So I utilize and love the Steam Category options, my only minor gripe is that you can only set them to a single category at a time (excluding Favorites) so for someone as occasionally neurotic at sorting as I am at times, it can be an occasional pain. As such I will use a modified version of my categories as tags for the games I review (Steam or otherwise).
Name(s) (Tear)
Developer/Manufacturer
Platform
Classification(s)
The Game Title will also be the name of the post for easy browsing in the calendar. Some titles are known to have alternative titles, change at some point after release or have a ridiculous amount of sub-titles like a George Lucas productions. The Year will be included to differentiate the version of the game played. With all the reboots, remasters, re-releases, etc saturating the market at the moment I just want to let you know what version I'm talking about to clear up any conclusion. The Developer will be listed for my own benefit. I'm embarrassed to admit this but I'm very NOT in the know as to who makes what games aside from a few favorites or things I picked up thru repetition or attrition. Platform, again most will be the PC but I may reference back to anything I may have previously played elsewhere, etc.
Classifications:
Single - single player campaign (option); arcade or puzzle/platformer derivative
Co-Op - cooperative campaign setting (optional or required); specifically LAN style or otherwise
Multiplayer - online connection required, thrown out into the tubes like a little lamb for the slaughter, god help you with rando PUGs.
Arcade - minimal writing, text typically optional for intensive purposes (i.e. Pac-man)
Instance - Various maps with objectives to complete (i.e. any MOBA, TF2)
Sandbox - open world wandering environment (i.e. GTA series)
Story - some actual writing was done for the game and a narrative suggests you move in a particular direction of sorts. (i.e. Assassin's Creed series)
**to be added to as I determine other specifics**

TBD Placeholder
So been a long long time since I was writing on a regular basis (4+ years by the looks of this long forgotten Blogger page) so I may or may not be getting back into this.
Simplistically labeled 'gaming' and will utilize the various definitions as I see fit.
1) I play vidya games. One of the PC master race, I have been known to slum on phones and with various handhelds or consoles when visiting friends--I just don't see the value in it as fast as companies turn them out anymore. Not to pretend that PCs aren't equally as bad about it but I give them a bit o pass when it comes to that as I can continually upgrade or use prior version setup to accommodate older titles. I'm specifically going to use this to wade in the deep end of my Steam profile and play some of the many many MANY games I've picked up in bundles, sales, or trades in the past.
Speaking of which I am open to swapping games or codes or in some rare instances items through Steam. http://steamcommunity.com/id/skelefish/
2) I do in fact make a minor appearance on phone gaming. I detest the costs associated with them akin to console gaming so I rarely have the newest anything until I upgrade so then for about 6 months I smile to myself. I'm 31 and have had a grand total of 5 cell phones total, period in my life. I miss my indestructible Nokia or the uber-manly flip phone which had more dings, scratches, chips in it that an car after a monster truck rally, but never dropped a signal or killed a battery under a week. Namely I have 3 games that I keep* on my phone currently:
Puzzles & Dragons (ID 335 603 369) always looking for new players to swap "presents" with, plus got into this with a coworker and her kid so it's fun enough tetris + pokemon;
Doctor Who: Legacy, much of the same as the first but allows for offline play which is nice; &
Trivia Crack which is only there because I haven't decided to delete it yet--all games are well and forfeit atm so :P
3) I am an RPG roleplaying, pen 'n paper gamer. Specifically I'm limited to Dungeons & Dragons 4th edition, but I'm trying to broaden my horizons some. Don't be surprised if I regail a few stories, character concepts, etc from this branch as well. I did have an older blog ("deleted" for all that does in the internet but I'm not sure if any of it is still accessible to anyone besides me. I have created some OC from other fandoms that may weasel their way in here at some point as well whether legitimately in a system or not.
4) I tabletop game, card games, party games, board games, puzzle and brain twisters, etc. Wil Wheton & Felicia Day had an awesome concept and I am so proud of them encouraging families to get back to simple pleasures like a game night. On this branch I foresee stories, recommendations, memories, etc.
As for anything else if you'd like to see anything or ask any questions feel free to do so as I am more apt to respond or update as this goes on about its business.
