was this game any good

I'm rated very low elo, i've only just started playing. I'd say this was my best, i did have another game that may have been better recently but foolishly caused a stalemate rather than a mate by mistake. 

Nice game! Bit sketchy from both players, but you definitely proved (in quite a dramatic fashion) that you were simply superior. If you're ever stuck looking for a good move, just remember CCA. Checks (attacking the king), Captures (taking a piece), and Attacks (threatening to take a piece). In the game, some of black's pieces were available for capture for a bit too long before you noticed. While it's great you eventually did, as you inevitably climb the elo ladder on your journey to GM, it's important to always be on the lookout for those hanging pieces. All in all, good work and nice win!

I avoid checks with single pieces that i cant follow up on because i find a lot of the time it just allows them to push forward pawns for free. I also tend to avoid captures of pieces that pose little risk in favour of later developments, but i'm probably going seriously wrong there in some way.

The game is incredibly bad. Both players play random moves. No matter if they can win a piece or lose a piece, they just play something random.

did you do an analysis? if so, what did it say? if not, why not? doing an analysis is much more helpful and provides much better feedback than asking random people on forums.

I did it said i had a great move and some errors and such, but most moves it doesn't really say anything.

You are confusing "Game review" and "Analysis". But whatever, the point would be to look at the biggest mistakes (by both players) and try to learn from them.

Look at that game again. On move 6, black played Nc6, leaving his bishop on a6 undefended. You can just take the bishop for free. Or you can play b5, winning a piece that way. Instead, you played a random move. Next move, your opponent defended the a6 bishop, but you can still win a piece with b5. You played another random move.

Most moves in that game are just random moves with no purpose. And quite a few of them loses material.

I didn't bother taking that bishop because he wasn't a threat, if he took mine the king would have had it which is why he didn't. So i took the perogative with the pawn.

You need to rethink your priorities. Taking a piece for free is a very big deal. It's a game winning advantage to be up a piece. "Didn't bother taking that bishop" doesn't make any sense at all.

Does it matter what pieces are on the board, at the end of the day it's about getting to checkmate.

Are you kidding? I certainly hope so.

Taking the bishop that's pinned anyway, on the corner of the board isn't helping me advance pieces in the centre, where i am going to force through overwhelming power to the top of the board.

As I said, you seriously need to rethink your priorities. Material is much more important than you seem to think. Playing in the center is important, but winning a full piece is 100 times more valuable.

If you don't worry about what pieces are on the board, you'll usually get there pretty quick.

If i took it would have lost me exactly the same material as it did theirs, what good is it.

Obviously winning theirs without losing yours is a better deal. How was taking the bishop going to lose you material?

I did when the knight moved.

Did take the bishop you mean? Yes, but that's only because he let you. You were obviously not paired with MC.

You did NOT. The guy played Nc6 on move 6, leaving his bishop free to be taken, and you played a random move.
