Retrospective: April 2013

April brought everything back into balance for me. I found time to write, play, record, and do all that other cool off-camera stuff the rest of the world can only guess at (though if you guessed, "making an impromptu trip to the grocery store because you had an uncontrollable craving for salad," then you are correct). Here's what happened as it pertains to the Internet:

Groovy. A totally esoteric comic, admission of a videogame crush, a new format for the podcast video posts, and coverage of a game genre I don't talk about nearly enough. Yay variety.

Footage from the livestreaming 2012 Megathon continues to trickle in, and I made an honest-to-goodness video (referred to in one of the posts above).

The Backloggery:

After seeing the frighteningly long list of additions to my Backloggery back in February, I swore I'd cut back on collecting games and start playing more of the ones I had. This went exceptionally well until I was gifted with a mega-pack of fantasy roleplaying games from GOG.com. Only my Backloggery is complaining, though; a lot of these are games I've been curious about, and the rest seem right up my alley.
