As 2012 ends, I look back on everything I've written over the last year and feel pretty proud. In March of 2012, I launched this review blog with the intention of covering video games, movies, and TV shows, while occasionally posting design journals for games I was working on. I only managed to put out six movie reviews in this time, but I got through over 70 game reviews and about a season and a half of Star Trek: TNG reviews. It quickly became evident that TV episode reviews weren't really my thing, and that's fine.
2012 marked the end of HamsterSpeak magazine. I wrote for and edited this online magazine for 63 complete issues and two Best Of issues. I'm very proud of what was produced, but both the OHR game community's interest and my own had moved on. I'm looking for a new outlet for posting the old Sky Flyers comics and more Bob Surlaw short stories, but I haven't really found the right place yet. Bob lives on in the recently released demo of Cool Guy Bob Surlaw for now, a game with a great soundtrack by Mr. 8-Bit and Glock that I hope to finish this year.
I'd like to make a really brief rundown of my favorite media of 2012. I plan on reviewing all of the movies and games listed that I haven't already, but I won't be writing any music reviews; I just don't have a good enough grasp of the language of music criticism. Enjoy, and please let me know your own favorites of the year! In no order whatsoever:
