Hello, Everyone! This is my first post on a site like Gamasutra. I always read others blogs on this site and dreamed of a day that one of my posts would be put in the featured section. Before I get ahead of my self let me give you a brief background on just who I am.

My name is Kaylin Norman (Its a man's name). I'm an African-American independent game designer looking to contribute my talent to the industry. I have a lot of unique, and some would venture to say crazy perspectives on certain situations which is no doubt influenced by my Asperger's Syndrome. At first I was really reluctant to post on this site, or any other site, given the recent uproar over the Joystiq post and how bad opinions are not recieved well by the general readers of this site. My posting style is a little weird in that when I'm talking about my opinions, I tend to over analyze and provide information on how I came to my assumptions and opinions, kind of like showing your work[never thought you'd here that again]. My intentions is to lighten up and relax the reader through ver corny humor. I'll sometimes even mispell a f3w w0rdz to get my point accross. My opinions are my own, always.

I'm cutting this post short, because I have a much bigger post in the pipes!

Thank you for taking your time to read this, and I hope that it is well recieved.

Kaylin

well, I have yet to make a first post as well, so I suppose the feeling is mutual. In any case, your style is quite similar to my own, I don't have Asperger's Syndrome but I have always just had an interesting knack for finding an interesting perspective to certain things. I provide corny humor and enjoy making others think proactively and inspire a different view point on certain subjects. I guess I could even go as far as to say that even though I would be pro a certain subject I would go against it just to see how well the pro provides evidence to support their claims. Everyone needs a good fight I always say. Namely, I enjoy discussions and hearing what the minds of others have to say about certain subjects. Suffice it to say, I would enjoy saying something silly to a serious individual who may be very angry at some future position I take on a subject and see how he/she reacts to an outdrawn attempt to diffuse the situation. Gamasutra for one, makes me feel that my posts should be at the very least professional and not a waste of the readers time. But I would be thankful to those that actually waste their time to read the random absorbency that is my world.
