Attempts at a vidya blog

So, as I said in the last post, at first this was supposed to be a vidya blog. I happen to be a retrogamer (mostly Gameboy, SNES and PSX), and I tend to enjoy indie games more than large projects of the gaming industry (Ubisoft games being notable exceptions). I had three candidates for the first review... no, wait, four. At first, I started with The Wonderful End of the World, only to realize that writing a good article about it would be harder than I expected. At that point, I decided to try a less unique game, say, a platformer. So I started to play Eternal Daughter, a freeware platformer I played ages ago and remembered as quite hard, but also pretty good. According to the progress meter of the game, I completed about 40% before getting too frustrated by it to continue. So I moved on to another one... A day and two games later, I decided that there's no point in forcing myself, and instead I should just blog what comes naturally, which is what I'll try to do, unless certain real-life things prevent it.

A change of plans

At first, this was supposed to be a thematic blog, dealing with video games and nothing else. Soon after starting it, I realized that I have other things to blog about as well, for example music, the occasional train of thought/rant, etc. Unfortunately, I couldn't find another good and available URL, so for the time being, it remains "zerovidya".
