Summer 2.0

Hello again!

Impressively enough, my summer started very late this year (for me, I know in some countries July is "where it's at, yo"), but that does not mean I can't make something out of it anyway. Some may know that this blog started last summer with the goal of combating the coming boredom of living on the country side with a less-than-ideal laptop (which I am now using once again...) and a somewhat unstable internet connection!

Along with that, I am also not a fan of writing about myself - my thoughts/opinions are fine, but in no way am I interesting enough to hold gamer people's attention long enough to make them follow what would be my "personal" blog. I HAD a saying about it once, but it more or less goes like this; "IF you want a successful blog, write about a topic of interest instead of your day-to-day life. Because unless you're a Hollywood celebrity I am pretty sure nobody cares about it". CYNICAL, I know, and perhaps a bit mean to all the people who do just that, but it is true. I can go into detail another time (don't get your hopes up, I still have a long list of things not yet talked about and I have no problem adding to that list haha).

So, to stay true to just that, the topic of this particular blog is Hyboria, and the game Age of Conan neatly falls into that category. As of July 2012 it is still the best game to play if you love Hyboria and the original Robert E. Howard stories. There are of course times I go off-topic or simply touch on my personal life in relation to this blog, but you will typically not hear about what I had for lunch! In this case, I will also throw in a second post about something Hyboria-related just to make up for it.

I know it is not that big of a deal, but since this is a summary/update post, I might as well remind y'all of the only real rule/principle of this blog: No typical day-to-day talk!

I might as well also stress that I am taking advantage of (well, more like exploiting) the liberty of not actually needing to talk about my adventures ingame. You will always find something Hyborian, but I really do enjoy talking about what grinds my gears in terms of Community - and my true speciality is finding out everything there is to know about the Hyborian Community. Lately, I have been looking at a blog (http://cynarablog.wordpress.com/) that is doing what I should be doing. It is everything I am not, funny AND intellectual. My jokes merely consist of self-deprecation and the occasional fart joke for good measure.

There is no way I have the time to commit to all that blogger has done (aka, being good), but I still have my uses mind you, and we might as well continue on to my second post, which will appear above you. Which probably means you read that first, which means I am in essence means I am making a fool of myself as I am typing this right now. NO MATTER, all in a day's work anywho.
