The Introduction

I've never participated much in online blogging, but I figured I'd give it a try. I'll start with an introduction. I'm sure google already includes my name, but what the hell. The name's Matt, and I'm a full blown nerd. Most of anything I write will likely have some basis in nerd culture, whether it be video games, comics, books, Magic the Gathering, or any number of other topics that catch my interest.

Alright, time for credentials:
-I've been playing Magic now for about six months. Not long, but definitely long enough to be pretty damn invested.
-Video games have been a huge part of my life since I was about seven years old. Nintendo was my upbringing, despite any recent transgressions.
-I'm more of a Marvel comics guy, considering the movies have played a fairly large role in my becoming interested in the first place. DC certainly has cool characters and stories as well, but the film franchise has been spotty at best. Beyond Batman of course.
-Movies are my favorite form of media right now. Placing myself into the shoes of an epic hero, or a regular guy caught at the wrong place at the wrong time is enthralling. They're an escape from reality, which I feel I frequently need.
-Science is awesome and I hope to write about anything interesting I happen to find.

I think I've blathered on about myself for long enough. I'll write again soon hopefully, and am looking forward to having this as a creative outlet. Thanks for reading.
