Going on Hiatus for China

Hello, fellow gamers.  Well, I've been talking about it enough, but I leave for China in less than four days.  So, Video Game Growing Pains will be going on temporary hiatus.  Not sure for how long.  If I can create a new blog in wordpress or access this blog in China, then we will continue, but at a much slower pace, perhaps once a month, due to teaching career.  Otherwise, I'll try and find some way to update, even if I have to email my updates to a friend stateside and have THEM update for me.

I feel pangs of regret, as I wanted to do more creator spotlights, more video reviews, and a few more discussions on the nature of gaming.  I even debated about doing a video series with a Dark Souls character, acting as a sort of diary/adventure log, to show how games could give you the ability to create your own stories.

Perhaps someday.  In the meantime, I did do something fun a week or so ago.  Feel free to enjoy that, though it is not video game related.

Brief Hiatus and Con Announcement

Sorry guys...I really wanted to try and keep up this weekly schedule, but I warned that there might be some down period in May.  And frankly, I am close to hitting burn out with my life.  Too much work, too much stress, not enough time...so, I'm taking the rest of May off.  I might get another post made up a little before the end, but I need both a break and time to get some of my projects together.

I will be appearing in person at Animazement from May 22-25, where I will be selling my perlers, video game bead crafts, in the artist's alley.  The store is called Realm of Perlers, so if you're a fan and in the area, give me a look.  I'm working hard on getting my stock ready while balancing my life and work...which is hard.

Sorry, I don't want to sound like I'm making excuses.  I just need a break before I collapse.  So, no video game posts until at least the week of the 28th.

Rest assured, though.  I love this industry, I love video games, and I love sharing my ideas with you.

I WILL be back.

Promise, I won't be gone for long.  I'll be back.
