Hello...is this thing on?  I still recognize a few names, and I still see some of you on the Facebook.  Yep, I got nothing, just checking in for the first time in years!!  Metal on \m/

Played on PC:

So I've been playing some of the free games and finishing them.  Last one was Ryse of Rome.  It was actually a decent game.  Not too difficult.  Multiplayer seems like it would be a good time but if it was free, pretty sure it's dead now.  

Anyways.....don't look into the sun today!

It's really sad to see the site so dead.  After it's rise it almost seemed as if nothing was going to slow it down.  I guess after all these years and people having real life kick in, gaming has taken a back seat.  Even the sites Facebook page is pretty non-existent.  

Oh well.........guess I'll just keep checking back and see if any old souls happen to wander in and show up.  

I am still on XBL under Mike James.

Since the site is and has been blocked by my job, I haven't been here in a few years.  :(

Is 2o2p a shell of itself?

I hope not.

The last week on You-Tube was dramatic as the company failed to act quickly and decisively hot on the news that traditional media outlet 'The Guardian' had pulled their advertizing from the You Tube platform. While this may have come as a surprise to some, I could frankly see it coming a year ago, when I posted a few blogs about the lack of self-awareness under youtubers. One can't keep abusing the goose with the golden eggs and expecting it to keep on giving to eternity. A youtuber has to take responsibility.

Has one read my blogs over the years, then my personal crisis with the consistency of what games offer should be a familiar theme. I've over the breadth of it sought the answer within myself. I'm not getting younger and that comes, amongst living at a slower pace to name one aspect, with shifting interests where other things not only beg for attention but take importance over something that I used to do or love. A long line of nice women who answered my charm can tell you stories, which is a more respectful way of saying that familiarity breeds contempt.

Can one sit there with dry eyes and still proclaim to be a gamer with love for the hobby? Can one maintain such without having a poisonously bad aftertaste in one's mouth after the recent events unfolding in the wake of the EA-access Mass Effect: Andromeda promotion? If we maintain that we're gamers still, then aren't we responsible for the events too given that reason and measured opinion is totally absent from what's going on in the community today?
