So I'm completely swamped right now with a busy work week and the nightmare that is apartment-hunting in New York City, and I just haven't been able to get to all the things I want to talk about. I've been wanting to address this chat my colleague Chris Remo had with Cliff Bleszinski about the dearth of valued visionaries in our industry; you have asked me to talk about The Faith Thing and I'd like to; I want to respond to this and this.
I'm reviewing a couple of games games this week, I plan on writing my column about how games' orderly worlds might be providing us anxiety management on several levels (wouldn't I know it right about now!), I just talked to EA CEO John Riccitiello and we'll be publishing more of my interview with him in the next few days, and also over at Gamasutra I've got a few more things up my sleeve for the week that I've been working on.
Most of all, I need to carve out another playthrough of Silent Hill: Homecoming so I can write the proper in-depth Aberrant Gamer on it that it really deserves.
With various things going on in my life this is probably the most stressed I've been in a while (but with a smile on, surely!). Nonetheless, this is probably not the best time for you to send me "can I have game journalism tips" emails. I told ya, everything I know, for what it's worth, is in the FAQ. Also, if you've sent me other non-urgent stuff please just bear with me!
Meanwhile, you guys don't even really need me (don't spread that around too much, though!) I highly recommend checking the above links if you haven't yet seen them -- comment thread, GO!
