The chances are that nobody remembers, but the initial mission statement of this blog was to play throgh every region in turn. That hasn’t happened and I wanted to explain why.
Firstly, it s because I have the attention span of a tea kettle. Secondly, it’s because, some weeks ago, I split up with my partner of three and a half years.
Normallly, I wouldn’t bother you with “real life” stuff. But I have an important point. When I moved out, we went from being one couple, with two GBA SPs, to two people, with a GBA SP each.
Sometimes, lives become so inextricably entwined, that the only way to separate them is to lose things you never once thought you would be losing. Other people have children. Luckily, we didn’t.
My partner loses SoulSilver, and the beast of a Metagross contained on that cartridge. I lose the ability to trade on the GameBoy.
So, no, I can’t see me continuing my adventures in Kanto any time soon. I’m not sure it’s a bad thing. This blog has evolved into something, in my mind, better.
However, if you would like to witness me claw my way through a different series of games, I might direct you towards my new Elder Scrolls blog. I’m currently whining my way through Arena. That one, at least, is complete with screenshots.
Stick with me, though, for my rapidly increasing hysteria as I anticipate taking my oldest pokemon, Skeptyleia, back to Hoenn. I can’t wait, can you?
Elder Scrolls Offline is a blog series tackling the main series Elder Scrolls games. At present, it consists of my Arena playthrough, and some more general whining, but expect screenshot sets and maybe even recipes. Also, if anyone can recommend me a screen capture program that does audio for less than £300, maybe even video playthroughs. Which you’ll want to see; I have not so much nerves of steel as nerves of candy floss.
