Dopass.com

Dopass.com is a sort of secluded place on the internet. I don't mind toiling away in obscurity because putting eyes on my page isn't really the point. I talk about games here, but I don't tout myself as expert because I don't believe that anyone is an expert on game design. I'm a professional and I've been doing it for about a decade or so and that's as close to an expert as I'll ever be -- a guy that gets paid to do it.

The obscurity makes it easier to get that point across. I'm not saying I wouldn't mind being well known, though! I'm just saying that being in this sleepy dusty corner of the net makes it easier to say what's on my mind without worrying that I'll end up having to issue an apology because my publisher or studio is afraid their share price will drop since I said the Wii is a piece of shit, or something. Being obscure, I have to admit, has its advantages.

Still, every once and awhile I do something like post an entry to digg - because the topic is something I feel strongly about. Take today for example: I finally went through the trouble of claiming my blog on technorati (Technorati Profile). I was curious what it would mean, if it mattered... but you know, the more I look at it, the less I believe it does.

The people interested in what I have to say seem to find me, anyway...

...so here's to obscurity! Cheers!
