![]() ![]() 1999 was an especially good year, since it saw the release of two of my all time favorite games: Freespace 2 and Homeworld. I’ll be talking about Freespace 2 in the next article, but right now I want to talk about Homeworld. The late 90’s were truly the golden age of science fiction gaming, most of the titles released in that period have yet to be equaled even today. Ones that have stuck in my mind so clearly, that I don’t need to replay them to write a review of them. So until my work starts hiring more people and I’m not covering every shift, I think I’ll try writing about old games. I love writing this blog though, and I love writing about games. Plus I said in my review that I wished I could be a sailor in the game, and now the sequel is going to let us sail a ship, so I’m sold.īut again, with only an hour or two of free time every day, who knows how long that will take to finish. Even though I hated the ending of the first one, I loved the potential I saw for the setting they created. The new Pillars of Eternity comes out next month, and I’m incredibly excited to play that. The irony is that even though I can now afford to buy one, I still don’t know when I’d find the time to play it. God of War, the remake of a favorite game of mine, has come out but I still don’t own a Playstation 4. I feel like I’ve done more writing these past few weeks than I have in years. If I could have been writing like this years ago, I could have finished this book far sooner.Īll that being said, my time to play video games and watch all the shows and movies I need to has been considerably cut down. The constant challenges of my work, learning to dance, and the remarkable storytelling I take part in every Friday at D&D have sharpened my focus on writing. ![]() Now with so much going on my in my life, I feel like there’s a momentum to everything I do. When I was totally unemployed with tons of free time I barely wrote anything aside from the occasional post here. Strangely enough, despite being so busy, I’ve never been writing more consistently than I have now. I’m also going to dance classes three days a week after work, and on Friday nights I play Dungeons and Dragons with some great friends of mine (which I need to write a post about, because it’s amazing.) And I’m in the home stretch of finishing the second-draft of my first book (well, first book written to completion anyway). For the past few months I’ve been working 6 days a week at my job, which has been rewarding but exhausting. Everything is changing and I suppose that’s life: change. ![]()
