First off, all of us at the Better Gaming Bureau would like to wish you a great and prosperous 2013! The change over to new year always brings great excitement and even greater expectations, and that holds no truer for us here at BGB. We started this website around 2 and a half years ago as a way to give the average, Every Day Gamer a voice in this world of Video Game Journalism that seems more like a business with paid previews and sometimes suspicious reviews every day.
But in trying to be honest as honest and informative as possible, we became prisoners of our own ideas of grandeur. For the past year we labored over figuring out what to write about, what to make videos about, how to podcast, how to write reviews, etc. This often left everything we wrote and put out edited and sterilized so much that we became what we didn?t want, and that is a cookie cutter, Big Money Low Personality gaming website. We became way too serious for a website that wanted to place our honesty into a lighthearted humor? that everyone would appreciate. The truth is, none of us are making any money by doing this. I, Everyday Chris, Sworrior Barry, Splinter 47, CH Gorog,? and whoever else is gracious enough to contribute to this website, does so out of our passion for gaming and for our need to try and inform the people about all the good and bad in the industry from the eyes of the gamer itself and not some jaded journalist.
With that being said, consider the start of 2013 to be a sort of ?Reboot? for the Better Gaming Bureau. The layout isn?t changing all that much, the writers are still the same, and the podcasts we put out every week will still be heard on schedule. The difference here is the attitude. We are not employees of any large media corporations getting paid to write about video games, so we?re going to stop acting like we are. From game alphas being released as full priced titles, to blatantly misleading articles, to just straight up bad games, there is a lot of bullshit out there this day and age. Our original vision for this site was for each of us to be ?Agents? of the the industry, who would cut through the bullshit and give our real raw thoughts, good or bad, on everything that caught our attention in the Video Game world, all while being entertaining and lighthearted in our endeavors.
So from now on, we are harkening back to that original vision. We are not writers, We are not professionals. We are gamers. We are Agents. We?re here to provide you with articles, videos, and podcasts that give honest opinions on everything we come across in this industry. Join our community, and we can open up the lines of communication that will help make everyone?s gaming lives better, one word at a time.?
