ok you seriously need to review something a little more...... less well known. Why not WindJammers or something like that?
I'll be honest - I was busy working all week, and didn't get the opportunity to review a more "unique" games. When it came down to producing this week's article, I had to go with a game I knew very well to get it out on time. Truth be told, it takes me several hours of work to produce each article, as I do try to research the games and provide a unique viewpoint on each.
If Windjammers is a request, I'll definitely do my best to get to that soon!
Wait, when did you become a blogger, Rick? Aren't you still cutting bartops?
I am! In fact, I've completed two for sale - my first two-player Titan, and a one player Contender - just this last week. I've actually been really busy working on growing the company, and am happy to report that it's going really, really well. (Certainly not, "I can quit looking for a job" well, but definitely, "I'm helping to keep my house" well.)
As for the blogging, yes, I realize that without more topical updates regarding the company, it does seem to be that I'm only a writer. What I am trying to do is to promote the company, and keep people coming back to the website for a reason. I've built more than my fair share of websites in the past for others, and it's disappointing when I go back to review them - sometimes over a year later - and find out that they haven't even made a single update, or topical post.
In fact, I'm planning even more of a media presence very soon, including some other... ...more 'unique' choices. They may fizzle - in fact, I think it'll take a bit of time before they catch on at all - but they're something I've been working hard on, and something that I hope will help energize the arcade industry in the long run.
