It's 2010.
In the fall of 1999 I started this game. Fall of last year I reached a major burnout point and shut the game off.
I went back to work in the factory where I spent a few summers and, two nights in, was injured. It's the first time I ever had to quit a job. That was December, and I'm still dealing with the after effects.
So after a lot of rest, some medication, and a general reassessment of how I handle my life I've decided to return to the game.
As usual, I don't expect to win, but as long as you keep playing you'll find you get better and, one day, you too can save the princess. Or the blue eyed boy. Whichever you prefer.
So this is the reason for my absence, and why my MySpace and this particular blog site needs a facelift, both visually and in output. I even had to slow down at Mania, but I stay in touch with my fellow Maniacs. My Facebook site stays active, though I won't let the general public in for that.
So promotions will begin again for "Summertime Blues," "Sweet Dreams: A Sandman's Story," and others as they are completed.
The pace here will be a slower one than in the past. But, in the meantime, here's a few things I've recently come across you could potentially enjoy:
Maburaho - The Magic Collection (anime)
Newcastle (indie flick)
You've Got Geek On You (podcast featuring friend and fellow Maniac Bob "The Movie Lord" Trate)
And, since they're a lot of fun, I'll supply links to my "Twilight" parody blog entries from Mania. I'll even include Maelstrom's, since he's hilarious as well.
A final note -- as Mania now features a profanity filter, whenever any entry is naughty by nature it will appear here, and a link to said entry will be provided at Mania. Said filter was instituted not to keep us from using bad words, it was designed to keep the porn spammers out.
The Maniacs have found creative ways around this by swearing in new and interesting ways.
