Bah humbug, another one
of those bloggers I see.
Yes, its another new
start. In all fairness, this is a very old blog that has been
washed of its youthful political finger pointing and closer to an
older, more mellowed view of more day to day musings. Satisfied now
that I won't be changing the world and changing hearts and minds, I
can focus on the more grown up attitude of telling people my opinions
whether they like it or not about more mundane things that doesn't
have the word Geopolitical in mind in the slightest.
The return to Blogger
represents perhaps boredom, or frustration with the current drama over YouTube ads, or a longing to make something more of my
YouTube-Twitch affair where I naively believe it make turn into a
money making venture where I get paid to do what I like to do in my
spare time. Thinking on it like that, with a little liberal
interpretation, I get enough from Streaming to fund the habit called
Gaming. While entering into
credit now and then I've roughly made gaming pay since streaming; at
least in order to buy more gaming related things in boxes.
Again, in fairness,
this comes from a life long interest in my chosen subject; Gaming,
filtered through a category that is largely untouched: European
and PAL formats to create
something that is perhaps at least slightly unique. I've debated
whether to build my own website on a number of occasions, rarely
getting further than initial planning phases, so perhaps a bit of
blogging might stir the passions and push myself one way or the
other. I get a number of thoughts that I sometimes feel the need to
express to an audience (namely: The Internet) and without the obvious
routes of Twitter and Facebook (you won't find me on either of these)
my chance of exposure is low.
So
lets have a look at how many views my 6 articles I wrote back in 2007
received. Oh wow 500 views in 10 years.
I do say I am impressed. That's roughly one a week. Lets see if we
can beat that.
As
I write this, I have just finished the Order of Ambrosia quest on
Final Fantasy 12, and quite a bit of work required for that too. I
won't be attempting to repeat the feat anytime soon (not without PC
cheats that inevitably
get added to every remaster Square-Enix has made – remember
when Enix made their own games? Oh
I'm sidetracking). My next goal will most likely to now go and finish
the game again, possibly before the Wife falls asleep in boredom
watching me chain 50 or so enemies just for something else to pop up.
As
for Geopolitical, I realised there will probably be some of that
anyway. International Version
anyone? Oh just for Japan?
An island barely bigger than the UK is itself? Yeah, well they are
making up with it with some HD graphics in Final FantasyXII: The Zodiac Age I can't wait
to try... Once Sony exclusivity expires and it gets released on PC.
So
what can you expect from here in the future? Mostly retro gaming
talk, some things about my videos and streaming and even a little
programming that I still do now and then. For now, some link plugs to
