The 600th Blog Spectacularsaurus!

Am I going to re-use Bobby Roode’s theme music on all of my centennial blogs? Probably. Because it’s GLORIOUS!

 

That’s right, my dear childrens, I have now amassed 600 blogs here at the Dojo! Please, no need for applause. Just throw money.

Technically speaking, this is the 604th overall blog on this site, thanks to the recent efforts of AfterStory, who is so kind to help contribute to my Dojo. But we’re keeping our milestones separated, because it’s easier to keep track of. And since this is my 600th blog, I’m celebrating.

 

 

To be honest, this milestone post may be a relatively short one, seeing as I have a number of reviews I want to get to writing. Plus, this is the 600th blog. Seems kind of like a decently random milestone, at least when compared to 500.

Am I just making excuses for laziness? Maybe. But those reviews aren’t going to write themselves, you know. I’m totally going to write more meaningful content once I’m done here. I’m not just going to go eat a sandwich or something.

 

You can never eat too many sandwiches.

Come to think of it, I’m actually surprised I’ve managed to reach this 600th blog milestone right now. I started Wizard Dojo back on Christmas day of 2014, so I’ve managed to reach this mark in a little under three years. Am I that dedicated? Or do I just have too much time on my hands?

Well, whatever the case, I’m happy I’ve managed to maintain this site in the way I have. I know, that sounds like I’m giving myself a pat on the back, but with the way I’ve seen blogs come and go, I’m happy that I’ve been able to continuously share my opinions and critiques on the things I love. I know some people just don’t have the time to maintain their sites, and that’s perfectly understandable, life has gotten in the way of my own writings quite frequently. But I always want to make sure I have some new content as frequently as possible, so that the kind people who take their time to read what I write have a little something to enjoy (that, and I’m an opinionated bastard, so I have no shortage of things to write about).

So thank you, dear readers. You make every update I make worth it. I hope you find some interest and/or entertainment from the Wizard Dojo. I love video games and movies, so hopefully, that love shows in the things I write.

I must admit, I’m not sure how much longer I can keep up this pace. Now now, no need to fear, I’ll keep the updates coming, but if I ever want to actually make a video game of my own some day, I have to dedicate more of my spare time to that. Again, I’ll keep this site alive no matter what it takes, but making my own video game(s) is something of a dream of mine, so I have to pursue that as well.

But that’s a little bit down the road. I hope to maintain at least a similar flow of updates for the rest of 2017 anyway. I have a number of video games that need a reviewin’, and I also think I’ll soon be dedicating a bit more of this site to animated movies. I feel I used to have a decent balance on which subject I wrote about between games and animation, but this past year or so seems like video games have completely taken the focus on this site. Not that there’s anything wrong with that, I love video games. But I would like to reclaim some of that balance. Perhaps after I hit 300 game reviews, or when I finally make my list of favorite games, I’ll shift some of that focus back. I don’t know. I’m rambling at this point.

I’ve also been tempted to start writing on TV series in some capacity, but I can’t see myself dedicating as much time to writing about them as movies or games. TV shows are just a bigger, more demanding commitment. By the time it would take to watch one season of most TV shows and write one review on it, I could watch several movies or play several games and crank out a ton of reviews. TV shows are still something I would like to write about to some degree though, particularly after I’ve fallen in love with Twin Peaks over this past Summer (which explains the sudden boom of Twin Peaks gifs around here). Maybe for my tippy-toppy favorite shows, I’ll write a thing or two here and there.

I’ve also been tempted to share some of my creative writing or drawing on here. But I don’t know about that. I’m no great artist by any stretch, but I love to draw the silly little characters and creatures that spawn from my mind. Perhaps I could share some of my concept sketches for potential video game ideas? I don’t know. I’m rambling again.

Wow, this is the most boring milestone post ever! I’m just going on and on about the things I might do with this site. Geez, I’ve probably put anyone reading this to sleep before they even made it halfway to this point.

Well, I better wrap tis up before things grow even more dull. So once again, I give a big thanks to all you lovely people who continue to help my site grow, and make my writing worthwhile. I hope you look forward to all the video game and movie reviews I have lined up, and whatever other crap I decide to write as well. And I hope you look forward to whatever other creative endeavors the future holds for me.

Keep on keepin’ on.

Let’s end things with the Samurai Pizza Cats theme song!
