Hello, and welcome to Filthy Casual
Reviews.
I'm the Filthy Casual, and these will
be my thoughts on various games I've played. I will have a fairly
biased approach, I warn you now. I want to enjoy
these games. I only pick the ones I think I'll enjoy, usually from
the internet's unceasing bounty. What follows is a simple Q & A
designed to help you get to know what to expect around here.
Q: Who are you?
A:
I'm the Filthy Casual, aka FC. I've been a casual gamer since 1st
or 2nd
grade, when I discovered the Oregon Trail. That leaves over a decade
of gaming for me to go from Dying of Dysentery to trying to become
the Very Best, to rebuilding the Lost Isles, to starting a zombie
apocalypse, and much more (all of which I intend to talk about).
Q: Why this blog?
A: I like to play
casual games. I like to tell people about casual games. A blog
seemed to be the easiest way to get the information I have out to
people who might want to know it. The games I play are usually
pretty fun, not too difficult, and should have more recognition than
they do; therefor I write about them.
Q: What is this
blog really about?
A: This blog is
all about me sharing the games I enjoy with others who may enjoy
them. I want to let other casual gamers know that they're not alone
– we casuals are numerous, and it isn't fair to us that we get
stigmatized as lesser gamers just because we don't want the
competition of an online FPS surrounded by shrieking middle-schoolers
and off-duty grocery store managers. Besides, I'm already playing
the games, I might as well write about them, too.
Q: Who is this
blog for?
A: This blog is
for Casual Gamers, Internet Gamers, Tabletop Gamers (oh yes, did I
forget to mention my d20 obsession?), and People Who Like to Enjoy
Things. This blog is probably not good for people under 16, since I
do curse on occasion, and I will probably allude to things most
parents do not find appropriate for their wee!ones. I will try to
put a rating on my games to let people know when not to let their
littler-ones read (if any ever try). Effectively, if you wouldn't
want your kid to play Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, don't let them
read this blog unsupervised.
Q: Where are you
getting these games?
A: The internet,
besides being a magical wonderland of interconnecting tubes filled
with cats and excitable pop-stars, is also home to a plethora of
highly entertaining games. I find the games I play in many different
places, so I'll be including a link to wherever the latest game I'm
reviewing can be found within the post itself. Besides the wilds of
internet-land, I also sometimes borrow games from my Source, who in
turn purchases them for herself at various retail outlets. She has
never stepped foot inside a GameStop, to my knowledge, but places
that carry PC games will probably have what she buys for $5-$20. I
will never, ever review a game with a monthly fee, Pay-to-Win, or a
startup cost of over $20 at the time of my review. Not unless it is
the mother of all games (man I miss Scorched Earth for Commodore 64).
Q: When can we, the
readers, expect updates?
A:
Well, the thing is, I've got to play the game (preferably as close to
the whole game as is reasonable) before I can review it, so I'll
update as I get material. The alternate answer (and a framed photo
of a spoon¹
to the reader who gets this reference) is: Inna Minute, Bitsch.
I think that about
wraps things up! This has been the Filthy Casual saying: Go Enjoy
Something!
¹I'm
just kidding, guys. I don't actually have any photographs of
utensils lying around :/ -FC
