A Quick Update

I offer the same excuse so often I should just copy-and-paste it, but here it is again: I had to go away on another business trip, I thought I'd have time to play and post in the evenings, but it's turned out that I'm busier than I thought. I apologize for this, especially since Google Analytics tells me I got a huge influx of new readers a few days ago.

The good news: when I return home on December 19, I will be facing three weeks of vacation--going nowhere, doing nothing in particular except pounding out the CRPGs. I am quite committed to reach Game 50 by the time my blog turns one year old in February.

I might still squeak in a post before I return, but don't count on it. Expect copious posts for the holidays instead.

Thanks for your continued readership.

    Hey

    I've been reading for a few months now. Not like waiting for a couple weeks is a big deal. You're doing an awesome job. Keep it up, this is definitely one of the cooler blogs (... for a given definition of cool) on the web.

    I can't wait, if you are addict you have to suppose that we are addicted as well. ;)

    Anyway this blog is a very good source of informations, really.

    I'm following you since October and you are perfectly fitting with my attempts to study the CRPG history and mechanics.

    Don't stress yourself now xD
    I don't have the dedication to figure out these old games,
    but you are definitely getting me interested there!
    (Still,don't forget to spend a day off during your long vacation for your wife : D )

    Have a great vacation! (As Troy from Community says: "Two straight weeks of video games...that's what Christmas is for!") I stumbled onto your blog while doing a Let's Play of the Bard's Tale 3, and I've had a great time reading through all the posts.

    Take your time! You have been doing such an awesome job over the past year, you have NOTHING to apologise for. Just continue doing the awesome job you have been and we'll be with you.

    I started a video play through of TES1:Arena on youtube, should anyone care, btw. Only did through the first piece of the Staff of Chaos. Search for 47 year old guy etc etc and you'll see it. If you care :)

    Thanks for your patience, everyone. Looks like I picked up like 5 followers during my absence. I should go on vacation more often.

I welcome all comments about the material in this blog, and I generally do not censor them. However, please follow these rules:

1. DO NOT COMMENT ANONYMOUSLY. If you do not want to log in or cannot log in with a Google Account, choose the "Name/URL" option and type a name (you can leave the URL blank). If that doesn't work, use the "Anonymous" option but put your name of choice at the top of the entry.

2. Do not link to any commercial entities, including Kickstarter campaigns, unless they're directly relevant to the material in the associated blog posting. (For instance, that GOG is selling the particular game I'm playing is relevant; that Steam is having a sale this week on other games is not.) This also includes user names that link to advertising.

3. Please avoid profanity and vulgar language. I don't want my blog flagged by too many filters. I will delete comments containing profanity on a case-by-case basis.

4. I appreciate if you use ROT13 for explicit spoilers for the current game and upcoming games. Please at least mention "ROT13" in the comment so we don't get a lot of replies saying "what is that gibberish?"

5. Comments on my blog are not a place for slurs against any race, sex, sexual orientation, nationality, religion, or mental or physical disability. I will delete these on a case-by-case basis depending on my interpretation of what constitutes a "slur."

Blogger has a way of "eating" comments, so I highly recommend that you copy your words to the clipboard before submitting, just in case.

I read all comments, no matter how old the entry. So do many of my subscribers. Reader comments on "old" games continue to supplement our understanding of them. As such, all comment threads on this blog are live and active unless I specifically turn them off. There is no such thing as "necro-posting" on this blog, and thus no need to use that term.

I will delete any comments that simply point out typos. If you want to use the commenting system to alert me to them, great, I appreciate it, but there's no reason to leave such comments preserved for posterity.

I'm sorry for any difficulty commenting. I turn moderation on and off and "word verification" on and off frequently depending on the volume of spam I'm receiving. I only use either when spam gets out of control, so I appreciate your patience with both moderation tools.
