Retrospective: May 2013

6/1/2013

0 Comments

 
Ah, May. While my creative contributions and gaming accomplishments might not have been as visible as in previous months, plenty was going on behind the scenes: longer posts requiring more time to pull together, a D&D session for which to prepare, a new computer to set up, another 20 hours or so exploring Mega Man X: Command Mission, powering through Netflix's vintage Dr. Who offerings with my wife, and the return to a regular recording schedule for my Mega Man 7 playthrough, to name a few.

This Blog:

I feel much better after writing these posts. A rationalization of why it's been over a year since my last real YouTube video for my channel, a review of Star Trek Into Darkness that helped me sort out my thoughts on the franchise reboot in general, and cathartic complaining about Nintendo, Microsoft, YouTube, and King's Quest IV.

GameCola:

Most of my GameCola time was devoted to editing articles and writing this one post, which is the inevitable result of researching nice Flash games and realizing you've already come across enough of the not-so-nice ones to populate an entire column.

Columns:
- [NSFW] Flash Flood: Games for Terrible People

YouTube:

Yay! Another installment of the livestreaming Mega Man marathon I did at the end of 2012 with my buddy Dash Jump and my wife Z-Saber. If this doesn't hold you over until my solo playthrough of MM7 comes out, I don't know what will.

The Backloggery:

A bit of housekeeping this month; I discovered a few new games I had never cataloged when transferring everything to my new computer (some indie games from a Humble Bundle that were independent downloads, and not on Steam as I'd thought).
I also started hacking away at more of the unfinished games weighing down my collection—one I didn't own anymore, one I never owned to begin with, one that was a duplicate, one that doesn't have an ending (and I'd never get good enough to beat it anyhow), two fangames I'd tried out of curiosity but didn't feel like bothering with further, and one game I could beat, if I felt like wasting entire hours of my life on endless fetch quests and atrocious controls. See if you can figure out which is which.

As has been my tradition with my previous Flash Flood columns, all the new games I reported on got added as well, whether or not I should admit to having beaten them. The last item of particular note is the completion of Portal 2, made possible by finally finding the time to finish the co-op mode with my friend from overseas. Nothing like catching up with the bandwagon two years later (which, for me, is actually a wild improvement over the norm).
