July Was Bonkers (Patreon)

Hey everyone, here with a life update that is also kind of a show update. In that life is finally letting me work on the show more again.

July was... a lot. I started the month by flying out to California for my sister's wedding, which also included seeing the burned ruins of my hometown and childhood home. Then I came home and had a couple days before friends from California flew out to visit us. Then my mother stayed with us after that. She just went home yesterday, and while it was nice to see all the people who visited (and to get closure on the whole fire thing, since I hadn't been home since the camp fire destroyed it last year), it was also exhausting, non-stop, and effectively put a halt on most Games as Lit. related work. It didn't help that guests stayed in the office, where I would have otherwise been to do editing work. 

So here's a quick look into what the next little while looks like for Games as Lit. 101. Or more specifically, for my life working on it.

I have some reviews ready to edit, record, etc., so expect to see reviews of Orwell, Hollow Knight, Florence, and some other games in the near future. 

My first theological episode, about Dishonored: Death of the Outsider, will be filmed on Friday. I've posted the script in a previous post, in case any $10+ patrons would like to check it out beforehand. 

Then, FINALLY, it's time to start in earnest on this next analysis. I restarted Pyre last month, but then this month happened. So I'll be getting back into it, taking notes, and formulating ideas with Red Angel to really get this going. Here's hoping we can pump this one out quickly and get a great analysis to you all, because I am SO FAR BEHIND on Patreon-requested analyses. Which means I'll probably do Red Alert 2 next. Pretty nervous about that one, to be honest. 

In any case, there is more coming! I'll be dedicating my mornings to working on this, and using my downtime at work to continue writing for the series (and in some cases, playing through games that I'll be covering). 

Also, may as well say here that since so many people have surprisingly told me I need to play and analyze it, I got a DS copy of Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky. I'll be playing that when I get some downtime. 

Thanks for supporting the show; hopefully this next round of content will be to your liking!
