I went into some pretty heavy stuff the past three days, so I’m in need of a little break from all that mess. I’m still in love with Life Is Strange, but the review was emotionally exhausting for me because it brought back the feelings I dealt with while playing it two years ago.
Fitting that I have a vacation coming up - by “coming up” I mean tomorrow. I’m flying to Florida to spend Christmas and New Year’s with my mom and stepdad, which is a welcome change from the doom and gloom, gray-skied, cold, wet, depressing DC area. And I still fit into my summer clothes, so that makes me feel better (I like to indulge, doesn’t everyone?)
But the point of this post is to mention that I’m in a transitional period. I want to do more than game reviews this month, so I’m thinking of ways to expand my sack of ideas. Part of me really wants to write more about art (the kind that actually inspires me, no fancy marble sculptures or abstract art), even though it would negate the reason I named this month’s string of posts “Fetch Quest.” I don’t like to stray from plans I’ve already made - I find consistency valuable.
Sometimes I feel like writing about anime, strictly in a critical sense. Some people consider it childish or weird, so I’m hesitant. But there are some shows/movies that I feel are really worthy of a second chance with the people who snub their noses at them. I’m not big on reviewing movies, but I think I could give it a shot and find it enjoyable. The thing about my love of anime, whether movie or show, is that I’m pretty picky. I used to not be, but now that I’ve gotten older and seen a lot, I realize how many shows just aren’t worth my time - but the shows that are, are.
I have a lot of opinions that no one ever asked for, but via the internet I’m able to expound as much as my little goblin heart desires. I’m going to try to be a little more spontaneous, so be on the lookout for something different. It could happen tomorrow, or a week from now. Regardless, it will happen. I hope you’re looking forward to it.
