The Great Gaymeathon

It sometimes feels like I spend more time thinking (and writing) about games--especially ones I don't yet own--than I do playing them these days.

Well, I've decided to (try to) do something about that--by playing, over the next few months, every single game in my collection and then commenting on them here.

I'm not promising to play each game from start to finish, mind you, but I will spend some quality time with them. I'm also not promising to review them in full; rather, I'm planning to keep my commentary short and sweet--kind of like the impressions I've enjoyed at sites like gamengai.com and video gameden.com.

Oh, and the best part of this plan? I'm going to call it "The Great Gaymeathon." (Or maybe I should call it "The Great Gay Gameathon"? Nah, that's too long.)

As for when the first Great Gaymeathon review will be posted, well, I'm not entirely sure. I'll post it as soon as possible, though--I promise!

That's super exciting! I'd fix the spelling, though, and call it the Great Gaymathon.

Actually, Justin, I thought about "Gaymathon," as it definitely "looks" better, but most of the time when people use the non-gay gamer equivalent, they use "Gameathon," not "Gamathon." So, I guess what I'm saying is that I'm not sure what I'm going to do :( I think I'll keep it as is for the time being, though...

Hm. How odd. I'd expect that you'd see gamathon instead...

Bryan Ochalla said...

Well, I know this isn't terribly scientific, but when I Googled both words, Gameathon had MANY more results than Gamathon. (Also, there's something about Gamathon that makes me worry people will thinks it's a Gammathon.)

Of course, using Google probably isn't the BEST idea, as it's entirely possible there are more instances of "expresso" out there than "espresso," etc. :)

Well, that's true...but it's a matter of form, and if you like that form better, then go right ahead!

We'll see what I end up using. I respect your opinion as both a gamer and a wordsmith, so it's entirely possible I'll go with Gaymathon instead of Gaymeathon. Thankfully, I probably won't post my first entry until after the new year (things are just TOO hectic right now), so I have some time to figure it out :)
