Hello, and thank you for taking the time to visit! My name is Carlton, but online I go by my pen name DaNamesX (DA – NAMES – X). I have been gaming from around ’95 and it has been a part of my life since. This blog is a mixture of my thoughts on games that I’ve recently finished, looking through my collection a sharing stories about them, and my general thoughts about games in general. The post I share are not reviews. Rather, they are my thoughts that I had about the game as I played it or reflected on after finishing it. Some of my earlier work my have a review feel to them, but I have since moved on from that format.

Outside of my storytelling, I like to write post on other gaming subjects that I feel like sharing. I will try to keep the humor going, but there may be times where I have to take a serious note from time to time. Be on the look out for some of these post from me:

• Backlog Tales – My thoughts on games that I’ve recently finished for the first time.
• Collection Tales – Posts that talk about games in my collections that I’ve already finished, but want to talk about.
• Opinions Are Just That – My opinion pieces on various topics that I feel like talking about.
• EXP Share Post – A fun collaboration event that is open to everyone! On random months, a topic is selected that anyone can respond to. No pressure if you don’t have a story to share with everyone else. Enjoy others stories and join in the fun when you can!
• Personal Collection Updates – Just a nice time capsule to check my progress on things.
• One-Off Posts – For special days, I like to come up with special post. Various on what the post will be about.

I hope that gives you a good jest of my content. I’m just a simple guy who enjoys video games and likes to talk about them. But you don’t have to take my word. I will let the following quotes from various people let you know great the content is here!
