About
November 22nd, 2007
Daniel Primed, yep, that’s me; using my online screen name as a branded guise for a blog title.
Really, I’m Daniel Johnson, 20 year old University student from Australia who studies language and culture. Much like yourself I love video games and it holds a special place in my heart. Over the years I have invested my creative energy into areas of interest such as digital design and photography. In recent years though I turned to blogging as an outlet for a long desired passion to express myself, beginning with personal blogging and then branching out into video games. Of course, I still enjoy my design and photography - the former of which is presented on the site. This overdue desire for expression, combined with an interest in video games is what encouraged me to pursue video game writing.
I feel that deep within the experience of play, there is something there, something important which as of yet I am ill-equipped to describe. DanielPrimed.com I guess is the platform I’m using to try and describe that feeling of what it’s like to play games.
I don’t care so much for playing the latest release titles (well, not right away) or posting streams of news updates. I’d rather take a game and try to understand it on it’s own merits and then share this through writing. I hope that you enjoy the content on display, any questions can be forwarded to me via the contact form. I also use Twitter as well if you’re the kind of person who likes to stalk others online. Unfortunately I’m not as hungry for the service as others so if you are a Twitter whore then don’t feel bad that I didn’t return the favour by adding you.
You can find a healthy selection of my favourite articles as well as retrospective on the website here.
