I supposed a few of you wondered where I was.

I’d love to offer this amazing story filled with adversity, struggle, challenges, and overcoming all obstacles.

The truth of the matter is that life got far busier than expected, I didn’t have as much time to game, and I uh, I sort of forgot my password.

Yeah, it happens. I could make up a brilliant excuse, but that’s what it boils down to.

But I’m getting back into my old gaming ways, and I’ll have a few things to discuss, including a review after this brief interlude.

It’s been a few days since my last post, but there’s been a few subjects on my mind.

Of of which is the new site Pitch.Win.Play – run my a long-time friend and industry colleague of mine.

The concept is pretty unique. You’ll have the opportunity to pitch a gaming concept that is reviewed by a panel of judges. If chosen, the selected title will go from concept to reality (i.e. an actual, playable game).

It looks like they are getting some genuine support for the project, most notably from Renegade Kid (of Mutant Mudds fame), as this interview was found on GoNintendo a few days back.

Considering that I have a few aspiring designers that visit this site, this may be the outlet that you’ve been looking for. And there may be some other news regarding this concept that may be coming shortly.

Hey everyone,

My apologies on not updating as much for a couple of weeks now.

I’m still here. I’m still interested in updating the site. Right now, I’ve had a few projects, various gigs, and other things that have been going on in “The Real World” that have kept me busier than expected. As a result, I haven’t had time to play, much less think about gaming. And it’s kind of hard to update a gaming blog when don’t have a few current subjects to discuss. Things are fine and so am I, just busier (way busier) than expected).

That said, my gaming is mostly on the 3DS as I have a few minutes here and there. I picked up Aliens: Infestation recently, and once I get more into the core gameplay, I’ll definitely be talking about that. Once the weather cools down, and life should return back to normal (or whatever passes for it) next month. I’ll try to get an update or two posted in the meantime.

I haven’t forgotten you guys! Honest! And I look forward to catching up soon.

It’s weird to really think about a magazine that has been around for 20 years that has covered a hobby such as video gaming, and now it’s suddenly gone. I remember those first few issues of EGM. Tim Burton’s Batman was all the rage. The Genesis was just coming out, and the Super NES still had a few months to go before it made it’s North American debut. It was all about tips and new games for the NES and Sega Master System, and looking back, it was one of those indelible parts of my gaming youth.

Back then, gaming magazines were special. There was no internet for constant daily news. I had to wait every month before the family took me to the bookstore, and I’ spend part of my allowance to see what I could look forward to next, or a few new screenshots of some game that I was wanting at the time, or even their thoughts on some game I had picked up to see if their thoughts coincided with mine. It was whiling away the Summer months in anticipation of a new Phantasy Star, or the introduction of the first Sonic Read the rest of this entry
