Birth of The Edge

Nothing comes from nothing.
Everything comes from something.

Usually it is a combination of substance and time that creates amazing things.

So it was in the mid of October, 2007 that I found myself finally in position to mount a major attempt to compete in an online game. A combination of personal freedom, financial security, and patience united to form an opportunity to adopt a hobby.

For games, I chose the online game, Puzzle Pirates. It improves player intelligence, and has many engaging, nonviolent challenges and fun themes. But the gameplay is as hardcore and competitive as any other medium. I have played it casually for well over a year or two. This will be my first major venture into heavy competition.


But everything in steps. To simply toss my hat in the ring would be careless. Instead, the Digital Edge must be formed.

The process will take awhile. I have a 2-weeks headstart that will prove to be a drop in the bucket, and 2 years of backwork that will be invaluable.
