HUGE Amount Of Content Incoming Soon!

OK, so I imagine my regular blog readers are probably wondering what's happened to me, considering my last few posts were scattered around in terms of release dates.

Well, honestly, it was mostly due to a stress related issue which I didn't foresee happening. See, I recently started doing a VLOG series on my YouTube channel reviewing two shows and set myself the goal of doing one VLOG a week. It was intended just as a fun thing to do in between working on my blog and, for a while, it was that.

Unfortunately, me going up to Scotland a few weeks ago threw me off so much that I couldn't get back into the swing of keeping up with my schedule, and starting to play Hearthstone just made the issue worse: whenever I was feeling stressed, I would go play Hearthstone, and that would result in me spending hours playing it because I loved playing the game so much. Normally, this wouldn't be an issue, but, whenever I realised that I had a VLOG that I hadn't done, I would start feeling stressed about having not done it, which would send me running towards Hearthstone. This stress would also happen for when I looked at this blog and found myself wanting to write something and found I just couldn't come up with anything, so...yeah, I was in a bit of a pickle, to put it mildly!

Luckily, I think I've finally got a lid on the issue, albeit due to simply moving the VLOGs to a "when done" basis so that I don't have to worry about stressing out from doing them, and, on top of that, I finally have a set of headphones, so I can listen to albums as frequently as I need to in order to judge them properly for a review. So, I should be back to posting regular stuff for the blog, and I've got a lot of stuff that I want to look at for reviews!

What do I have lined up for you at the minute? Well, I can't promise I will definitely get these all done, but, for now, I feel committed to doing the following reviews (obviously, not in this order, although I might do the first two over the next few days):
  • What Have We Become by Paul Heaton & Jacki Abbott
  • V by Maroon 5
  • Plagues Of Babylon by Iced Earth
  • Ashes Of Ares by Ashes Of Ares
  • Maximum Overload by DragonForce
  • The Quantum Enigma by Epica
  • Redeemer Of Souls by Judas Priest
  • Rock Your Face Off by Kix
  • Phantom Shadow by Machinae Supremacy
  • Sacrificium by Xandria
  • Light Of Dawn by Unisonic
  • Greetings From California by The Madden Brothers
  • Paula by Robin Thicke (VERY much just an idea at the minute: I know there's no point in beating this dead horse, but I'm genuinely curious to see how this one sounds and, if I think I have something to say on it, I will!)
In addition to those, I plan to be working on a crossover video review with a friend of mine where we look at Temper Temper by Bullet For My Valentine and Sempiternal by Bring Me The Horizon, a few VLOGs where I look at a few TCGs that I've recently gotten into (I'll reveal what they are at a later date, but I imagine that one of them is going to get A LOT of bemused reactions at best from most readers!) and, depending on when I actually get around to making my own gaming computer, I might start taking up video game streaming in my free time.

...Yes, seriously. I used to be a gamer (and not a bad one, either) before my teens and, based on how I did in terms of gaming skill at a LAN party I was invited to a few days ago, I think I might still have those skills in me, so I'm thinking of shaking the dust off on those nearly forgotten skills and becoming a gamer again. It'll also be a good chance for me and the rest of my friends to game together (most of them are PC gamers), so that's always a plus!

Hope you're all excited about all of this and I hope to be back to providing regular content as soon as possible!
