Twitterpated

You've heard people say it a million times -- you know, the whole, "well, I'm busy with my real adult life now, so I don't have time for full-length, immersive games; I need things that are deep in brief sessions, I want to be able to jump in and jump out via social media," yak yak yak.

I don't feel that way about video games -- if I can't get hooked into a "worth hours and hours of my time" experience, I don't really bother, with a few exceptions. I do, however, feel that way about blogging. SVGL's never been my job (actually, it kinda worries me when people I meet don't know that) -- rather, it's been primarily a way to communicate with you guys (yes, you!) , or a way to jot down less formal thoughts that weren't fitting into my "work"per se.

But now I've got Twitter and Formspring, and I'm having conversations with you guys all day every day on games, so it's hard to get motivated to write blog posts, especially when I have so much going on in my work life and personal life. Social media's changed the way we use the internet, and I'm no exception.

But that doesn't mean SVGL's not my first and best home, and still massively important to me. I'll be trying to catch us up over the next few days -- have an awful lot to show and share with you! Meanwhile, I encourage you to follow SVGL's little world via social channels if you need hold-overs between blog posts. Yeah?

Speaking of social media, here's a boring article I wrote about the changing landscape around virtual currency. You probably don't care about this stuff, but some people do.
