Sorry guys. Before Retro Revival Week started, I was a week or two streak of playing only NES games, so when Retro Revival Week came, I was feeling a little bit of burnout on the stuff for the time being. I accomplished what I wanted: Beating The Legend of Zelda, but that's where my excitement began to dwindle.

So, earlier tonight, I was engaging in a webcam session over MSN with a friend and... well, turns out I landed off filming myself for him playing Oblivion, Far Cry, and World of Warcraft, three games he had never seen. I couldn't resist playing these games, since I had been doing my retro thing for a couple weeks already, and some of these modern games were calling me. I've also had this hankering to play some Guitar Hero, but I've yet to do that at the time of this posting.

So what does this mean? Well, Retro time is over for me. Not that I won't continue to play my retro games, but I think this calls for a revision of the Retro Revival Week rules, and I know jimb0 and TheWesker agree with me on this decision so I'll put it out there for you all. This will probably (and hopefully) also make more people want to join in the fun too.

The idea for the revision of Retro Revival Week is... you have to play at least one retro game every day, but you are not limited to EXCLUSIVELY retro games. It can become very hard to keep satisfied with playing only a certain era of games when you have all of the eras available to you. So, I'll state the official rule change here, Retro Revival Week is no longer a week of EXCLUSIVE retro gaming, but a week in where we celebrate the greatness of retro games by playing them all week long.

I've also decided to put a little less work into the updates because posting those photo journals took a long time, and it can be a pain to try and get into a game when you constantly are grabbing the camera to take a shot (which may or may not get me killed in the game).

The new rules are in effect as of today, and follow through in the rest of this current Retro Revival Week that is in effect.

Enjoy your retro gaming and have a good week,

Later.
