Another introduction to another site launch

Hey, and welcome newcomers to the Digital Relay.

I’m Adrian Sandoval, And I’ve been off-and-on maintaining this site for a year now. Mostly it’s been a dumping ground for my thoughts on the video game industry in general, but I will be narrowing down the focus to some extent. We’ll be looking at the industry itself no doubt, but there will also be a focus on the community of players within the Jersey/tri-state (Here including PA and NY as well) area. There will be indepth features on hot spots as well as particular people and groups of interest.

So sit back and enjoy the content. New stuff should be kicking off later in the week.

A Relay Reboot

To my fellow readership – Which means Bren. And Jim Klein on occasion. Maybe some people from the formerly-Chrono Crisis forum.

This site is mostly an experiment on my part. In some ways its where I can stretch my legs in my increasingly limited free time in the world of personal blogging/video game journalism. In others,  its so I can have a website to put on my personal business cards and resume. Now it’s going to be a bit more of an official experiment, that of a class project for my online journalism class.

So starting tomorrow, you’ll see a post on the relay introducing the site and myself. That might seem odd, given I did that when I created the site two years ago. But with this new introduction, there will be new people reading, new people commenting, and a lot more content. After all, the new content is going to be required in order for me to get a grade.

I’m not saying I won’t return to the more informal format when this semester is over. I’m not saying there won’t be less content (Or more for that matter) when I don’t have to worry about a grade anymore. I’m saying we’ll see what comes of this. Since I’ll be having the class (which consists of some gamers) reading this blog, I may get readership, comments, and that may be motivation for me to upkeep the site afterward. Or maybe it’ll die off and I’ll go back to the once every other month I feel like talking about something. Who knows! Either way, it’ll be a ride.

So consider this post the heads up for the selective amnesia I’m about to have tomorrow.
