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.

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.

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.

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?)
