It has been a very productive couple of weeks as I make preparations to release some new content to the website. As I mentioned before, I've been experimenting with some gaming content as I capture and commentate on some of my favorite games. Finally, I plan to post several of these videos on YouTube in the course of the next couple of weeks. First, Part 1 of my Half Life playthrough will lead the pack.  Released in 1998, Half Life led the revolution of first-person shooters for the PC. Infamously, the story of Half Life never finished, leaving the franchise on a cliffhanger as the developer shifted their focus. Description: Welcome back to the 90s as I tackle a pioneer of the FPS genre. In this first part, I step into the shoes of Gordon Freeman and die... a lot. I even added a counter to keep track of the amount of deaths. This game is not very kind to me. Anyway, I hope you have as much fun watching this nostalgia trip as I did making it!

My little video game side project: play.matrix is returning with another episode! For those of you who might know, it is what some call a "Let's Play". What is that exactly? A "Let's Play" is defined as recorded video game footage, sometimes with accompanying commentary by the individual playing the game.  As it has always been a passion of mine, I've been recording a few videos in my downtime. The struggle has been finding the time to edit them together and upload them. So, coming soon is first in the line of a few I've kept under wraps. More information is to come in the next week or two!

This is more of a repost, but with a little more free time, I'm now able to release content that I've been sitting on for far to long.

New to the Cipher Eye Media community, we will now be featuring Geekt. content on CIM's website! Covering all things in geek culture, Geekt. features videos and podcasts discussing video games, television, movies, and much, much more! I am very excited to have the opportunity to present to you this new content as part of the Cipher Eye Media network! My hope is to expand on the content that is presented to you outside of the content that I produce. As of right now, I am one-man producing team for Decipher the Media, play.matrix, and the other blogs on the side, and Andrew Wolf produces content for Theatre N'at, making our team very small. With the addition of Geekt. on our network, we have the ability to present to you more content on a more consistent basis, as well as present to you the work of talented individuals outside of the CIM network! Geekt. is also the host of their own podcast, The Blazing Fire Cast (available on their YouTube channel and iTunes). ...

After years of tossing around ideas for creating content content relating to video games, I have finally settled on the idea that has now become play.matrix !
