Three Years of Bloodshot Eyes

It has been a little over three years since I launched the site Bloodshot Eyes gaming website and it has been a journey in its own.

When I started the site I had people excited about the idea of a site where we could post updates and tips about the games we were playing and how we could help others get the most from their favorite games. Tips and tricks mostly along with the standard reviews. It really all stemmed from by Tech Blog that has been rather positive for me and I have received a good feedback from the post I have made there. So it seemed obvious to make the same thing only for gaming.

What I didn't realize at the time was that my tech blog's "success" was developed over time and the posts I have made where made only occasionally when I had experienced the issue myself and no other site existed with a easy solution. This is what my tech blog did. Defined the problem and provide the tested solution.

When it came to doing the same this for gaming, a few things were realized and it was hard thing to get going. I found that when I was playing games and had any issues, I wasn't concerned about documenting the solution, I just wanted to get back to gaming. And that was another thing. Due to work commitments, finding to time play game was often limited to weekends and I wasn't thinking about blogging.

Since then I have turned Bloodshot Eyes into a site where it was all about gaming. Not focused on tips, but news and other gaming topics that took my interested. My vision for the site becoming a community I have realized would need a lot of full-time commitment which I don't have the time for. Doing Twitch streaming under the brand would require a schedule if I was to be able to gain any viewers is something I can't commit to.

So what's the purpose?

I love gaming. I love discussing it and I love sharing. So that is what I will continue to do no matter how little the audience may be. I will continue to make posts about the industry and the products we are getting out of it and what we hope to see in the future.

Gaming is bigger than what a lot of people see it as and I would like to be apart of it. And this is it. My site. Bloodshot Eyes. And as it grows, I hope that my friends continue to find an interest to help contribute to its growth.
