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.

Steam Greenlight - 7th January Thoughts

Steam Greenlit has been going for a while now and doling out these sort of updates on a regular basis. For those who don't know what Steam greenlight is, let me go through it super fast. Basically new/indie/whoever steam doesn't like that day developers have to go through this process now, posting a game up and letting the 'Steam Community' vote on if they want to see it go on sale or not.

Okay its a little bit more complicated but that's the jist of it. Now every so often steam takes the highest voted games/apps and starts the whole deal process with them, so the game/app can go on sale on Steam. Yesterday (the 7th) was the turn of 50 more games/apps to be taken through this process and be given the greenlight. Heres my thoughts on some of em! (Warning: Some harsh words ahead)
