September 2022 Update

Improvised "Hall Update" Thumbnail.

It was overdramatic on the occasion. I've got some copywriting stuff to do, but there was a chance that it would've ended since a friend of a friend who I've worked with considered move on and sell the thing I rewrote articles for. However, that ended up not working out, and it looks like I'm back to business. You know, that's one of those moments in my low points in life: there's always this balance of miserable drama & somewhat fine stuff. I'm trying to not think about this too much because that wouldn't really help.

Either way, allow me to look back at this rather uneventful month... Yeah, that's how I would call this August. So it's going to be similar to last month's update.

Summary.

In terms of stuff for this blog, I will probably write something in upcoming days. Realms Deep 2022 is right around the corner and I assume that there's going to be enough announcements and updates for an "Event" post. As for the "returning to Warcraft 3", well... I'm keeping that in mind. This is something I'm still considering, but I need the right moment and reflect on it one more time. It's just that I don't want to repeat myself yet again with the same statements and such, which will probably become difficult. On the other hand, that's kind of the point in that specific situation. So yeah, I guess you can say "soon".

How did I spent my free time? Not much in terms of gaming, to be honest. I kept dedicating myself to Rogue Legacy, but currently I'm in a "break" from it due to going back to aforementioned "work". Although I want to also either redirect or share my "video games" time with Hexen: Beyond Heretic, Hexen 2 and Terraria. I'm such a mess when it comes to time management because I just can't split myself: for me, it's always one thing and one thing only. My multitasking problem (if you can even call it that in this specific situation) is driving my crazy sometimes...

Alright. Odd people and potential bots that opened up this page for whatever reason, remember me talking about Spider-Man a month ago? Yeah, me "going back to my roots" was somewhat successful. I didn't read any comics, but I went back to movies: Raimi trilogy, Amazing film and 2/3 movies in Marvel Cinematic Universe. In terms of that, there's only No Way Home left for me... There's also Into The Spider-Verse, but I honestly don't really want to rewatch it. But the rest was great: I even managed to somewhat enjoy Far From Home, which is pretty much the worst one of all live action movies. Yeah, I'm seriously typing it.

I've always admired Raimi films with Tobey Maguire, as many people do. Especially Spider-Man 3 because that's the only movie I have on DVD, so I watch it a lot. There're some thing I appreciate about Tom Holland's iteration of Spider-Man with his solo films. However, I would say that Marc Webb's The Amazing Spider-Man duology with Andrew Garfield & Emma Stone were the highlight in this marathon. I didn't really care much for these films, but this time I really enjoyed them. The first movie is very enjoyable with some great moments, but it could've been better (especially with some deleted scenes). Sequel is definitely flawed. No point to argue with that. Despite this, I managed to enjoy it to: there was a potential in it and I usually admire that on itself.

To be honest though, I think the reason I enjoyed Amazing films more is because at the time (and somewhat now) I was... in specific mindset. Maybe I ended up there because of these film, but that's besides the point. I just love reflecting, overthinking and berating myself for everything around me. You can feel miserable about your current real life situation, then angry about your inability to do anything meaningful about it. One of the directions these thoughts could lead you is conflicting feeling of loneliness... Well, you know... I will just leave it at that.

What I will mention is that I'm considering to look back at my philosophy for Ilko's Hall. The idea for it is to stick strictly to video games and my ridiculous personal shenanigans, but perhaps I should branch out to other forms of media as that's where my focus is sort of shifting right now and I might as well talk about that as well. That's a good point, I think. Although I'm not really certain about this, so I will try to look into it during my reflections.
