Welcome

So yes. I have decided to make a blog. Many know me on Rooster Teeth and Bungie.net as the "wise ass" who doesn't take crap from anyone. And that remains true here, just like anywhere else on the internet.

To start things off about me, my name is Elias, I'm 17, I'm a guy (in case you couldn't tell by my name) and I currently live in New Jersey. I've always had a sort of knack for writing, but I never really applied it to anything other than the occasional English paper. I'm also a smart ass with a keyboard. So my next logical step was to combine my two talents and my biggest hobby, gaming, into one nicely wrapped package with metallic silver wrapping paper. You know, the kind you get on Christmas morning that glistens in your face screaming, "You know you want to open me, but my packaging is just so damn perfect you don't want to." That's how I like to think of this blog. I'm going to have some ideas you want to read and that you know you'll want to read, but in the end, the pay off may be nothing other than arousing your anger or disappointment that I did not take your side. Sort of like opening said present and you get some underwear. That's when you wish you never opened that shiny, beautiful present.

So. The Broken Controller. Where in the hell could I have gotten such a ridiculous name like that? Well, let me describe this blog first. It should help you to better understand the name. I've noticed lately I've been involved in many, many flame wars online, be it gaming or otherwise. So, without any fancy metaphors or anything of the sort, this blog will be dedicated to my ideas on the latest gaming/internet flame wars and video games in general. One day I can talk about a flame war about racism, the next day I could be talking about my view on Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2's multiplayer. It will always change up. Now. Logically flame wars = anger, amirite? But what about video games? Aren't they supposed to be fun? How could anger overshadow such a fun type of entertainment? Oh, I wish you knew. Generally, when you get angry at a game, you would do such unnatural things as throwing your controller or banging on your piece of crap console. Well. I'm guilty of throwing my controllers out of my window. -_- Halo 3, man, it gets to me sometimes.

Anyway. A lot of this blog has to deal with the anger of the internet community and revealing it. Since it also has to do a lot with video gaming, I think you can put two and two together and see why it's called "The Broken Controller." I think it's a good name. Broken Joystick would have been good, but to me, it seems like I'm copying off of Joystiq.com.

So, I believe that's all for my introduction. I might post one more thing today as I've found an interesting topic about a hotly anticipated Xbox titled. The topic, or should I say "review", set the online community into an uproar, brining back the age old argument of 2005 and 2006. The good 'ol console wars. My favorite. Yummy. Be back soon. :)
