Yes, I am still alive. I know I haven't really posted much over the last six months or so, but that's something I should start fixing. There's honestly no shortage of things I *could* post, I just never seem to get around to it.

For those not in the know I've been quite busy with work, been through a few rather large family crises, and had a lot of my "spare" time and attention taken up by being a mentor to two artists whom I'm quite dedicated to helping achieve their ambitions.

I also haven't felt very motivated to make any significant commentary on things going on in the video game industry as of late. The simplest summation I could give right now is that all the real potential is in the indie scene, and being the old as fuck relic I am, I'm actually very happy to see the industry pseudo-reverting to its earlier, indie-dominated form.

At some point this year I may be creating a hybrid LP/commentary/analysis channel on youtube, but as with anything, take the "at some point" part with a grain of salt because it really does mean "at some point". It could be two months from now, or December.


Finally, but not least, I would like to say a big collective hello and thank you to everyone who's added me to their watchlist over the last six months or so; and thank you for the favourites that come along in that time.
