BLOG58: Five Years!
Creation date: 14 Nov 2005 01:55:26
Wow, what was I doing in 2005? I think I was starting out video game school at the NAD. What were you doing in 2005?
- 2005 is the year they unveiled and officially announced the Wii, PS3 and Xbox360 to the public.
- The Hot Coffee scandal was still in the media.
- Splinter Cell Chaos Theory got released
- So did God of War 2
- Psychonauts
- Guild Wars
- Battlefield 2
- Indigo Prophecy and so many other awesome games were released.
Sadly, since I’ve changed hosting company and servers twice since 2005, I’ve lost everything of what was my blog back then…
These memories bring me to a question; Why in the first place did I create a blog? Myspace was big, Facebook was starting to get big… why would I go and create a blog instead of a social network profile page?
I guess I just wanted to know what was a blog so I did a little research and stumbled on Justin Hall, one of the earliest blogger and thought to myself: this must be cool to know your blog was there at first when it all started. Even though I was almost 10 years later and blogging was almost dead already I decided to open myself a blog just to be part of those who have had a blog.
From that point on it became a melody of random stuff I posted, half-assed game reviews and other things I found on the net. As time passed by my posts became more coherent and I actually found a purpose for the blog; my little digital footprint on the web. I will keep this blog going as long as I can so that one day some dude can see the common: “PLG WAS HERE 2005 – 20XX”.
In 2015, for the 10 year anniversary, I’ll throw a party and invite all my readers out. It’s a promise.
