News - I previewed 2 games this winter and also...

 I was a playtester for Stormgate and a new game based on Faeria. If you are not familiar with either of those, Stormgate is a RTS game based loosely off of StarCraft 2 + Diablo + Warcraft 3 and a variety of other non-Blizzard games, and Faeria is a turn based strategy game that uses a dual player constructed board and cards. The new Faeria game is meant to be a 4Ex(a genre of game based off the 4 step process of exploring, expanding, exploiting, and exterminating) version of Faeria and looks quite interesting but it is a long way off from being completed so I can't really tell details. I don't really like any game in the genre yet(unless you count old Civilization 1&2 and Master of Orion 1&2), but this game may be the first.

 In any case, being able to see the early progress of such games is great and helps me to further identify with my new title of Spy. I am not about to do anything illegal like talk about details of games that I'm not authorized to talk about of course. In the meantime, I'm continuing to review games that I play and I thought now and here would be a good place to mention a new website.

 I'm going through and updating my games played listing to include links to reviews from me(whether on Steam or through some other means) and if you're wondering where this games played listing is it, it's a website called 'rankone' that was linked to me from a peer and here's the link to my profile. I don't know how long it'll take me but I think this site has a nice presentation and as long as they aren't censoring my 'thoughts about the game' sections then it should be fine.

 Moving forward, the latest game which I finished was Final Fantasy VII: Rebirth and I have an overall positive feeling about the game. But I'm not ready to review it yet. Please be patient while I prepare something. In the meantime, if you want a spoiler video, you can check out a new YT video that I shipped recently. If you want to watch something a lot shorter and with more action, feel free to check out my successful attempts through GreenOne's vertical LeveLHead course.

 In case I didn't link it from here before, the 'advertisement' for my Super Mario 3D Ray World has been the channel trailer for my YouTube channel and I might replace it as the channel trailer soon, so I might as well make sure it gets 'shouted out' because it's a fine one of many examples of my creativity in recent years.

 If any of these news paragraphs intrigue you, feel free to comment on them or ask questions about them on my Twitch channel where I broadcast some of my game playing and sometimes non-game related stuff as well.
