Have you ever traveled around the world in 80 days? No, me neither. I just wanted to start this off with a moment of your self-reflection.
It's been a while of long whiles since I last posted on my C-blog. Lately I've been writing for a friend's gaming blog he started up. He needed writers and he stole me away from you, my robot family. I, in turn, stole my friend Sadie G away as well and we took part in the glorious conquest of winning the internet.
XX Months later and the internet has yet to be won.
I'm still "working" for the other place, but I drop in here everyday to see how things are going and check up on my old friends. I miss you guys!
Even though the lot of you may not remember who I am, I genuinely miss the fun I had here. I'll try harder to make it a point to post more good quality articles on my C-blog and not just rehash material from my other site like
some nameless douche nozzles that like to spam the Christ out of the blog board.
I really do miss it here. The changes have been hard to get used to since I've come back; not to mention a few of them were reason enough for me to stay away even longer, but I really do want to become more of an active voice around here again.
After PAX a lot of shit happened in my life that made me step away from gaming for awhile and reflect how I was carrying out my life. I’m trying not to paint gaming as a scapegoat for my personal problems, but it was definitely a catalyst, everything else is of my own volition, my own fault. I’ve hurt a lot of people I love by neglecting them due to gaming, but I was the only one who let myself get to the point of neglect. They say that the first step to conquering your addiction is admitting that you have a problem. I say that I have a big fucking problem.
So stepping away from the entire industry for awhile was a hard thing to do, but it was much needed. I feel a little more refreshed now and I've been able to maintain maturity when it comes to gaming lately. I think now is a good time to get back into it.
Craig agrees.
Yeah, it can be rather difficult to create time for everything... Life can sometimes get in the way of gaming. Right?!
