Celebration Time
Yup, this very blog has now passed the magic number 300, and that’s quite a milestone for me—and for all of you around the world who read the blog on a regular basis. I would never have reached 300 without you guys, and the other writers who’ve helped along the way have been hugely important for keeping my motivation up. Thanks a lot, everyone!
It’s been 2.5 years now, and the visitor numbers are still growing—same goes for the regular readers. I really wish the blog had a better account system, with more options handled directly by users, but the platform does have its limitations. That said, I’m working hard to get help in place to bring the new blog interface fully up and running.
There have already been several new features since post 200. The YouTube script and image scripts have been modified and upgraded quite a bit, and there’s more on the way (hopefully!). Date stamps are coming, along with a calendar-style frontend, and there will also be an option to receive email notifications whenever there’s a new post, update, or comment.
I’ve got all the recording equipment ready, but my streaming and YouTube accounts still aren’t fully set up. The main problem is that I struggle quite a bit with Windows-based video editing tools. I’m currently stuck using FFmpeg on the Amiga along with software that crashes all the bloody time, so yeah—motivation isn’t exactly at its peak yet. That said, I will get it running, but I refuse to use a PC to do so, so please bear with me.
Other updates: I still haven’t bought a PlayStation 4. While I do want one mainly for inFAMOUS: Second Son, I think I’ll wait until after summer. By then, games like Driveclub and The Crew might finally be out as well.
My game backlog has shrunk by over 60% since January—and by that I mean more than 50 games, probably more. Counting PSN titles can be a tough nut, hehe. Going back to older games has been both fun and painfully boring at times, but some have been absolutely fantastic, making it well worth the effort.
The most read post of 2014 was my Ride to Hell review, part of the “most crappy games” series I ran around New Year’s. That said, it still hasn’t come anywhere close to the legendary stripping promotion for Gangs of London, which is still going strong!
Thanks for taking the time to read, and I hope to see—and write for—you for at least the next 100 posts.
