Embarrassingly, I’ve avowed to write once a week as a New Year’s resolution right here on BitMob.com in order to grow as a writer and to explore many of the issues that surround our most beloved industry — and I have not been able to live up to that very promise. Just because the chips are down, and I can’t think of another cliché, that doesn’t mean I’m willing to give up!

It may have been that I’ve invalidated [and later scrapped] nearly every countless topic I’ve written up in Word Document, or may feel that I’ve already answered many of the curiousities I’ve had as gamer. Either way, I’m coming out of the closet — this has gone on for far too long! I need some ideas!

For nearly every night leading up until now, I’ve been contemplating about some potential prompts: Vying for Your Time, Daunted by a New Set of Controls, Satisfaction in Games, Are Video Games Art?, What Makes FPSes so Replayable?, even insofar as to write about what makes for a “great” gaming prompt. In terms of making a “great” gaming prompt, I’ve ironically had no such luck.  

So please BitMob community, I beg of you, bounce ideas off of this tired mind and I’ll show you! I’ll show all of you, just wait and see!
