I might do. Of course, there it has even /less/ chance of ever being read...

It's hardly the /first/ - that would be The Great Big Enormous Turnip, a
preschool educational title that mum bought for our Sinclaire ZX
Spectrum. ;-)

Oh hell, if an /interesting/ party were to read it, that would be great.
(I presume you meant "interested"...)

I do enjoy writing. The hard part is finding anybody who actually wants
to read it...

In other news, I tend to overuse the ellipsis.

Nowadays YouTube videos are probably more popular than blog posts.
Try making one of those.
(Of course you need a good camera, a good microphone, a video editing
software and experience on how to use it in order to make the video more
interesting, eg. by splicing footage from the game or whatever subject
you are talking about, and so on.)

Mmm, I had actually thought about that. Not for /this/, obviously. (I
don't have any way to run the original game, for example.) But for
other topics, some of them would really suit a visual medium.

Trouble is, videos are limited to a maximum of 5 minutes. How much
interesting stuff can you possibly say in that length of time?
OK, I lied. The /real/ problem is that I talk like a mentally retarded
person... >_<

Don't I just.
It is a big disappointment to me. Minesweeper is my limit.

No you don't. You may feel that but you sound normal.
Make a script and practice so you don't stumble.

What videos?
Even with a limited account the maximum length of a YouTube video
is 15 minutes. Most accounts are unlimited though, and there's virtually
no length limit. (There literally are videos of over 10 hours on YouTube.
The only limit is file size, at something like 2GB, not video length.)

Interesting. I was told [I don't recall by who] that it's limited to 5
minutes, to stop people posting entire movies. (Not that this stops
anybody; they just chop it into 5-minute chunks and number them!)

I watched a video of a gathering I attended once. Everybody else is
"talk talk talk talk". And then I'm starting there, "taaaalking
reeeeaaaally slooooowlyyyyy". It was infuriating to listen to. Everybody
else managed to utter a dozen sentences in the time it took me to say
one. Jesus, no wonder everybody I meet thinks I'm a moron!
