Well folks, this has been a long time coming. I have been here for 20 years. Needless to say, it has been quite the experience that I will always cherish. Even with all the criticism I get for everything I’ve done, I feel that I accomplished a lot while here.
As I sit here writing this, I ponder about my life, thinking about what I’ve done, and it really pains me to say that after twenty years, I decided…it’s time to move on. Yes, that’s right. I’ve decided that it’s time for a change. I’m moving on with my life…
…and to a new home!
You all thought I meant I was moving away from GiN, did you? Not likely!
I will continue to write for Gameindustry.com, but there might be a week or two that I will not post my normal columns. I guess I can say that for the first time since who knows when, I am taking a short hiatus from commentaries. Reviews will still come from me, as I have my take on the recent War of the Chosen expansion for XCOM 2 on the way, as well as other games that I’m working on, and of course, my anticipation for the upcoming Xbox One X will be covered in full detail.
In fact, I went back to play some games that are preparing me for the move, and how it might not be as tough as they are. Case in point, I am going back through Ark: Survival Evolved now that it is out of the preview program and now at full release, and like the game says, surviving alone is a challenge. I hope to get more into it as time comes, but I might just do it in bits and pieces until I play the X enhanced version.
Ironically, going in by bits and pieces is how I’m handling this move. By packing a little here, and a little there, it is helping me count down the days until the eventual move, and I’m looking forward to this new experience as it gets closer.
Most of all, I hope that by moving to this new location, I can finally get to streaming games live on both Twitch and on the GiN YouTube page. I really want to work on new videos and hopefully the new location will be the spark I need to do so. Even if it means I’ll have to upgrade my Hauppage PVR60 to a new 4K capable capture device (if one even exists, that is,) I’ll be ready to tackle a whole new challenge.
And that’s what this move is going to be, a new challenge for me. Will it work out in the end? I guess we’ll find out when I get back. But while I count down the days until the move, I’ll just keep packing, looking over my new location, and of course, playing new games as they come across.
Moving on…
My body is ready.
