After some thought, I have decided that it's best to abandon this blog and to devote three different areas of interest to three different blogs. This will make things more organised and avoid the problem of including varied topics that might interest one type of reader but alienate another. Poker enthusiasts who started following my progress way back at the end of 2010 can still keep track of my exploits (The Experiment - 2013) but won't get sidetracked by other topics. At the same time, those with an interest in TV dramas or Indie games for the PC won't get bogged down with poker-talk.
The three areas are:
1. Poker
This will mainly be about The Experiment which I have mentioned on numerous occasions. The intention is to use all my knowledge of poker, that has built up over the years, and to throw myself into the live game and see how I get on. As a recreational player, I'll be totally honest and blog about all my thoughts and feelings for each and every session. I'll comment on the strategy, psychology and my general perceptions of the game. I'll also go over all the usual ground rules and the rationale behind the project on the new blog.
2. TV Dramas
Regular readers will be aware that poker-talk, on these pages, has faded somewhat and that the subject of TV dramas has started to take a more prominent role. The two reasons for this are that (1) poker has been rubbish for me these last few months and (2) I bought myself a new telly and blu-ray player over the summer and have decided to catch up on all the decent TV dramas that I've missed over the last 20 years. My new blog will cover reviews of each season of around 30 of the top TV dramas that have been released in the last 20 years.
3. Indie Games On Steam
Another interest of mine that has found an outlet on this blog has been my obsession with Indie games available on Steam. I make no apologies - I love a good, well-designed Indie game and believe they do have a lot to offer the world. At present, my Steam library contains 247 games! I may be wrong, but that's a lot of games and certainly something that should be discussed using the written word in my most humblest of humble opinions.
-----------------------------------------
When I get these blogs set up, I will create links to them so that you can follow my comments and opinions on such matters if you so wish. For the record, I'm aware that my wordcount is high and should be trimmed down so I'll endeavour to work on that department.
Tomorrow, I reach the grand old age of 45. (I know, too old to be playing silly little games - but you're never too old for that, really.) It's probably the pertinent time to wrap things up here, so I'm going to do one last Uncle Wobble post and then it'll be time for the new age to begin.
