Well Hello Again!
Hey folks! Sorry this blog has been so quiet lately! My efforts have been a little erratic as far as writing goes. I want to start this back up again, so here’s an update of where I am at right now.
Front Towards Gamer is going great for me. I went with the gang from their to PAX as press, and it was an amazing experience. I have been doing some experimenting with different style of writing to see what I enjoy doing, and what generates the most response. I’ve been doing PC news articles 3 times a week or so, and they average about 200 hits each. They are fairly easy to write, and once in awhile they get a couple thousand hits, which is really cool. I’m always reading the news, so it’s easy to write up a quick blurb about it and add some of my always fascinating comments.
Off the Beaten Path was an experiment in older games blogging. I mostly play games that are somewhat dated, and I wanted to find a way to talk about them. It’s evolving away from being like a review, and more towards the games unique features and how they could be applied in other games. Doing it weekly really isn’t gonna happen, but I would like to possibly do it monthly. FTG might not be a good fit for it either. They take quite awhile to put together and haven’t really gotten much response. For now, that will be a secondary project.
My reviews and previews seem to be doing really well. I really love the way my review on Dragon Age 2 turned out. I think I really have improved at reviewing over the last year. Look forward to more reviews coming out from me this year.
I want to branch out into movie and music reviews too. I’m not sure where they will go just yet, but it’s something else that will keep me writing daily.
I have penned a couple of short stories lately, which will be going up somewhere on the internet soon. I might start a tumblr for those. I also have a rough idea for a novel that I might start soon.
Oh, and I haven’t given up on game design either! “Caliburn” is still a thing, and it’s still secret. You’ll hear more about that over the summer.
So anyway, I just wanted to let you know that all is well with me.
Keep on gaming people!
This game has been through more name changes than Prince. When first announced, it was called Gothic 4: Genesis, and through its development cycle, it has been called Gothic 4: Arcania, Arcania: A Gothic Tale, and finally they settled on Arcania: Gothic 4. Whatever the game may be called, I am happy to inform you, my beloved reader, that the demo for this game is out now.
This week has not seen a lot of video game time for me. Work is boring and too long, and when I get home I fall asleep.
