Hey, here's something a little different. Dipping my toe a little deeper into the pool of on-camera YouTube commentary. I have no idea if this is interesting or helpful, it's just something I've wanted to try for a while. 

Stay tuned for a new short and some new art videos! 

And here's another plug for my new Etsy shop: https://etsy.com/shop/JoshWayArt

My total video game journey is that I played Doom and then Quake, and as I started to get pretty good at Quake I found out that I cannot play higher-quality 1st-person shooter games. The mismatch between what my eyes see happening and what my ears sense is happening (wrt movement, not sound) makes me very car-sick. So then I went to WarCraft II, and got pretty good at that. On to StarCraft, and got really good at that. WarCraft 3 and got "above average" on that, but I wouldn't say "pretty good". And then StarCraft 2, which I got pretty good at. That's it. That's all of them. I almost bought a Playstation 3, but only because the "cell processor" that it had was *really* cool hardware (IMO), and I also wanted a good blu-ray player.

Hi, Josh, I've never been able to afford a computer that only plays games (even if it plays Blu-Ray also). So my experience is only PC games, and mostly turn-based building and strategy (Sid Meier's Civ, all editions), with a couple of flight simulators my only real-time gaming. I do enjoy hearing your descriptions, and the video clips from the games. Watching others play doesn't always tell me what the experience is like. And as I've wanted to be a dad for almost 60 years, I live through your father-daughter interactions, gaming, school, eating vegetables, whatever. :)

Tangentially this reminds me of the grandmother who decided (as a way of connecting with her grandkids) to start playing Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, and had a YouTube channel where she put up her 45-minute to 1 hour play sessions. It was a delightful break from all of the min-maxing "How to speed run [insert game here] in 12 minutes or less."
