It seems like everything has fallen into place for the upcoming move to San Diego. Great job, good place to live, got everything packed… but, this might mean some changes to TwiddleGeek. Aside from just having less time to game, I’m no longer going to be gaming using a capture card through my PC. That simply means no more screencaps. Which isn’t to say the site is going to go under in a few weeks, there may just be a few changes.
I can see a few methods of still getting screens. First would be hooking the console up to a capture card temporarily and taking a few, as SpaceKitty did in her Mario Galaxy post. Frankly, that’s too much hassle. Secondly is simply grabbing some stock company-published screens for each game. There’s certainly no shortage. That could work, though it loses a bit of the personal touch and the fun of making a gallery of neat screens. The other option is to simply go with all text posts. This would perhaps enable more posts to be made, but I tend to think graphics add a lot of pop.
I’ll figure something out, I just haven’t decided quite yet. If anything there’ll still be plenty of reviews being published. I simply enjoy blogging about a game in a more freeform style while playing it and after finishing it than a review typically allows for. Also, most of my avatars and mobile themes come from screencaps… obviously that’ll become more difficult, but I’m sure I’ll find a way.
