About

Hello! My name is Christen, (a.k.a IncreaseBlue on Twitter).

I started this blog to further pursue my passion in journalism and combine that with my interests in video games. It sounds completely nerdy of course (and who’s to argue?) however, I wish to go beyond the “hum drum” of reporting on the gaming world.

After experiencing a lot of the same formulas in reporting related to video games (i.e. game review, game announcement, game review, game announcement, oh snap! guess what? Another game review!) I wanted to reach further into the genre and maybe discover something new. I can’t argue that the past formulas aren’t important (what would video game reporting be without them?) but I do wish to try and “shake things up” as it were (and in doing so, not sound like a total nerd).

Being that I myself am a dork/nerd/oddball/gamer/musician/movie buff, this blog will no doubt be a long stretch from the “usual” blogs out there that try to tackle things in one single way—professionally or…..not. So if nothing else I can guarantee that this blog will supply an ever-changing momentum and speed, but I hope that everyone will be along for the ride.

So with that in mind I do wish that if you give this blog a chance it will (at best) intrigue you, and at the very least, make you laugh.

Now you can press start again.

-Christen (a.k.a. IncreaseBlue)

Hey Christen,

Nice blog! I run a game site myself called PopuGamer, which is focused on 100% user reviews for games (kind of like a Yelp for gamers). We just recently launched the site, and I was wondering if you might be interested in writing about us or letting your readers know? We’re a small team here, just me and my friend from college, and we’re trying to get the word out about our site. Feel free to shoot me an email if you’re interested, and if not, no worries!

Thanks, and keep up the great work!
