Well, alright. I just noticed that I’d fixed the final 2009 post a few posts ago and am already into early 2010. Nice. The early part of 2010 will be pretty easy going, as I was a bit ill for a good chunk of the first half of the year and didn’t post much. A bit of game therapy and other actual medical assistance later, i was back in action, as you’ll see by the increased post count. The late 2010 to 2011 posts will be the hardest to restore, as most of them will need to be retrieved and reformatted from the older blog as opposed to some of the simpler editing I had to do with some of the older posts. Oh well. Onward and upward!

OK, 2009 is winding down, so that’s a start. I’m in October as I type this and tweaking posts as fast as I can. But I’ll probably take a day or two off from updating just to write something more substantial like a review or feature. I’m also cleaning up a few dopey errors I noticed in some old articles (oops), so if you do go back and read them, you should see no typos (I hope). Anyway, let me get back to that grind and update again when I’m in 2010. Man, time travel is REALLY boring after all, folks…

Yeah, I hate resolutions because they’re more pressure than they’re worth in some cases and too much stress is NOT good for productivity (at least mine, that is). That said, I do indeed plan to complete the long and annoying process of fixing the older articles so they can actually be read past the first paragraphs as well as reworking the galleries (which will take longer in a few cases). It’s all a matter of finding the time to do this while also getting in daily posts. So far, progress has been slow, but I’m setting aside weekends in January to concentrate on getting as many old articles and reviews back to their original states.

Or something like that. Yes, I’m still updating content from the old blog to the new one, but I’m ONLY down to about 1000 posts to go over (er, whee?). I’ll probably buckle down with them over the Xmas holidays and see how many I can get done. I’ve forced things a bit in some new reviews by referencing older posts, which had me then fix those posts to where they’re entirely readable instead of just the first paragraph. In the end, the text isn’t the real problem – it’s the galleries that take the most work to bring over. I also found a bunch of lost stuff and some drafts I’ve been meaning to complete, but those will get some love after the holidays.

OK, OK – time to get cracking on a few things. Reviews incoming over the weekend! And while Skyrim is one of them, Hell NO, I’m nowhere near completing the game. There’s SO much to do in there that it’s a new benchmark for what can (and SHOULD) be done in terms of giving gamers TRUE value for their hard-earned money. Why play another short single player FPS campaign when you can sink yourself into a far deeper game where you’re hooked in for hours in a stretch and barely make a dent in the main quest? Back in a bit…
