Okay, here's the long and skinny of the situation at large at the moment.
I'm sorry, but I really don't think I'm going to be able to keep OCW going.
It eats up a lot of time (especially with videos, editing, etc. etc. etc.), and while I would like to continue the fed as I had in previous years, I have enough other concerns at the moment (that I won't go into) that I just don't really think I can do it.
I'm planning on hopping back into the workforce in the near near future and have a few health concerns as well that I'm attempting to address, both just in terms of staying healthy and also in trying a few new things that will hopefully improve quality of life, etc. etc. etc.
My main problem is that I already spend a lot of time on a few other hobbies, and while I would like to keep doing the OCW thing, recently just running the place has killed any time I've had for just about anything else. I haven't had time to sit down and promo for my guys in weeks, I haven't really even had much time to sit down and play any of the games that are (once again) piling up on the shelves, and between that and the whole parenting things (homework, Tiger Cub projects, etc.) I just really don't have the energy, time or drive to do this up properly. Hell, I don't really have the time to do it half-assed, heh.
So essentially, I'd like to apologize to everyone- I wasn't trying to pull anyone's leg by restarting the fed, and I sort of realized that this might be how it would end up on my end, but I felt like I had to give it a shot. I can sit here and type stuff all day, but at the core of it all, I want to let you guys know that I'm sorry that it hasn't worked out, so if you feel like you've done a ton of work for nothing, well- I apologize for that. And I'm sorry that I don't have time for it anymore, but there are a lot of things I'd like to do that I've put off for years and years, and- well hell, you guys know how it is. Most of us here have done this/been doing this for the better part of a decade, and at this point I think most of us have done the whole "life" thing. We have families of all sorts, responsibilities, duties, dreams, aspirations- everything except time. We always end up with damned little time.
That said, I also want to thank you guys from the bottom of my heart. Even though it was short-lived, I never thought I would've seen so many people pop back around from the first year we were rollin'. I genuinely wish I had about an extra day a week so I could just see where things would've went, but I'm damned proud that we ended up with a roster of OCW's best and brightest for the endgame here.
So here's my plan. One final show, one huge shebang. I don't have any particular plans, so if there's something you'd like to see done, toss it here and we'll figure out a plan. At the end of February, we'll bust out a final show and have a good time with it and all the trimmings.
After that, I'll keep the boards up- might rename them or something, and again, if anyone has an idea there, let me know- some place where people can just congregate and chat, or whatever. I know I'll still be reviewing games and shit till I'm dead and posting whatever other goofy shit I can just because I can, so if you fellas have any ideas or projects or anything else you'd like to do around here, drop me a line.
All righty, I'm out. Peace!
