Name's OKeijiDragon. I'm a student photojournalist in real life, but I especially like video games. DYKG is among my favorite sites, and I want to contribute to sharing more trivia.
I have a YouTube Channel, a Twitter account and a Tumblr blog. I'm interested in contributing to the preservation of game material, history, and content. I've always been fascinated about previous eras of gaming and how they influenced and shaped the industry today. I like documenting, researching, and observing obscure content of certain video games. This is essentially stuff that only less than 1% of the world population would care about, besides admirers of the niche. That's still a lot of people though.
My blog, I post stuff from a lot of different sectors of video games though I hope not to strictly limit my blog to just video games. This is my target list of topics I plan on posting blogs about are:
* I've also started scanning an old 200-page Japanese magazine called Famimaga Magazine Vol. 3. Feb 9, 1996. So far I have scanned up to page 70+, and I have released the first 66 pages on the internet for everyone to enjoy. I'll be posting updates on that on this blog as well.
** I have a few projects that I plan to tackle for the future. One project in particular is an ambitious series of documentaries I'm producing called Shat-Canned Legends, which covers cancelled, unreleased, vaporware video games. Having so much work done on it and so much left to do, I'd like to release it someday. I used to had some music mash-up skills before I got tired of it two years ago too.
*** In the past, I did various video playthroughs called PEMNAS (or Please Excuse My Noob Ass Skills) where I play games badly or otherwise and offer annotated commentary in some of them.
Of course, my chosen profession will prevent me from posting daily everyday but I hope to be dedicated to my followers. If you wanna contact me over Twitter, you're more than welcome to.
NOTE: Why does Preview Post actually post my post on the thread?

- My own short commentary on certain topics in video games, whether they're about nothing or something.
- Scans of interesting articles from old game magazines, Western or Japanese, I buy to have information available in the internet with the hope that it's contents are translated at some eventual point (translations are not guaranteed).*
- The video game projects that I've been working for years**, and their progress.
- Old promotional VHS cassettes that I've ripped and uploaded on my YouTube account (which has about more than one thousand subscribers, with two million+ views of all videos total).
- Videos I create that document prototype builds, differences, or other general oddities and curiosities of video games. I also do "lets plays" in my own series called PEMNAS.***
- Posting comments of current game news and events, or trivial stuff.
- Fun stuff I find on the internet.
- Anything else I find of interest.
