I have a blog post pile of shame.

Sitting in my draft folder are posts I started but not finished.

One day I plan to return to them and finish what I started.

A couple of those posts are the final two posts that complete my replay of Portal (which I need to finish, I am near the end) and my thoughts on playing the Portal boardgame. These two are a priority.

But even with those posts haunting me (we won’t mention my Alien isolation post). When a new arrival comes in like “I’m too young to die“ by Bitmap Books for me to read, new post ideas instantly jump to mind.

I’d love to do a series of posts playing through all the different versions of Doom that I have (on the Switch at the moment). Whilst playing the original I’d reread the books I have on the game, Masters of Doom, and DOOM:SCARYDARKFAST. Then as I bore you with my posts I’ll try and work in my personal stuff along with snippets picked up from the books.

I’d love. No really I would. To get my hands on both versions of the Doom boardgame, play them, and write about that experience to. But that is a pipe dream. Cost and available funds will be a factor stopping this.

I have similar plans for other video games I have books on to. Such as Final Fantasy 7, Tempest, Metal Slug series, Mario 2 & 3.

I need to revisit the Bioshock series and play the boardgame I’ve never got to the table.

Then there is Skyrim. I own it on the Switch but never played it until two days ago whilst at Nathan’s (I started the game, and now a couple of hours in).

Sadly my preferred publisher Boss Fight Books hasn’t done a book on Skyrim. And I’m not seeing any books out there that are similar to the sort Boss Fight produce or I have in my collection.

I’m not sure what I can add to the coverage of Skyrim. But we will see how that goes.

In the meantime I need to come up with a plan that enables me to finish some of those draft posts, and write new ones. Life would be so much easier with a big lottery win!
