Of course, that&#8217;s true of pretty much all video content. In the time it takes to produce a ten-minute video, I could probably hammer out 5,000 words.  (One episode of Shamus Plays is ~2,000 words, and my weekly column probably averages just over 1,000.) I&#8217;d rather produce video if I could. Video is <em>way<\/em> more viral and my video work always has a longer reach than my written stuff.  But the time just isn&#8217;t there. (Josh handles all the editing for Spoiler Warning, which is what makes that series possible.)<\/p>\n<p>This is actually a really interesting time for me.  In the past, I&#8217;d pick up a project and fiddle with it until I was bored with it or people lost interest. But at some point this site became popular enough that projects would no longer fizzle out, and instead they would grow in scope and in audience.  So instead of dropping the project I&#8217;d add it to my list of weekly duties. Then when I&#8217;d get another itch I&#8217;d <em>add<\/em> yet another new project.  We now have this blog, Stolen Pixels, Experienced Points, Shamus Plays, and Spoiler Warning.  I&#8217;m getting restless because I&#8217;m at capacity and I can&#8217;t add anything new without dropping an existing project. And I can&#8217;t bear to let any of them go.<\/p>\n<p>Our only hope now is for me to lose my day job.  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>From Fenix: Are you planning on doing anymore Reset Button episodes?
