So, I'm just some guy. 

It's been almost a year now since I had the idea for a website, and really it was little more than a joke.  I've had conversations with Tim over at The Widget about how both our respective projects were supposed to pretty much be fun for a summer and then retreat into the realm of "Hey that was fun, but now I have school to do".   July of 2005 if you had told me that a website charged with little more than distributing my highly suspect opinion would less than a year later grant me the power to schlep a total of  8 friends to what is arguably the mecca of gaming bliss, i'd have laughed at you in my squirrely (Sometimes described as transvestite-esque) giggle and dismissed it as... Well, bullshit.

So believe me when I say this to you:

I am shocked to be able to write this column
Why?  Because the thought behind it, the inspiration and subject is how to break into the videogame industry the GamerAndy.com way.   As in, how I"m doing it.   I don't claim to have done it yet, but I'll be damned if there aren't people out there who have been convinced by themselves or others that I have enough pull with their target market to offer me a job in the business I love so much.  

And that's just this month... Wait til after e3....

So I understand this column isn't for everyone, and if you're not interested then please check out some of our other content.... Hawkes' column "The Flaming Sword" is not really a bar in the castro (gay joke) but is in fact a suprisingly refreshing look at events through the eyes of the jaded guy I call a friend.

But if you're interested in some of the behind-the-scenes stuff that goes on at an up-and-coming player in the wild world of videogames and the false prophets who details its evolution, I welcome you.

As a fellow Outsider

Dear Reader,
At this point in our relationship you almost certainly know the events that occured to inspire the creation of GamerAndy.com, and you know that I'm really nothing special.  I'm just a college student studying to be an audio engineer who is caught up in all of this madness, but what you might not know is what I spend much of my time doing these days for the site.  I contribute actual content (like this) very rarely, yet am incredibly active when it comes to the future of GamerAndy.com   Keep in mind that all names/companies are going to be left out of the posts for privacy/not getting my ass in trouble purposes.

Tune in next week for actual content :)
