Two ideas. One guy. My job here is done.
First Blog Idea: We live in a world where nerd culture is on the rise. Many people belong to the different “Fandoms” of today’s pop culture. It’s gone beyond Trekkies versus Ringers. Any sort of fantastical or science fictional story now has armies of devoted fans who would go to war with each other just to prove that their swashbuckling hero is far superior to those other people’s brooding one. What I intend to do is to put these theories to the test. Take two characters of different universes and genres, research them, analyze their strengths and weaknesses, decide who would win in some sort of fight, and then present this information in a humorous fashion.
Second Blog Idea: I love board games. When it comes to them, I’ve got a Monopoly. It’s a pity that so few people play them anymore, it’s not like it’s Taboo. So, I’m taking a Risk. It’s a careful Operation, but hey, that’s Life. Still don’t know what I’m gonna do? Need a Clue? Guess Who is going to review board games? Me! Yes, I’ll do that and offer good Stratego- er strategies on how to win. It may be a Trivial Pursuit, but if my strategies are as good as my puns, then it’ll be CandyLand.
Both ideas are very clever! I don’t know much about science fictional characters, but it sounds like it would have interesting posts! I love your board game idea, my brother is obsessed with the fact that he always beats me in board games so I would love reading about strategies. Both are great ideas, very creative!
Although I enjoyed the playful language in the second idea, I think I would be more inclined to read a blog focused around the first idea. The combination of fandom and humor would make for an enjoyable read.
I love the board game idea, partly because of that creative paragraph. I feel like they are somewhat of a lost art that has fallen to video games and other electronic entertainment. I know there is still a dedicated community that loves and makes new games, and I would like to know more about that.
Mike I think you have some wonderful ideas. I would be particularly interested in a blog about board games. I haven’t played many board games but I used to play them more when I was younger. When I did play them my strategy and understanding of the game was not very deep so I would be interested to read about the complexities of these games that I perhaps never realized.
