The Ritual


Hello, I am Mitch, and this is my blog.

I best tell you what I'm all about. My accompanying picture has a few clues for you....

I am a student in my early twenties studying at QANTM College in Surry Hills, Sydney, AUSTRALIA!! What I am studying is something along the lines of video game design (well, technically, I'm doing a Bachelor of Interactive Entertainment, but that sounds wanky. Thank god I didn't tell you about my programming major... oh wait..)

Apart from the aformentioned-gaming passion, I also appreciate all forms of art (not interpretive dance, most dancers have got to stop pretending they're not ladies of the night). I also think too much, so I'm into philosophy (though I fail to understand WHY someone would relish in being a morally-bankrupt delinquent).

Oh, and I'm somewhat of a skirt-chaser. Not a "me want to bang you" skirt chaser; a more sophisticated and respectful admirer of the opposite sex (though my pickiness has resulted in me not being as successful as I should be).

Oh jeez, I spoke too much too soon. Well, I shall post again once something of importance comes to mind, but before I go, here are some blog posts I have done on Destructoid.com (a "hardcore" gaming community site):

About the extorsion Australian consumers have to face with gaming purchases:

Some nice graffiti stencils my fellow students and I had made at college (game related):

Adios!
