I’ve become disillusioned with YouTube and would like to step away for it for an indefinite amount of time. And while I can acknowledge that video is an extremely powerful tool, especially when trying to convey the sights and sounds of a game to an audience, I want to remain more true to myself and challenge myself and focus on the written entries of this blog.
I’ve been doing a lot of thinking, a lot of growing and realized that my online presence should not be about trying to make a living off of my content. That would be a wonderful benefit to be sure, but I am content to express myself, share helpful tips and articles about the topics I’m passionate about and hopefully be of help or inspiration to others.
I’ve decided to start a game club. This game club, Gaming Heartily to stick with the theme, will function somewhat like a book club. I will choose one or two games to focus on in a month (maybe more depending on the length and complexity of the games) and write my thoughts, feelings and observations once a week during play and one after completion. I invite you to join the fun, play along with me, and join in the discussion.
Although my soul belongs to Batman: Arkham Origins right now. I’d like to start this game club off with Fez. If you don’t already own Fez and are interested in buying it, if you own it and would like to play along or if you would just like to follow along, I will begin playing Fez this weekend and have my first journal up next week.
Sounds great, and when I reach a point in school where I can settle into normalcy once again, get a job and play games, etc... I will definitely play along! ^_^ For right now, I am old (26 going on 27 early next year, it's old enough, ok! XD), broke and settling into college all over again, so I will have to be content with few or relatively little gaming along... v.v
ReplyDeleteHowever that said I love this idea, sign me up! Is Gaming Heartily going to have a dedicated site, or are we just hanging out here?
I am sorry things have shifted for you, it seems like a lot of walls came down for you and maybe you took a good hard look at yourself and your life or perhaps just acted on a growing concern or thought you've had for a while. It's never easily going through changes like this and I applaud and appreciate you're sticking around for your fans!
You're a great person and an interesting one to boot! ^_^ Looking forward to the future! Have a great day and remember to smile!
"Just remember that every single day, during the course of your life, there are going to be things that make you angry, upset or seem to undo everything you've been working for, and when those things happen it's only your mind that can make it a bad thing. It's up to you to decide, not only not to get mead or upset, but see the good, funny and possibilities that stem from those very same things. Take life as it comes and never stop looking forward. There's a whole world out there to see, and you simply can't what's ahead of you if you're too busy looking behind." ~ Rickard Talons, my Uncle
Fallowing your heart in such maters is never a mistake, never a decision you will regret. I wish you so so much luck.
ReplyDeleteAnd I love the idea of a game club sounds like it will be a lot of fun. :D
