Welcome to Vidya Now.

What exactly is Vidya Now, you ask?

Well, Vidya Now is the latest gaming blog project from two industry vets—myself, Zac North, and my good friend Josiah Nethery.

Here, we want to offer our opinions on the industry—in the form of reviews, news, and editorial pieces.

Now, let me define what Vidya Now is NOT.

Vidya Now is not the next big gaming blog or gaming news source. We’re just having fun here, getting experience—we’re not competing with the big guys. Although we may, at some point, implement forums or grow more, we are still going to be the little guys for quite a while. That means a small staff, and possibly infrequent updates at times. We won’t be able to deliver news as fast as other sources. But if we see something cool—well—we’ll post about it.

Now, let me quickly run down our allegiances.

I am a diehard PC gamer, but these are trying times for one such as myself. For this reason, I currently own all three consoles and a gaming-capable PC. My allegiances basically lie with the 360 and the PC, but I give all games a chance. Cross-platform ports are almost always bought on the 360 (hey, I want my achievements!).

Josiah owns a 360 and a Mac and, like myself, is basically a 360 fanboy. Not much else to say about him here, except that he is slowly turning into a weeaboo, and he plays FFXI nigh-religiously.

So, there you have it. I believe Josiah has written an excellent piece on the System Wars of 2006, currently available for your perusal.
