Merry Christmas everyone! And if you don't celebrate Christmas, happy holidays! I've had a great year and a good time working on this blog and I really appreciate all of you, even the silent readers. I've accomplished more than I thought I would when I started writing. Heck, I'm happy I finished Planescape: Torment for the first time since high school since I've had so many false starts between then and now.
I have really come to appreciate games in a different way than I used to and enjoy weighing their pros, cons, and meaning to me in a constructive manner. I never thought I would be writing about The Nameless One representing capitulation with your past or Psychonauts being a metaphor for mental illnesses, but there it is. I have also gotten used to using a more editorial voice to add a personal touch to the blog instead of the standard "I did this then that" play through. It has helped me personally and it feels therapeutic to be as open with all of you as I can.
I am afraid I won't be able to leave a message tomorrow (Christmas ticks over in 4 hours here), so I wanted to be sure to get it up here.
Thank you so much for reading, for your contributions, and for your interest. I really appreciate it and look forward to even more fun in the new year!
Sincerely,
Backlog Killer
