welcome

Karmic gamer... I've started yet another online publication I'm probably not going to keep up with very well. Hahah, apologies in advance.

The idea behind Karmic Gamer is to not only look at games from a reviewing, mechanical perspective, but to look at the possible messages that may intentionally or more likely unintentionally lie in the story of pixels being woven on the screen. Examine plotlines, characters and concepts for a broader meaning that we can bring into our lives. Why do would we even want to bring these kinds of things into our lives? I don't know. Maybe we'll find out.

So pretty much as I come along things in games, or think of things as I'm playing games, I will put all of my thoughts here. This will also be a fun way for me to integrate three things I like: writing, videogames, and yoga. (I'm going to be a certified yoga teacher in January--how crazy! Me teaching yoga...)

You can tell or at least suppose by the way that I talk that I'm a yoga teacher in training, because all of this sounds like the spiritual mumbo-jumbo a yoga teacher would say towards the end of the class while everyone is lieing down and resting in svasana. If this is not the thing for you and you think I sound like a hippie flower child who came a few decades too late and missed the '60s, please don't stick around and needlessly criticize. (but I do love constructive criticism to death, so if there are comments that can help my writing, fire away)
