Unemployment Quest - Pass the Preachy
I know this is a bit of a weird game for me to be reviewing, especially right after I made a post detailing me searching for work and finding it tough. That said that probably makes good FOR actually reviewing this game, a kickstarter funded RPG-Maker title, made specifically to tackle the issue of people who are having trouble just finding work, dealing with the stress, worry and nervousness of jobsearching in general.

Why I Began this Blog and... Why its stalled
Quick note: This blogpost is me being a teeny bit emotional and me talking about some things that have hit me hard.
Originally I began this blog for two main reasons. The first one was to try and persuade me to begin clearing and finishing games, rather than speeding between the giant backlog of titles at random with no clear intention to finish ever.
The other much bigger reason however was to help cope. I began this blog when I was at my lowest, trying to break back. At that time I had been out of work for a long time, sending letters, CVs and anything else I could send to try and gain some form of meaningful employment. After those years I had hit multiple rock bottoms (no not the wrestling move, sheesh) and visited several forms of... help to try and avoid certain... things.
This blog came into form to help push me forward, to keep a level of motivation to do something. Then a couple of months back, I finally broke through. I got a job. That's where the stall and lack of posts has come from. With that piece of the puzzle in, I haven't had as much time for here, nor have I had much in the way of motivation. I do still want to come back, to write and entertain slightly, inform too. How I am going to do it? Not sure. When? Not sure.
Quick Note 2: I actually still have saved drafts of two games hanging around... Whooops. Those should have been posted a bit back.
