Hello :)

Ahh, the first post :) It's always a special one.

Let's start with a bit of history.

The original idea for GameLemon, as it often happens, arose out of a bit of desperation. This particular, and I imagine rather often-encountered flavor of desperation, was the kind that comes from suddenly (or not so suddenly) realizing that what you do for living has become a thing much different from what you would like to be doing for a living. I like to write, and play video games. I work as an IT consultant for a large consulting company. Some years ago, I somehow thought that the two paths might intersect at some point in the future. Don't ask me how, exactly. I just did. In recent years, having choked on a good, hearty dose of reality, I have arrived at the inevitable understaning that my profession and my passions are as likely to interesect as those two evergoing strips to steel that make up a railroad track.

Now understand this - I am a fairly lazy man. I like to sleep in. I like to lay on the beach. I like to hang out and not do much at all. A man like that needs to be pretty unhappy and pretty desperate to be moved to dedicate significant efforts in his already severely limited spare time to work on some kind of project - any project. I, apparently, was that desperate. Desperation, however, is not enough. I know this, to quote the infamous Tyler Durden, because vaga knows this. I have worked on projects before - besides being a lazy man, I am also an imaginative man, and ideas creep into my head on a fairly regular basis. But imagination is also not enough. All of those writing and programming projects sit in some unfinished state on my computer, long forgotten. This time around, I had both desperation (from my career) AND passion (from my love of writing and gaming).

Time will tell, but so far, I think am already doing better.
