August was a very good month for me, personally and...electronically? Whatever it is I report on the first post of each month. The book The Happiness Project made a big impact, as did getting to spend so much time with family and friends I haven't seen in forever. Even at my most exhausted, I was more at ease and rejuvenated than I've been for some time.
This Blog:
If you're particularly observant, you may have noticed a pattern this past month. In an effort to write more and about more, I launched a personal initiative to write a blog post concerning each of the category tags I'd used for previous posts, in order (so, Anime, Books, Collecting and Collectables, etc.). My original plan was to write a post every day or almost every day, timing it so that this post (tagged as Retrospective) would appear in order after a post on Politics and a post on Religion. Given my travel schedule for the month, it didn't take long to realize the strain that would impose. We'll pretend "R" for "Retrospective" falls squarely between "E" for "Exfanding Your Horizons" and "F" for "Fantasy". A B C D E R F...

GameCola:
One of the more amusing Q&AmeCola responses I've contributed, and probably my favorite thing I've written for GameCola all year. I also spent a fair amount of time behind the scenes, editing old articles to bring them up to code. That's an ongoing project you can assume I'll be working on for the foreseeable future, given that the videogame-humor-turned-gaming-outside-the-mainstream website has articles dating back to 2002, and I'm only halfway through 2005 for the review category alone.

The Backloggery:
Well, this is a first. I don't think I've ever had a gaming month so slow that I had to remove games to make a dent in my backlog. A bit of cleanup that I thought I'd already done, clearing out Flash games I no longer intend to attempt to beat from Homestar Runner and my Flash Flood columns. I continued to slog through Tomb Raider III and Mega Man Battle Network 3 White, though I did add an old favorite, EarthBound, into the rotation—but because my first attempt at playing the game was years and years ago, Started status has long since come and gone, hence its absence from the list.
Removed:
- Awexome Cross (Brwsr)
- Trogdor (Brwsr)
- Zombie Attack (Brwsr)
- Zombie Survival Special Mission (Brwsr)

Between my blog post project, my GameCola archive project, a bit of revamping and updating of my Series Opinions feature on this site, the games I have going, and the next Mega Man 7 video that's already in the works, I've got plenty to keep me busy for the next month, and hopefully plenty to report on next time around.
