I'm back from a week and a half in Europe, having rejoined my college choir for one last tour with our conductor before his retirement. You would think something like that would be perfect blog fodder, but chances are good that I'll be spending my time plowing through some longstanding side projects instead over the next few weeks. Ah, but this post is supposed to be looking back at the past! Here's what I was up to in May (aside from traveling, singing, overdosing on goulash, etc.):
This Blog:
As is often the case, my posts here were few, but a good amount of thought and effort went into creating them. Well, except maybe the Retrospective, which is always the easy one.
- Retrospective: April 2014
- Mass Defect 2
- Cake or Death, but Hold the Raspberry Sauce

One of my favorite parts of any creative endeavor is coming up with a title for my work. This was definitely one of the more fun ones to piece together, and I like the way the article turned out, too.

YouTube:
A good month for videos! I transferred over the rest of the previously published Final Fantasy RPGcast to YouTube, plus I released a genuine new installment of my Mega Man 7 playthrough that, at this point, I've been working on almost longer than the game has existed. Or so it feels.

The Backloggery:
I needed a little "comfort gaming," if you will, to calm my nerves before launching into the most travel-intensive portion of my trip abroad, so I fired up a new port of an old favorite in order to get my fix while still chipping away at my video game backlog. I also took a crack at the one game on the list that'll probably make you raise an eyebrow if you're unfamiliar with it as the text-only precursor to the first Leisure Suit Larry game. Well, that might be eyebrow-worthy anyhow. You'll notice I took that same game off the list—when your text parser forces you to input excessively exact phrases because it doesn't recognize such basic words as "LOOK" and "TALK," it's time to move on. My enthusiasm for vintage games only goes so far.

Oh hey, guess it's time to change my calendar over to June already, huh?
