The New Classics: Progress Report #2

 


Hello, dear fellow gamers! The New Classic project is progressing just fine — so fine, in fact, that I should be done with the Switch branch of my precious collection by the end of August. I didn’t dare hope for such a swift pace; if I keep going like that, the entirety of my collection could be done and dusted, New Classic style, by the end of the next summer.

 

Or maybe even earlier, actually. My gaming instinct is becoming more honed by the game, and it takes less and less time to come up with a sharp judgement regarding a game’s destiny. The average time I play a game before knowing if I wanna get more of it or not is now down to 15 minutes, which allows me to put several games in a row to the New Classics test.

 

Why is playing time suddenly so important, you may ask? Two reasons: a) the faster the New Classic project goes, the more fulfilling it feels; and b) I’m actually itching to play some games for good, and thus I wanna wrap up the New Classic project as swiftly as I can. Another gamer might pull off both at once, but not single-minded little me: I have to select my New Classics before I can indulge in playing them for good.

 

Some changes are also afoot when it comes to my New Classic posts. I currently have 70 of them lined up; and while I’m totally planning to publish them, I also have to admit that the formula is getting a bit stale by now. I need to shake things up a bit, and I’m gonna do so by writing more synthetic posts that will cover a batch of games at once. New Classics will be covered again anyway, and rejects don’t really deserve my precious writing time to begin with — win-win!

 

Well, the next update will come when I’m done with my Switch collection — bar Visual Novels, which are a bit of a special case. We’ll see where we’re headed then, dear fellow gamers; in the meantime, keep doing your thing and take care!
