Why Pixel Kill? Originally it was a short-lived games review site I created years ago after being laid off as Games Editor for a major US website. Yes, I was a dot bomber.  I chose the name for a bunch of reasons, but mainly it sounds fairly cool and is a reference to what us gamers often do - kill pixels. I decided to name my first entry into the Blogosphere after the old site mainly because I still like the name and I own the domain. And why not?

I start this little blog having just closed a fairly massive website that I’ve run for seven years.  17 million impressions and 100,000 users a month, millions of forum posts and, just before we closed, we hit 1000 forum users online at once - I’m sure those numbers will mean something to someone, but just trust me it was a monster. It’s a pretty insane thing to let go of but the end of an era is often the start of a new one. Hence, my Pixel Kill blog.

It’s nice to get back to doing a website on a shoe string and having a good reason to start writing more again. As the saying goes, writing is a muscle and I feel like mine has atrophied far too much. Expect posts about games, occasionally technology, and very infrequently real life. I’ll try and keep it interesting, promise.
