Yes, I realize it’s more than 2 years since my last post here. Yes, I also realize that any readers I might have had are long gone. And yes, I admit that I tend to be extremely lazy after my initial “drive” to do something is gone (though it tends to return from time to time).

No matter. I have about a dozen posts I intend to write here in the next couple of weeks, and I will do just that.

Most of them will be about this blog’s original subject, where its title comes from: the “games of my life”, the ones I’ve played in my youth (though not always), and which still mean a lot to me (and not only due to nostalgia, though that certainly plays a part). I may also write about what I’m currently playing, although these days I have very little time to do so. But we’ll see.

Something is moving around here…

If you look at the post below this one, the date will say (as of now) “7 months ago”, which can be a bit worrying. But, indeed, something has just changed around here, and this blog is not dead, so a new post is in order.

What’s new? Well, you have probably noticed the new logo, but there were other changes “below the hood”, to WordPress, K2, and several plugins. I also changed some of the fonts and text sizes; not huge changes, but I find that the text is now a little more pleasant to read. I also changed my author name back to “Dehumanizer”, as it’s the name I use in several gaming forums, and it is more common to use an alias in a gaming site than one’s real name (which isn’t really a secret — just check out my other blogs).

Other than that, the “big news” around here is that I intend to resume writing on this blog again. Really. No, I have not lost interest in games and the gaming scene in general, or in retrogaming. It’s just that I’ve been… distracted by other things. I’ve also been working (mostly…) at home for the past year, but now I am employed again, and, oddly enough, I find that blogging from work “feels” better to me than doing so from home. I hope I can do that and not let it affect my work.

One tiny problem is that I haven’t had money to buy many new games for the past year, and most of them were for the Wii or the DS. My gaming PC is still the same, and it would probably explode if I installed a new game on it…. or at least make it look like a slide show. But, hey, many of my posts in the past were about retrogaming, and people read them and commented on them, so there’s an interest in those out there. And those Spectrum or C64 games are, as everyone knows (or should know), timeless.

So, expect new, regular posts in the future, including reviews of classic games, comments about the gaming scene and gaming news, and personal stories about how particular games came into my life. Who knows, there may even be a real new post as early as tomorrow!

Blog moved!

If you’ve arrived here through the front page, you’ve already seen the redirection page, I believe. Any individual post, however, is transparently redirected, with no warning message. And, of course, if you use the RSS feed, you won’t even see a change.

Anyway, this blog’s new address is www.thegamesofmylife.com. Please, update your bookmarks. If you have a link to The Games of my Life on your own blog your site, I’d appreciate it if you updated it as well.

Introduction

Welcome to “The Games of my Life”.

“Yet another blog about games?”, you may rightly ask. But this isn’t like most others. Instead of being “latest hits-obsessed”, I’ll write about some of my favorite games through all my life. I’m 31, and I’ve been a gamer since I was 6, so, at least, there’s no lack of material.

The order of the games mentioned will seem completely random – today I may write about the latest Playstation 2 or PC hit, tomorrow I may write about an obscure ZX Spectrum or Commodore 64 game from the mid eighties. I may also write about old computers themselves.

And the articles won’t really be “reviews”. More like opinion pieces, sometimes considering the historical context (including how the game came to be, the influence still felt today, if any, etc.), sometimes just being a bit nostalgic. Which I tend to be.

I hope you’ll find this thing interesting. I would.
