Introduction

I, Jacob Powers, am as my friends would describe, Eccentric, Brilliant, casual narcissist, pretty good guy, and generally unique. I decided this being open ended and all to make it an introduction to everyone who will be reading. With this I will start I dislike blogs I find them to be an unevolved social medium as forums used to be and yes someday when the right people start blogging maybe that will change but until then, No. so Personally I am on the band wagon of Games are art debate that is going on along with the standing of net neutrality should be imposed upon the currently high-speed ISP companies. So for everyone who does not know these arguments let me elaborate on the topics. The games are art argument is along the lines that video games as a medium are profane and otherwise rot your soul by playing them. And with out them being considered an art form they will not be considered protected by the 1^st amendment. See (http://www.escapistmagazine.com/videos/view/extra-credits/1961-Free-Speech) for further elaboration on the topic. Now net neutrality is something very big going on right now that very few people outside the tech circles know about. Have you the reader ever heard of it? Net neutrality is something FCC is trying to impose on commercial companies such as charter and comcast that are trying to limit bandwidth usage to certain sites they view unfavorable or the usage of peer to peer networks. But in this process they monitor your in and out connections which is against their own privacy policies. The FCC is trying to deem that the internet falls under the same restrictions phones do today of not being able to limit your calling to certain numbers they can keep record but under no account are they to monitor your calls. Now peer to peer networks are not all for internet piracy there are many many legitimate uses of peer to peer file sharing networks, such as MMO systems that link patch downloading for better speeds and open domain anything, not everything is bad. See (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_neutrality) for more details.
