What's in the pipeline?

Ok so after 10 years of planning things are finally starting to fall into place.For those of you that know me through Youtube you will no doubt have seen (or at least noticed) my GTA 4 guide videos.Although I made them for your benefit there was more reasoning behind it.

You see I've been gaming since the early 80's and like most gamers I've always wanted to get into the industry to some degree.After spending a crappy month pulling pints in a pub followed by 7 years of working my backside off for a company that cares more about it's public image than treating it's employees fairly I finally made the decision to take the chance and go for it.As a result I've spent the last year or so putting together business plans and going through course after course to make my dream a reality.

This blog is "phase 2" of my plan of having my review site.Before I hear the whole "You won't get success from a blogspot if you want to review professionally" Let me explain.I've sorted something that will eventually fund a professional site (i'm not going to go into details but rest assured it is totally legal) but in the meantime I want somewhere other than just youtube where I can explain what is going on,what I am working on as well as posting my reviews,opinions and updates on any guides while the rest of the business takes shape.Once the site is up and running this blog will then become my behind the scenes area.Where you will get a look into how hard it is breaking into the industry and find out a little more about what goes on from day to day....I may end up doing an mmo diary here also.Yes Yes I know big bad Bensonrecon with his hours and hours worth of GTA videos,20 a day cigarette habit, goatee, hoodies and baseball caps is a closet LOTRO fan! What the hell we all have a damn cross to bare!

I'm also looking into other ways of getting you all involved too.Which I'll get into at a later date but there's no doubt that everyone that reads/watches or comments will all have the oppurtunity to contribute in whatever way they want (or don't) as time goes on.

Anyway I'm gonna stop as I really should be doing better things with my life at gone 4:30am for those who don't like reading I'll be doing more with my youtube channel,etc alongside this so you can keep up to speed with what's going on.Thanks for taking time to read this and thanks to everyone that has shown me support over the last few years.
