So, Spoiler Warning didn’t start as promised. Here is what is going on:<\/p>\n
I pitched the show to The Escapist. The other hosts consented, but this move was fully instigated by me. And I’m not going to dress this up: I did it because I was hoping we could turn the show into income. I’m still looking at my options re: employment, and still considering what I can do. Ideally, I’d like to continue doing all of the cool stuff I’m doing now: This website, the Escapist content, Spoiler Warning, my game development. If I have to take a job where I commute for forty-five minutes each way and sit in an office for nine hours, I won’t be able to do these things. I could very quickly take a job that would pay my bills at the expense of killing all the cool stuff we’ve got going here, and I would very much like to avoid that fate. <\/p>\n
So I’ve got several small plans for trying to turn these hobbies into income, and this is one of them. <\/p>\n
This pitch is a long shot. I get along really well with the staff at the Escapist, but Spoiler Warning would be a really odd fit with the other programming they have on the site. The style, content, and length are all very different from the other video content. Would the show fit into their current ad and video delivery system? Would the Escapist community even dig it? I don’t know. Maybe The Escapist will take us up on the offer. I certainly won’t take offense if they don’t. But I felt this was worth a shot. <\/p>\n
We’ve sent them some content and it’s being reviewed now. I felt like it would be a pretty jerk move to pitch the show to them, then turn around and make the show live here without even giving them a chance to think it over, which is why I’m pushing the show back instead of launching it now. <\/p>\n
So, it’s my fault. Sorry for the delay. Let’s give this pot a bit of time to simmer. I’ll furnish us with some other content to fill our Tuesdays and Thursdays until this plays out. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
