I thought what I'd do was I'd pretend I was one of those deaf mutes.

Ever since I finished University I have been struggling to find a way to focus my mind in a creative way. I'm not the sort to talk about myself or my life so a personal blog or twitter were dud starts, but at the same time, I never thought of myself as a skilled creative writer either. Sure I've done forum based RPG's in the past but I never had the level of output of other users and had frequent bouts of writers block, so some sort of fiction or creative writing blog was out of the question either.

It seemed the only thing I had any sort of a skill for outside of my course was my opinion. So what better way to throw my opinion out there than writing reviews. The question is, what should I review, after all, everyone has loads of interests, and you have opinions on every aspect of them. I play Yuigoh, Magic: The Gathering, I like surfing the net, I watch sitcoms, anime, movies, I read books and manga, I play video games. I needed to find some sort of focus for this use of my creativity.

The more I thought about it, the more I realised that an unbiased review of something like Yugioh or Magic: The Gathering, would be pointless, most of the people who read reviews for that stuff only care about one thing 'Is it competitive?' I dont see the cards in that light I just look at it and see its good and bad points. I could review movies, but in that case its all about 'What's new' sort of getting a job as a movie critic I'm not gonna be able to review movies on a regular basis. In the end it seemed that Anime was the only reasonable choice.

So without any further ado. I present to you my blog.

Stand Alone Complex, an Otaku's review to life the universe and everything.
