majoring in Chinese. As you’d expect I have an interest in video games, beyond that photography, digital design and chinese are my other major hobbies.

Like a lot of kids from my generation I grew up on video games. It first started with the Nintendo Entertainment System and two games; Totally Rad and a rare 3-in-1 cart (Super Mario Bros, Tetris, Nintendo World Cup). As a child a lot of my friends and family members also played games which exposed me to a lot of what was on the market and although I started on Nintendo, I’ve had a strong history with all of the major Sega platforms as well.

As for the games that I prefer; I like to stay focused on the Nintendo, Sony platforms and to a lesser extent PC. The Xbox and Xbox 360 don’t interest me very much. I also own a Amiga 5000 and did own an Atari console. I find that nowdays I play a mix of outdated and retro games as well as a few newer titles, this doesn’t really bother me as I don’t feel that its always necessary to pay full price for a video game unless its a killer app (in which I will then do so).

My Personal Blog || My Blogging History

The Gaming Blog

Throughout my time as a video game blogger I’ve discovered that quality, one man gaming blogs are quite hard to come by. A lot of video game blogs run like small news sites with a team of writers and beyond the 3 major VG blogs (Kotaku, Joystiq and Destructoid) it seems that VG blogs are negatively percieved by the wider gaming community. This isn’t just a problem with just VG blogs though but rather blogging in general.

Despite these views, blogging is on the rise. So I want to make my small contribution to the community count. I am constantly working on producing strong, quality, editorial based content for my readers. I spend a lot of time researching topics and editing my articles to keep improving the quality of the website as well as my knowledge of video games. I am aware though that I still have plenty of creases to iron out. If you have any comments or queries then drop me a line. I am always interested in working with other bloggers to create a stronger commuity for all of us.
