This is the beginning

So this is what it's all about, huh?  The bloggers life...  Well I suppose I should begin this process by explaining why I am here.  To what end does the voice of a generation begin speaking?  The answer is a simple one.  I am incredibly interested in in breaking into the industry of Journalism in almost any format.  I have since my childhood been a writer, or fiction, of history and of anything else.  I choose this format because it is simply the wave of this generation.  I would love to one day see my name in print but for now I will suffice with my name on a computer screen.  That name, for those of you that don't know, is Michael Longwill.

The purpose of my blog will be to review games, television shows, and movies.  These are the things that I know best.  I have been an avid gamer my entire 26 years and I have a healthy respect for the good and a virulent hate for the bad.

Just to get a temperature of my personal room...

Good Games:

Suikoden II, I, IV, V, III (in that order)
Borderlands(all of them)
Final Fantasy, pre FFXI
Gears of War (all of them)(only Co-op, doing it alone is just depressing)
Bioshock (all of them)
Infamous: Second Son
Earthworm Jim
Last of Us(though I will say that the game gets too much good press, its a good game, don't get me wrong, but their are other good games out there)
Mass Effect Trilogy
The Elder Scrolls
Arkham Asylum, City, etc.

Good Movies:

Rock n' Rolla
Sherlock Holmes (Guy Richie versions)
Lucky Number Slevin
Gladiator
Kingdom of Heaven
The Avengers

Good Television:

Cowboy Bebop (seriously the best thing ever recorded, and I will defend it to the end)
Hannibal (holy shit, right?)
Game of Thrones (obviously)
Arrow
Grimm
30 Rock
Parks and Recreation
Two Guys a Girl and a Pizza Place

Why did I tell you all that?  Well the answer is twofold.  First of all, I tell you this because if you haven't seen or played any of these things, you should definitely do so, and I am happy to be the one to suggest it to you.  Secondly, because it is important for you to get a feel for the things that I like so that you can anticipate what I will report on.

I hope that this entry is one of many so that the world can read my genius and profit from it!  Here's to tomorrow!
