If you’ve followed the story of independent media outlet Second Wind even a little, then the prospect of this organization reaching a point of security and confidence enough to even host a games showcase likely comes as an impressive feat, if not necessarily a surprise. After all, we’re talking about a talented assortment of folks known for their thoughtful, even-handed coverage and love of games as an artistic and entertainment medium, called upon to help restore the reputation of once-esteemed games media site The Escapist. Had the corporate owners holding The Escapist’s purse strings not overstepped by firing editor-in-chief Nick Calandra, driving much of the staff to resign in protest, who knows what the future of The Escapist might have been? That the ex-Escapist crew are now in a place, a few years down the line, where they can comfortably offer the stage to other creatives within the industry is a magnificent sight to behold.

Hello to all the fans I may or may not have! SO... it's been a fucking while, huh?
Time, money, and personal issues made it less than convenient to keep up posts on this here blog, much as I wanted to expand into new and untested waters. I wish it weren't the case, I'm sorry to have not kept up updates of some kind, but I hope that you'll still take the time to read this post (and, indeed, the forthcoming material which I'm about to discuss).
I just put up a Patreon page that I urge you to consider checking out and maybe contributing to if at all possible - it helps ease my personal troubles AND enables me to do more with this blog and the KURT OF CAMBRIDGE brand as a whole. Even if you aren't able to contribute, I'd ask that - should my material past and future resonate with you to any degree - you think about sharing said Patreon with your friends, family and assorted acquaintances. Every little bit helps, after all.
Regardless, I'm pushing on with new content - reviews, think pieces, any and all pop-culture writing I can generate based on material of interest to me and (potentially) to you. In the spirit of that, here is what you can look forward to in the near future
- Within the next two weeks, an OUTLAST review (yes, the original 2013 game, because why the hell not and also kind of relevant)
- My thoughts on the likes of the first three Mega Man games, Castlevania for NES, Mega Man X and potentially a game or two more - expect this towards the end of May
- I'm toying with the idea of more Let's Play or equivalent material for the YouTube channel
