[FAQ, Introduction] Welcome to Geemu Otaku Desu!

Hello, and welcome.

It appears you have stumbled upon my blog, Geemu Otaku Desu (Name is subject to change! It's a place holder...for now.)

Geemu otaku desu? What?

Geemu Otaku Desu is Japanese for "I'm a game otaku." Otaku is basically someone who is really into something. And I mean, really into it.

It is often associated with Japanese anime and manga nerds who don't really leave the house or shower...

...Don't worry, I shower often and leave the house just as much.

But I do love games. I especially love Japanese games.

What can I expect from this blog?

I have a vision, you see. I have taught myself Japanese for 7, possibly 8 years now. This has enabled me to speak, write, read and understand Japanese to a reasonable level. So, I often play games in Japanese.

Being a gamer who lives in England, I know how restricting it can be. I mean, the US always gets games before us. Japan as well. Hell, Japan get some games that Western gamers will never see due to lack of localisation and/or the fear that most Japanese developers have - "It won't be that well received in the West." which is a crying shame!

I know Japanese games are not for every one, but from my experience, there are so many people who want to play all these Japan exclusive games but cannot because of language barriers or they can't afford to import it.

I know that feel, bro. I know that feel.

And thus, inspired by that, I had this vision of making a blog dedicated to Japanese games. I want this blog to open the world of Japanese games to people. Even if you can not play the games, you can read about them, follow the story and be somewhat involved in them.

Just because you cannot read Japanese, doesn't mean you cannot enjoy and experience these games. So that is my vision. To get Japanese games out there.

It's nothing groundbreaking and probably has been done before but I'm doing this for fun. I enjoy games, I enjoy playing them, I enjoy writing about them.

It'll make me especially happy if others can enjoy them with me, hence this blog.

So... I hope you enjoy what I have here! Comment, get involved, message me, shout at me, cry at me...do anything! Just get involved with my posts and what I have to offer.

What if I have a game I want you to review or play?

By all means, let me know. I am a poor college student so I may not be able to go out and buy it and review it immediately, but let me know of it's existence, I can do research on it and write about it. Then, I'll probably end up buying it, writing about it, doing a Let's play of it. Don't be shy. I'll take anything on. Even ecchi. I love ecchi games.

You like... ecchi games?

So! I hope this has cleared up everything. Please enjoy my blog.
