Happy ‘08 and welcome back. Here’s hoping 2008 will be a good year for each of you out there, and that each of you have something to be thankful for in ‘07. For me, that is of course SpaceKitty. Living in the Midwest, the weather gets at it’s worst in Jan / Feb, so the start of each new year is always a rough one. I’ll be thankful if I don’t freeze to death between now and March / April, but I remain hopeful that a new job may get me in from the cold. This year had a wonderful beginning seeing as I got to spend it with SpaceKitty and, God willing, it will be the year that I get out of the Midwest.
I don’t really do the whole ‘resolutions’ thing, but that’s not to say there’s not improvements that I wish to make in this year. My credo for ‘08 is simple: “Have patience. Have faith. Be positive.” I’m not going to resolve to update my website every week or any silly thing like that. If anything, I’m aware that I ought to give my website a backseat more often to the more pressing concerns in life. My site tends to be a place I can go to relax and escape, and while we all need such a place, it’s always best in moderation.
Gaming wise I can’t say I’m looking forward to a heck of a lot this year, short of Brawl and maybe Fallout 3. Frankly ‘07 had so many AAA hits around the holiday that I’ll be busy catching up for quite some time to come. As I’ve been doing for some time now, I plan on playing and finishing each game / book / etc one at a time and not worrying about any others until I’m through. It’s done wonders for the sense of being overwhelmed by choices and backlog, not to mention the satisfaction of seeing the ending credits and shelving the title.
