Introductions (?)
So today’s going to be my first blog. I don’t generally blog in the typical sense, besides having facebook or myspace or whatever personal network jazz there is out there, so forgive me if these entries are a little lacking.
What first? I guess an introduction would be in order.
My name’s Brian Deysher. I’m a junior in the Digital Media major. If I had a minor it would be sarcasm. Despite that, I’m not an unfriendly person, as much as I am reserved. I’m an artist by nature, and I feel like art is more about telling a story rather than just creating aesthetically pleasing images. I have an overwhelming love for concept art and for the art industry of both film and video games alike, which is only surpassed by my love for 3D animation. My studies currently focus on 3D modeling and animation and I really hope to find myself in that field in the future. I really like the fantasy/sci-fi genres.
I think it’s an understatement to say I enjoy video games. I absolutely love video games, as an art form as well as a form of entertainment. I’m a much more casual gamer now, considering I don’t have as much free time to dedicate to playing as I used to. I tend to spend more time learning how the latest technology is being applied than actually playing. I’m a bigger fan of the RPG genre, because I feel that there’s more emphasis on story and art as well as gameplay. Other than that I guess I like thriller games like Silent Hill or Fighting games because I love the fast pace, and I think it involves a fair deal of skill. Not too thrilled by racing games, I’m not gonna lie. I wasn’t much of a fan to First-person Shooters either until Unreal Tournament, but now I enjoy them a whole lot more. In fact, I even build levels for Unreal and then host tournaments in them and watch people get frustrated. My current favorites in this genre are Shadow Run and Bioshock. I think RTS games are entertaining in short bursts, but can get really annoying really quickly since they are somewhat limited. I really enjoy playing online with others, but I feel like most MMOs are sorely lacking. WoW is completely overrated in my book.
I’m sure there will be more important things for me to blog about at some point, but I don’t have anything right at this moment. I guess that serves as a good introduction.
