So, myself and a group of people I know from around the university were thinking about making a gaming channel on YouTube but that spark died out fast when we stopped to consider just how many mediocre, mindless, meandering channels there already were. What in the world would we bring to the table?

So that died out, everyone forgot about it, well, most of them didn't even pick it up in the first place. It was originally my idea so it makes sense that I had the hardest time putting it back down. It was one day debating, as per the norm, the various intricacies of one game or the other and it's overall theme that I realized we already were doing something that wasn't so whored out by the vast quantity of 12 year old fanboys on teh interwebz0rz. I know, hax, right? This was when the idea to bring the world of Academia to gaming sprung up. The others were skeptical at first, they weren't entirely sure they could bring themselves to share supposedly intellectual thought with the world and risk looking like total idiots.

Well, after assuring them that that was the best part and that I'd take a stab at it first to show them what it was like the channel came into existence. What I've proposed is to bring the intellectual world to gaming. Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to say this hasn't been done or that it's entirely original. I'm not that much of an idiot. But either way, I'm an English major and a writer to boot so when I can't see a reason why almost everything that I do in my coursework with novels can't translate into gaming, well, that just goes to show there's a whole world there.

Anyways, that brings me here, to Bitmob for the usual critiquing from the mass public of peers. I'm ambitious enough to start this and devote a lot of time into it but I'm not stupid enough to think it's going to be 1337 HaXz0rZ. Even if the concept were gold (not going to comment one way or the other) I still need to hear from you, yes, you, right there, reading this right now, and hear your opinions on what I've got to say. It should never be a narrative, but the basis for a discussion.

So, Bitmob and all you Mobs of intelligent people, what do you think?

My first video is on the role of Shiro Tagachi, the antagonist of Guild Wars Fucktions. I debate whether or not he's a real antagonist, though, I must admit there was just not enough time to talk about every aspect. The other Envoys, for example. Never once mentioned them when they themselves could easily be viewed as the antagonists.

Either way, please take a look and lemme know what you think!
