Introduction/ Who Does this Guy Think he is?

Welcome to my blog!  If you're on this blog, you probably either stumbled here by accident or you might know me elsewhere.  I thought I'd use this first post as my introduction to the wonderful world of the internet and by extension, the world.

My name is Herbert Lawrence Praskey.  Sometimes you'll see me as La Bomba Frita on certain websites like the Extra Credits Forum or on DeviantART.  I came up with the name in high school while flipping through a Spanish-English Dictionary during Spanish class. 

I'm currently in my last semester of Game Programming an my first semester of Game Design at Tyler Junior College.  I've always loved video games, and have decided I want to make a career of developing them.

I decided to make this blog to chronicle my adventures in Game Development.  That's how I can best describe my experience learning to develop games.  It's a journey without any destination.  I'll also be posting progress on any of the countless projects I've got going on.  If I ever have anything to say about Game Development or the game industry as a whole, It'll go here as well.

In the far (or near) future, I would like to start my own game development studio.  It's also my dream to create a website where an average Joe like you and  me can go to learn how to develop games.    I want to see a day when little six year old Susy and her Grandmother can bond together designing and developing their own adventure game. The tools are out there for free, all it takes is a little dedication and a lot more learning.

Thank you for reading my introduction all the way through.  I'm hoping this is a start of something special and that I'll be catching your attention in the future.  I'm very exited for the adventures to come and I hope to share them with you. :)
