Time For A Break...

Oh, hello there, I'm Simon, custodian of this humble blog. As regular visitors may have noticed by now, new posts have been somewhat thin on the ground of late. This has mainly been caused by a recent period of illness from which I am now mostly recovered. Since then, however, I have found myself with a startling lack of interest or enthusiasm in doing... well, pretty much anything really, and that includes playing spiffy retro games and then writing about them here. I therefore think the time is right to take my first sabbatical since starting this blog over three years ago. I feel confident my passion and enthusiasm for this subject, as well as my other fields of endeavour, will soon return. Until then, enjoy the summer, and I'll no doubt be boring you with all manner of new posts in a few weeks or months. And don't defect to any other blogs or I shall be most upset ;)

  1. You just take care of yourself - glad to hear you're feeling better, but I've had those lulls myself in the past. Rest up and I hope you enjoy what you're doing in the meantime.

  4. Aw, man! I understand, though. Sometimes you just need to recharge, focus on something else for a while. I say enjoy your time away and come back when you're excited about it again. And don't worry, we'll be here to welcome you--whenever that may be!

  6. Thanks a lot, everyone! :) I'm not gone for good, don't worry - I've still got far too many games and films and other stuff to babble on about yet. Perhaps I have an 'illness hangover' or something, I just know that I really don't feel like writing at the moment, even when I have plenty of spare time. Things will be back to normal soon though, maybe sooner than you think :)

  9. This happened to me Simon and I just put everything to one side and it eventually returned in time. Glad you are feeling better.

  10. Many thanks Mr. Unknown, poppichicken, and Martin :) I'm still thinking about games and features I want to write about so I'll be back at some point but I'm not really in the mood yet. I'll relax and enjoy the nice weather we're having here in the UK at the moment and try again soon. Don't forget about the Parsley! :P
