Ahoy! It is I, Overkill, the mythical hero spoken highly of in delusional online legends! I am a 19-year old Canadian student in my second year at the University of Guelph, Ontario. I’ve always been creative and moderately talented, or have liked to think so, anyway. Since infancy, I’ve been playing a vast library of video games, and trying to make game ideas into a reality. I learned how to program in Grade 7, and now that I’m much older and wiser, I know a large palette of programming languages and know many ways not to finish a game project.Sadly, I haven’t really done anything notable with any of these talents, because of an encumbering mass of laziness. I guess I made a few demos or something, but do they really count? Pretty much all game projects I’ve had have lasted a maximum of three weeks before they’ve fallen. They were primarily nothing more than learning experiences, because I quickly grew annoyed or discouraged progressing these ideas further. So yes, you could say I’m just a giant mass of wasted talent.

Bananattack?!

What does a silly nobody like Overkill need a journal then? It’s clear he doesn’t get laid and isn’t making games. Isn’t this just going to turn into a repository of emotional whining about deprival and inactivity?

The answer is uncertain! However, I’m not alone– at least in the latter respect of not making games. In fact, this journal was inspired by McGrue and Kildorf, two of my most hated rivals (also: loved friends), who are currently engaged in fierce and valiant combat! Thrusting at each other with all varieties of magical crystals and sleepy-headed amnesiac protagonists, greater enormities are arising from the midst of this choas! Heroic magical artifacts, called VIDEO GAMES bubble and pop with mystical creative glowing energy. Mr. McGraw and Mr. Peveril are boastfully posting journal entries, and making weekly updates to their games in order to stir up competition and to instill shame in the lazy!

I thought I’d join this cruscade against laziness, and hence this journal! There is still hope. I have yet to decide on my game idea, but I will, soon. I don’t want to die in failure. Wish us all luck, and may this journalized game-makin’ battle yield desirable results!
