Just another way to say hello…

I’ve decided to give this another shot, except I’ve found a focus for my writing with regards to this domain name.  Though it’s gone unused for a long time, the Rageslave domain was originally created as a play on words.  I came up with it back at GoDaddy, when we were tossing the phrase ‘wage slave’ around, and after a particularly bad call, I changed the W to an R, and there it was.  Nowadays, though, I’m happy with my job, and less angry than I used to be.  When I thought about it, though, this is still fitting for what I do now, and what I want to do.

I suppose I should start with a bit of a personal introduction, just in case.  Hi!
…..  alright, seriously.  I’m Dave, 29 and an undergraduate at Cascadia CC, aspiring to transfer to the University of Washington.  I’m pursuing a bachelor’s in cultural anthropology.  Right now, I’m working in the gaming industry, in what’s probably the best job I’ve had in my decade or so of work experience.  Ideally, I’d like to remain in the industry after I finish school, which leads to what I want to do.   I’d like to engage the gaming community somehow once I’m done.  The gaming culture itself is still actively growing and forming, and I want to be part of that as more than just an observer.

The name is a bit of a stretch, but it seems to me that more than a fair share of gamers do nothing but get angry at video games, to the point that they play every game just to rage.  But, at the same time, they keep playing.  Playing all the time, they end up being a bit of a slave to their rage.  Thus, Rageslave.

I’ll do what I can to keep this updated, both with just general information relating to shit that’s going on with me, and if I can help it, some sort of general information relevant to the subject at hand.  But, until that point, pleasure to meet whoever may wander across this.
