Blog =/= Dear Diary

I've never been interested in keeping a journal. The idea of chronicling one's day for posterity seems a bit self-indulgent, and the times that I've tried, I haven't been able to figure out what to write about.

"What did I even do today? Should I write down what I ate for breakfast? If I write something weird, the journal will judge me. What if someone reads this? Omg if anyone reads this I'm going to sound so uncool, I should do something awesome so that I can write about it, and then when they read it, I'll sound awesome."

Certainly, on several more-angsty-than-normal occasions in my goth teen years I picked up a notebook (usually black, with black pages, and probably black ink) and wrote a few pages, that probably read a lot like:

Dear journal,

I've decided to keep a journal. [wtf are you telling the journal this for?] There are a lot of things going on that I need to express, but no one understands me. [probably because you listen to Nine Inch Nails and are in the drama club] Today I went to school and I saw her. [ugh you are such a loser] Anyway, here's some poetry:

Darkness
I watch the outside
It listens to me
But it's raining [not bad, actually]

In any case, enter Something Totally Random. A few years ago Brian and I decided we wanted to do a regular podcast to discuss news and opinions on video games, tabletop/pnp games, board games, books and general geekery, and we called it Something Totally Random, modeled after our collective train of thought.

2 years later, with as many podcast episodes, we've decided to put together our knowledge and interest in the gaming industries to bring news, opinions, and discussions to you through this website and our podcasts. We both have a passion for writing, games, gaming journalism, and telling each other that we're wrong, and what better way to argue with each other than in flame wars over an internet forum, IN ALL CAPS???!?!?!@!@!

Please to enjoy!
