It’s become apparent to me I don’t have a whole lot of content from streaming to put up on the blog of late. Mostly, that’s because I haven’t been streaming – which kind of sucks, but real life’s won out on some stuff lately. Streaming’s going to be hit and miss for a bit longer – I’m tentatively starting a new project under the Zeroth Edition name and I have a bunch of other stuff I want to do and I don’t know if I have time to devote to consistently stream for the time being.

That doesn’t mean I don’t want to put stuff up here though.

So, I’m looking into other content – reviews of things in general (movies, books, games), pieces of my own writing, discussions of the projects I’m doing for Zeroth Edition, and other personal projecty stuff.

I’m also discovering I’m not very good at writing blogs and such as I do this. Hell, I’m out of practice with writing in general and just need to sit down and hash some stuff out. So I’ll probably be pushing out content more regularly, even if it is just some practice writing samples. I’m going to try to categorize everything better so you can skip the things you don’t want to read and quickly get to that which you do.

Anyways – thanks for reading and expect some proper content soonish.

Well, for those of you who’ve been following along, I haven’t been streaming a whole lot lately. In fact, aside from the first session of A Legacy of Shadow (which suffered from some technical issues relating to sound), I haven’t streamed at all, really – unless you count some experimental The Old Republic streams.

I know – I suck for that. I need to correct that. I have plans to.

So, here’s the low down. I have a couple PC games I want to get playing – Dragon Age: Origins, Mass Effect, and Pillars of Eternity. I’m particularly excited for Pillars of Eternity and want to try to get to it this weekend if possible. If things work out, I’ll be trying to play a bit of it on Sunday. We’ll see how that goes.

I also want to get back into playing some PS2 era games. I recently expanded my collection a little bit, adding in Final Fantasy X, Wilds Arms 3, Wild Arms 4, and Persona 3 FES. I also want to eventually get back to Persona 4 and the Suikoden series.

My main worry going forward is finding content which isn’t just the same static game every time. This has kind of been my concern with playing the RPGs of my younger days – the games are essentially the same thing everytime. I have a few ideas of how to go about it, but I want to poke around a bit more before I talk about it.

This is more of a ramble, but I thought I’d put something out there. I’ll talk more about things the next time I get a chance to stream.

The crew of The Drunken Mynock comes out of hyperspace at the wreck of a Venator-class Star Destroyer, keen for the salvage of a shield generator, only to discover some unexpected guests waiting for them. The crew comes up with some unexpected tactics to keep them flying another day…

We ran our first session of A Legacy of Shadow last night and, aside from a few technical hiccoughs (including some sound issues you’ll be able to hear on this video – don’t worry, I’ve fixed them for the future), things went pretty well.

Video is from the livestream of the first session of A Legacy of Shadow on March 22, 2015. A Legacy of Shadow, run using the Star Wars Saga Edition rules from Wizards of the Coast, runs every second Sunday live on my stream channel.

Well, if you’re not aware – I’m starting to use this blog thing again! I’ve made some changes on the actual web site and I’m now using WordPress to power the blog as opposed to Tumblr. The Tumblr address, located here contains the exact same content as the WordPress page – all my entries will be done on the WordPress side and I’m using a plug-in to crosspost to Tumblr. I’ve found this useful simply because, in the past, I’ve had viewers find me through the Tumblr tag clouds and want to continue that possibility – and this Crosspostr allows me to do that while having my main blog page be WordPress shiny.

Anyways – this most likely means I’m going to start pushing out content here on a semi-regular basis. One suggestion put forth was posting a review as I finish up games (or after I’ve played them for a bit) and I’m kind of liking this idea – so, starting with Paper Mario, you’ll probably start to see something resembling a review available here within 24-hours or so of completing the game proper.

I’m also looking to start actively using YouTube – I’ll continue to port over any highlights I make, but I want to try to port over my playthroughs to some degree. I’m open to suggestions on this particular matter.

Additionally, I’m going to be starting up a Star Wars Saga Edition on some Sundays of a month via the Roll20 platform. I think I’m basically full on players but I’ll be attempting to stream the game, where possible. Hopefully this should start at some point in March.
