Hello, this is my first blog-post here on DIncgamers.com, and i want to thank you for reading this. I know some of you will disagree, but that's only fair.
Also the game's i might depict here as bad are all good games, i am only comparing their lenght and replay value and context.

I myself am pretty hard gamer. (+9 hours day, more on holidays/weekends ) and i am bit disapointed on the gaming scene at the moment, with it's "rushed games" and it's bad aspects....

For those who are unsure of what I'm doing, or rather, have been doing for a long time, I'm working on a septumvirate or some variation of that word that somehow makes sense. Essentially one of each class, and they're being forced...
