So back in November 2013 I started this blog to be famous. I thought I'd be a major gaming celebrity as of course everyone that starts a blog does. I didn't have an idea of what that meant or how to do it but I knew I should do it so I could be a millionaire. I was stupid and dumb and I am an idiot. Yeah that's what started this blog. Yeah. I wrote a couple posts and no one really read them and I felt sad and forgot about this blog. Then a couple months ago I was listening to some podcasts (I am so into podcasts I literally have a new one to listen to every other day) and they said even if you don't want to be famous, you should still have your opinions and all of your thoughts about the community of gaming written down or recorded just to have them. So I went to Blogger and tried to make an opinion blog. While doing so I saw this blog just sitting there and checked it out. While browsing my young, and quite frankly, stupid thoughts on how CoD: Ghosts is the best game ever, I decided it would be a good idea to revisit my little review blog and to start posting on it. I then gave myself the idea to start posting regularily, so I chose Friday to give myself the week to write up something (to be honest my reviews are almost consistently written on the Thursday night before I have to upload the next day) and I wrote some of my opinions and bettered my writing skills. I then decided to differentiate myself from just a normal review blog and made up The Breakdown (still a review but without any opinion on whether the game is good or not, I am lazy) and made myself different, at the least. And now I have school and homework and I have honestly thought about leaving this blog again but I just can't for some reason. I mean it's not like I have a community or any real fans, and I'm not necessarily fond of my writings (My SoTC review still haunts me) But I thought about why I do it. I do it because my opinion on games changes all the time (CoD Ghosts being proof) so the real reason I do it is because if I keep a log of all the games I like at the time of playing them, later on I'll look back on this and (call myself stupid) remember my opinions. I might even find a consistent way to know if a game is good or not just by looking at all my past reviews, and comparing all of the things I like to the game to see if it does things that will inpress me. In a way I can use my own reviews as a kind of Metacritic to score future games. And anyone who agrees with my opinions and reviews can do the same. One day I might even compile a list of all the things in games that I like and don't and have a tell-all guide to buying games. So the reason this Article's name is my opinions are stupid is that they are. They are to anyone with a different life view or a different view on games to me. But to people with similar opinions, this blog might be perfect for you. And to the future me reading this article just remember, "Sweep the leg Johnny, sweep the leg,"
