Retrospective: June 2013

7/4/2013

0 Comments

 
Looking back at my online endeavors, I see that June was a time of creative renewal. With a fresh perspective on my writing and a rekindled enthusiasm for recording, I'm very satisfied with what I was able to produce—and there was plenty more going on behind the scenes, as usual.

This Blog:

One incidental verbal kick in the pants was all it took to shake me out of the bitter, complaint-filled rut I had fallen into. This is what happens when I smile, let my brain wander, and trade in emotion-fueled criticism for objective critique.

- Every Doctor Who
- Impermanence

GameCola:

My attention was completely elsewhere this month. This barely counts as participation, considering the podcast was recorded in May, the first Q&AmeCola response was also written in May, and the second one was a hasty at-the-deadline addition after initially having nothing to contribute.

Columns:
- Q&AmeCola: Most Exciting Thing at E3 2013
- Q&AmeCola: Worst Playthrough

Podcasts:
- GC Podcast #62: Game Companies Hate the Players

YouTube:

It felt good to be back on a regular recording schedule. Anyone keeping up with my Facebook page saw me change my cover photo at least once a week to reflect the stage I was currently practicing for my long-awaited playthrough of Mega Man 7. At the same time, I finally got around to assembling videos of the Crystalis-themed Dungeons & Dragons podcast I DMmed (DM'd?) for GameCola toward the end of last year. I also had the pleasure of helping my buddy Dash Jump edit the footage of our Mega Man 8 livestream down to a length YouTube would tolerate, breaking the game into the first of two parts.

The Backloggery:

Don't...don't judge me. I needn't remind you that I am a student of old video games, playing them for the exposure as often as for my own amusement. GOG.com had another one of their dirt-cheap sales on game bundles; I figured I'd give Leisure Suit Larry a chance. Decidedly more mature (or possibly immature) than my usual fare, but nonetheless a classic adventure game series I'd never tried. Unbeknownst to me, they slipped another "adult" game into the bundle, which I have dutifully added to my collection in the off chance my curiosity gets the better of me. The things I do to call myself a Sierra fan.

Also on the list are a game from the Humble Something-or-Other Bundle I was gifted with a few Christmases ago, an RPG that's consumed more hours than I've allowed any RPG to consume since the SNES era, and a long-neglected omission from the short list of other people's games I beat but never owned. (Seriously, how did I miss that?)

New:
- Mega Man X4  (PS)
- Leisure Suit Larry in the Land of the Lounge Lizards (EGA)  (PC)
- Leisure Suit Larry 1: In the Land of the Lounge Lizards (VGA)  (PC)
- Leisure Suit Larry 2: Looking for Love (in Several Wrong Places)  (PC)
- Leisure Suit Larry 3: Passionate Patti in Pursuit of the Pulsating Pectorals  (PC)
- Leisure Suit Larry 5: Passionate Patti Does a Little Undercover Work  (PC)
- Leisure Suit Larry 6: Shape Up or Slip Out! (VGA)  (PC)
- Leisure Suit Larry 6: Shape Up or Slip Out! (SVGA)  (PC)
- Softporn Adventure  (PC)

Started:
- Jolly Rover  (Steam)

Beat:
- Jolly Rover  (Steam)
- Mega Man X: Command Mission  (GCN)
- Mega Man X4  (PS)

Resolutions for July: Release Part 1 of Mega Man 7, play Command Mission to 100% completion, ignore GOG.com and its dirt-cheap game bundle sales.
