2014:A Year in Summary

Here we are, just barely into 2015, and some of you may have wondered where I went to when the posting dried up. Work picked up quite a bit, and I'm easily distracted, so I didn't always feel like or think to sit at my computer and hammer out a post.

The fact that I wasn't posting doesn't mean that I wasn't gaming, though, and if you're curious as to what those other distractions were, or just wonder what I get up to, I decided last January to compile a list of my entertainment pursuits. It might not be complete, because I sometimes didn't update it as I went, but it's as comprehensive as I could make it.

Feel free to peruse, comment, question, or ignore, as you may like!

*Indicates something started previously, but finished in 2014.

For Video Games, I also almost finished the original Baldur's Gate, because I couldn't remember having beat it. Once I got to the end, however, I discovered I was too low level to complete the final fight. Rather lame.
