I know its been a while since a post, about 2 weeks precisely actually. So I have been very busy the last 2 weeks. I have been playing a lot of Destiny, and as of today that’s going to be a little bit of a stand still because Sunset Overdrive comes out today! I can not wait to get my hands on it and play it, I mean really an insomniac game (Ratchet & Clank Developers) on an Xbox One 0___O . Mind blown all over the place.

I am happy to announce that my 24 HR Extra-Life Gaming Event was a rousing success! I came up a little short on donations, but I was still able to raise and amazing $110 dollars towards the Children’s Miracle Network! I would like to Thank everyone who did donate very much I could not have done it with out you guys, and my amazing Twitch.tv audience who stayed with me throughout the 24 HRs. I am strongly considering in the coming months of doing another Game A-Thon but this time for the amazing Wounded Warrior Project. I will put more details about that as the time rises.

Because of the success and the amount of new followers that I had gained from this event, I have gone and created a Facebook Page dedicated just for The GamerKeith. The address for that is facebook.com/thegamerkeith . Yea I am evolving slowly, I wasn’t really sure how much this would take off initially but so fat making good progress, much better then GamerZ R’ We. So I am very excited about that.

I know that content has been very loose lately, but with the Holiday season coming up and games being played left and right, and working a lot, its been a little harder to make content as much as possible. With that being said though I think I may be making some bold moves in the coming month so please stay tuned for brand new Fresh content, and if anything strikes my fancy I will write about it here first.

Thank you again for your support and following!

Well…It has been a busy month of September. We had a lot of game release in the beginning with Destiny which I finally finished you can check that out here. Then we had Hyrule Warriors, and Shadows of Mordor. I will hopefully have reviews for that in the upcoming weeks. Then we had an awesome start to October with Super Smash Bros. 3DS, and Alien : Isolation. So needless to say I have no excuse but to keep bringing you reviews. Then we have Loot Crate later this month.

I really just wanted to take a couple of sentences here to say I am sorry. I know words are nothing sometimes and actions speak louder then words. I really have been busy dealing with some personal matters that while I do love gaming come first above all else. So I failed to complete my Gamer Keith Challenge…unfortunately. For those who were nice enough to tune and watch my Twitch channel while I did broadcast my game play thank you for your support. I really will try harder in the future but I kind of set a really high bar that I thought I could accomplish, but because of time constraints and other commitments I could not complete it. So again I apologize.

However let’s stop being negative here! This is a whole new month! As I rambled off the list of games above I should have a LOT more content for you in the coming month. So wish me luck everyone, and Game On!

First I want to apologize for my lack of content lately. It has been a really long month of no real major releases and I have been quite busy with a lot of personal stuff with my life, making a lot of good changes so I can thus pro long and continue to make content for YOU my lovely audience. That and last month out at work was quite busy, however not going to bore you with the small details. Just know I am still here, and happy to do so, and talking about my favorite subject gaming.

This would really be more of an update if anything but the real meat and potatoes of this particular blog is going to be circling around one thing. I am talking about Gamers, and this whole “Gamergate” scandal that is affecting my community of gaming. So I do not know all of the details whatsoever and I would really really appreciate no hate mongering on this, we already have enough of this going around.  I am no expert and from what I do know it seems like a bunch of crap and people dragging their own personal lives into something and it seems that one bad apple spoils the whole bunch kind of theory. Again I don’t know everything and I honestly probably shouldn’t even bring it up, but it is something I feel quite strongly about.

It seems as though with this scandal called “Gamergate” they are saying that Gamers are a dying breed and there is a whole bunch of corruption with reviewers and developers, YouTubers, bloggers, etc. So with that being said I just want to start with the proverbial, “No, Shit” remark. This has been going on since probably really the beginning of the “gaming journalists”.  I mean honestly of course there is biased in gaming. Everything we critique on gaming is just an opinion. I am not saying all are corrupted and easily persuaded by the thought of money or swag, it is not my place whatsoever to make any judgements or rank anybody’s credibility, character, or moral integrity. The same thing happened not so long ago to Adam Sessler, granted the guy is goofy, but he was a good gamer and gave his opinions, and it seems that though when that happened some person along the way got but hurt by his opinion and started this outcry that honestly was not called for. I felt bad for Sessler, and when he called people out on their bullshit I applauded him for sticking to his guns.   I digress, because this blog is about me.

Now with all this being called into question, I am sure you’re wondering am I going to say things like, “I’m not biased, everything I say is fact!” or “I am not a sellout I don’t make a dime off this blog”. Short answer is No. I am just a simple nerd, gamer. I love gaming, I love the culture, and I love to share my opinion on gaming. But in the end it is exactly that my opinion, not to be interpreted as fact. If you ask if I am biased, absolutely. I love Nintendo to the core, in my eyes and if you have been following or reading my blog they can do no wrong on a lot of things, and I trust them and I back them 110%. So if Nintendo does something I am already supportive of their decision, good bad or indifferent. If a developer were to contact me (Please Do!!!!) to play their game before anyone else and review it. Yea I will take it and probably would be somewhat biased because they chose me to play their game over others, and I will probably give it a somewhat decent review unless it is something that is totally god awful, and everyone agrees it’s totally god awful.  If anything is to happen and I become somewhat of a good gaming blogger and I start making this my source of income and career a lot of people will probably call me a sellout. Well let me paraphrase Kevin Smith when I say this, Of course I am a sellout. The second I started doing this and the second I made a dollar off of this I sold out. If I was a real “artist” it would just be something I share with my friends and keep under lock and key and watch once a year. I will totally sellout my blog and write for a major company or banner and have them pay for my games to review them or play them or talk about them. Why because it’s something I love doing and I would love to get paid to do what I do just for fun. Isn’t that kind of life’s goal do something you love and get paid to do it, if at all possible?

There also some people who may not agree with my opinion, I have already accepted that, it is just my role to make an opinion on something and show you how and why I feel this way. Hopefully you identify with it and give it a like and maybe I can have you play a good game that maybe you were on the fence with. If you find it wrong, just believe that maybe I am wrong but you have to respect my opinion, I have been gaming for 25 years so I kinda know my stuff to a certain extent. If you felt that I have wronged you I do apologize I have no ill intentions whatsoever. But I will not apologize for my opinion though, not in the slightest.

Then finally there are a lot of articles circulating around on a lot of major gaming websites about how gamers are “dead”. No, we are not a dying breed. We are here to stay we are growing constantly. I don’t understand why so-called “gamers” who are writing these articles saying bad things about their own community. I mean no community is perfect whatsoever whether its gaming, or sports, or religious. You are always going to have those people who give your community a bad name.  But as a community we should be promoting that we are all not bad, and support each other, not condemn the whole community because one asshole has gone and messed it up. So I go back and say gaming is here to stay I know I am, and everyone is welcome to the club, it’s not members only or you must have a family member in gaming to become a gamer. We are compromised of all different types of people, of all different sexes, agendas, creeds, religions etc. So let us prove the people wrong and stand united as a community, lets not let this petty bullshit rip apart a great community. With that being said I hope that I have not offended anyone and I have inspired you to be the best gamer or blogger that you can be.

Be sure to check out for more updates because September is going to be great with games. We have Destiny coming out  beginning of this month, and of course my highly anticipated Hyrule Warriors . 

Thanks for your following, I appreciate it, and know I am not going anywhere I am here to stay as long as I can.
