The blog isn't dead, just my brain is.

I know that this blog has essentially turned from the occassional game review into an advertisement for our weekly podcast, but that wasn't intentional. I've just been struggling to come up with compelling content, and quite honestly with work and my general laziness, I haven't felt like it.

In my leisure time I play games, but I don't really play anything I think anyone would be interested in reading about, nor am I playing anything recent enough to really capture people's attention. I'm not sure what I should be doing on any front in order to provide something entertaining for people.

I'm slowly coming to terms with the realization that I'm just not an interesting or entertaining person, and I don't have the ability to entertain. I don't have that talent, or skill to put myself out there and amuse others. I don't have any sense of showmanship, and that's what's required in order to make what I want to do shine.

I have thoughts and ideas on subjects, but the only thing I've ever done with even a whiff of success was write fanfiction horror stories for indie games. I'm beginning to realize more and more that I'm simply not cut out for "this", and that I just don't have the drive to pull it off. It's something I enjoy doing and something I'd like to do, but taking it more professionally simply doesn't seem like it will happen.
