Every year over the past 7 or 8 years or so I spend time near the end of the year replaying the original Final Fantasy. I do it as sort of a reminder to myself of why I love games and a slight reminder of whom I used to be. Each year I play the game a little differently… I’ve played all fighters, all mages, all blackbelts… this year it was time to play as all thieves. I’ve also played in different formats, for instance, last year I chose to play it on the NES mini. So this year I …

It has been a little over a month since I began streaming on Glimesh. I decided not to stream the first couple of days because, for one, the game I was going to play wasn’t in my hands anyway, but I also knew that there were going to be a lot of crashes the first couple of days and I hoped that they would be gone for the most part if I just waited a tad. I do think the servers were better by the time I got streaming, but it wasn’t really until a full week later that they really …

I had already been contemplating the idea of returning to streaming pretty much since last November. But I had been doing a fair job of talking myself out for the most part. Obviously, I have gotten very close. But one of the things that had really been stopping me is that I just don’t like the streaming services that are available.

Today I realized that I don’t really play a lot of different games anymore. The last few weeks I’ve been playing Stellaris… the same game that I was making youtube videos of when I was doing youtube still like 3 or 4 years ago.

About a year ago I quit streaming for the second time. I quit making youtube videos almost 2 years ago now, which really corresponded to the first time I quit streaming. But over the last several months I’ve been considering going back into streaming, coupled with video creation as well. For the most part, I’ve been able to stave off the itch, but the itch has been continuing and I think sooner than later, I’m going to get back into it, even though it probably isn’t a great idea. There are a couple of primary reasons for me constantly quitting these …
