Hi all! I know it’s looking basic at this point, but bear with me while I settle in to my new blog. Welcome to Working Casual: Gaming, Media & Tech Blog! Written by yours truly, DomsPlaying (just Dom is fine).

As noted in the sidebar, this is a place where I’d like to interact with the community to discuss video games, the gaming industry and related businesses including media and technology in a way that we all can understand.

My background covers both these various industries and research, business and analysis as I have degrees in both Economics and Journalism & Media Studies, and currently work in the financial data field with hobbies of gaming, following digital media and keeping up on the latest technology. I had a brief foray into blogging earlier in my career, and have been meaning to revisit this interest as the medium evolves and digital media industry expands overall. Not to mention I need to use those writing skills! On a personal level, I’m based in the Tri-State and come from a family-oriented, Italian-American background that loves good food and fun times together.

So ultimately I would like to initiate discussions on topics related to all of these, and provide perspective while also chatting about the games I’m playing, media stories I’m following and technology I’m using. I know that’s ambitious for the internet, but let’s roll with it for now.

I look forward to expanding on this first post, and meeting like-minded folks that have similar interests. Thanks for reading, and feel free to reach out via social media links to the right or email as I’m always open for a good chat or debate.
