I feel kind of… restless. I suspect it's mostly a result of having not left the house for about two weeks (although I did actually go out today for the first time since knackering my ankle). But still… it's a bit of a frustrating feeling, because it's that kind of restless that makes you feel anxious that you "should" be doing something, even when you know that you've 1) done everything that you need to have done and 2) don't actually have anything to do that is of such earth-shattering importance that you need to worry about it even a little bit.
Oh well. I at least got some recording done today; Retro Select next week will be fun, since I went for Westwood's classic RPG Lands of Lore and ended up playing it for an hour and three quarters because I was having such a good time. I'd forgotten quite how excellent that game was, and I'm tempted to play more off-camera — but I do have a lot of other things I want to be getting on with, too, so I should probably resist the temptation. For now, anyway.
I feel like I'm getting pleasingly close to the end of Atari A to Z Flashback, too. We're not yet on the last page of games, but the episode I recorded today was the last one of the middle column of the penultimate page. I think I've got one more two player-only game to inflict on my wife, then it should be a smooth ride to the finish, all being well. It's going to feel damn good when that project's complete — that and the Atelier MegaFeature are the biggest, longest-term major creative projects I've ever undertaken, and finishing one of them will feel amazing. Finishing both of them will feel even better!
I'll likely play some Police Quest III this week because the first two intrigued me sufficiently. I see mixed opinions on III: some people absolutely love it, others hate it. IV is pretty universally reviled, but I'm intrigued to try it anyway; it was a game of a few interesting "firsts" for gaming at the time, so it's of historical significance, if nothing else.
I'm keeping busy if nothing else. Got a nice weekend visiting the folks planned for next weekend, too, so that will be a nice opportunity for Andie and I to enjoy a bit of quiet time in the country. I doubt we'll do anything particularly out of the ordinary while we're there; sometimes it's just nice to relax somewhere other than your own house, you know?
Anyway. Work tomorrow so time to hit the hay. Hope you all had a lovely weekend!
