As this site has moved away from its origins (tabletop games) and become a site more about video games, the categories have gotten skewed. It’s gotten to the point where cramming all of my videogame-related posts into a single category no longer makes any sense. To combat this I was offloading some of them into rants, even if the thing I was discussing wasn’t really rage-worthy, but instead just an interesting annoyance. This made the site seem a little more angry than it should. (Not that I have any shortage of stuff to get incensed over these days.)<\/p>\n
The “Random Thoughts” category has become a big hole into which all sorts of things get thrown. This weekend I’m shuffling posts around and re-categorizing them. I now have a category just for my commentary (my so-called “reviews”) on single games, and another for talking about videogames in general. I’m going through the “Random Thoughts” archives and seeing if I can file those posts someplace useful. I mention all this not because I think you care about the minutiae of running this site, but because I know some people read through those series in chronological order, and this is going to make a hash of that if you’re trying to do so while the whole thing is in flux. Sorry.<\/p>\n
Also, I’m going to shelve my survival horror series for a bit. October is a better month for that. So this weekend I jumped into Tabula Rasa. We’ll see where this goes. Will it enslave me like Wow, or underwhelm me like Hellgate? Will my inevitable criticism draw an army of irate Tabula Rasa fans to let me know that I “just don’t get it”? <\/p>\n
I guess we’ll find out.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
