A Paladin Without A Crusade Thread...
« on: September 15, 2012, 03:40:31 am »
Hi everyone,

Today, I finally felt comfortable enough to start sharing my review posts here on Arcen's forum (as well as other places). Yeah, I shared my AVWW and Tidalis review here in my signature. Plus, x4000 has been more than kind to link my reviews where appropriate and I thank him for that. But other than that, I've never been very vocal about what I do outside of gaming. But I figured now was as good as time as any to share.

I run my own blog, A Paladin Without A Crusade. Its generally, but not strictly, a technology & gaming blog where I like to rant about things like DRM and other shady practices but I also like to share what other people create as well as talk about things on my mind. I feel like now I'm starting to get into stride there. http://kingisaaclinksr.wordpress.com

I also started my own Let's Play series and just finished it recently on the Breath of Death VII: The Beginning game. With that series, I try my hand at voice acting as well as doing a regular YouTube series. That was a learning experience all of its own. Its rough at the beginning but I feel it gets much better as it goes along. http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL292B00B1FAF2E6D8  I also reviewed the game here: http://kingisaaclinksr.wordpress.com/2012/09/15/my-review-breath-of-death-vii-the-beginning/

Thanks for reading!

I muse about Greenlight's 21 New Games that just got Greenlighted and about some of the experiences I've had with Greenlight. I also talk about what could be added to make it better. Which yeah, there is certainly a lot that could be added.

Enjoy!

I'm apparently insane and like to write really long posts these days. Latest Musings about the 3rd batch of Greenlight games. Still consider this to be an experimental series atm.

I know it probably doesn't help, but I read every post you make in search of things to complain about ;)

Hahaha, well considering I use the blog partly to complain about things, that works just fine for me :P.

The snow in that post is playing tricks with my head!

It doesn't help that I didn't notice it at first and only caught it out of the corner of my eyes. Then had to stare a moment before realizing what it was.

My biggest annoyance with the snow is that when the snow goes off the side of the screen, the sideways scrollbar will show up for an instant and then disappear. This is highly distracting.

I can disable it if its that big of a distraction, its just something wordpress throws in to make the blog a little festive. It doesn't bother me much but if its bothering you, I can make it go away before the top 10 list for tomorrow.

Well aside from the blinking scrollbar, it's hardly annoying :P

It's not a real annoyance, it did mess with me at first though.
