Some thoughts
I’ve been in hibernation, with some behind the scenes ideas on getting this site up to date and adding various features that may make it easier to read for everyone.
A lot of what’s holding me back from writing is a constant criticism that my posts are too long. I agree, I tend to ramble. I have many reasons on how and why I write to such lengthy extent, but that doesn’t matter if no one reads it. The biggest problem is that I have an inability to write something in shorthand. It’s really who I am. I’ve tried changing it for many years, but it leaves me dissatisfied. Since I pay for this site, I don’t think I should be dissatisfied ever here. So I have a compromise. I plan on implementing a simple “expand” feature to this site, and once I do, I have a few reviews to modify and create using this. If successful, it will give a better length for a casual reader, but provide in depth, and more awesome, statements at your discretion.
I have a lot to say and catch up on. There have been a slew of games I’ve finished and some personal news of sorts as well. Nothing overly exciting, but what’s else is new?
To make up for lost time, I’ll probably be updating in short bits for a while. This way I don’t spend a whole day writing one long post, and it’s easily digestible for any readers I might have. If there is a demand for it, I will also give scheduled updates.

RE: Snarf, or Winnie the Pooh.
Winnie the Pooh is more annoying. Here is why .
Snarf is an annoying character with a phobia of, well, everything. He is surrounded by comparatively competent people who get into all kinds of trouble. Snarf then occasionaly acts against his fears and sneaks into wherever to get the message/item to whomever saves the day.
Whinnie the Pooh is an annoying but vaguely sane character surrounded by beings far LESS competent than he is. It’s not hard to be the group hero when your best friends are psychotic (Tigger), depressed (Eore) or…a pig. Also, Whinnies biggest enemies are hedge mazes, lost children and pots of honey.
Snarff at least has been in the same room as Mumra. In fact, I should have just started with that. Snarff has met Mumra. Fuck Whinnie the Pooh.
