A very nostalgic person by nature, I often think that I sometimes may miss opportunities and moments that are happening, or could potentially be happening, right in front of me because I devote a lot of time and mental capacity thinking about times of yore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I wouldn\u2019t quite call it \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.urbandictionary.com\/define.php?term=Uncle%20Rico%20Syndrome\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Uncle Rico Syndrome<\/a>\u201d, but I can admit I spend a lot of time thinking back on things that I used to do, and not enough time enjoying things that have the potential to make me happy today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So, while that\u2019s difficult to do from a creative standpoint, given the nature and age of my content for the most part, I think there\u2019s still a way to celebrate the past while giving way to the future. With this in mind, a couple of goals and thoughts as we prepare to celebrate the holiday season and venture into a new decade of relevance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Creative Content<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lately, I\u2019ve been giving myself grief for not creating more content. But when I look at it, I\u2019m not sure why. While it\u2019s not an overloading amount, I\u2019ve actually created more pieces of content this year than any other, since I\u2019ve embarked on the gaming scene. I\u2019ve uploaded seven videos to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/wallywallcakes\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">my YouTube channel<\/a>, produced six podcasts, and dabbled with a couple of blogs and even made initial headway into the world of streaming. While I\u2019d always like to produce more and do more, I\u2019m going to call this a success. That equates to more than one piece a month, which makes me happy. I\u2019d love to release a video and a podcast each month, and while I won\u2019t quite commit to it, I think it\u2019s possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Video Games<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I\u2019ve referenced it many times before how in 2014, I refrained from buying NHL 15 (because it was trash) and how much time it freed up for me to try my hand at other games. Well, the past two months, I\u2019ve delayed purchasing NHL 20 and it\u2019s led to me enjoying more games that otherwise would get pushed aside for me to play some hockey. Right before Black Friday, I snagged NHL 20 on sale, and it\u2019s taken over again. I really need to create a limit for myself, because I have so many other games I\u2019d like to play and time is limited.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The funny thing is that even with an 8 week break from hockey gaming, I didn\u2019t dive *too* deep into anything else, but still found time for other things. Even more interesting is that the amount of games I\u2019ll finish this year is less than last year. I think that\u2019s more due to me creating more comment and that time devoted to that effort over actual games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Speaking of games\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>NGNY<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You\u2019ve heard this many times before, but the initiative behind \u2018<a href=\"https:\/\/thegaminghistorian.com\/category\/no-game-new-year\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">No Game New Year<\/a>\u2019 is an interesting one, and something I\u2019ve been able to hold myself to a couple of times. (save for hockey\/wrestling releases late in the year) I\u2019m not going to sit here and say I won\u2019t dabble in new games in 2020, but I\u2019m really going to try and keep that money in my pocket, rather than make more gaming purchases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you\u2019re reading this, you likely have many video games and probably far more than you\u2019d like to count that you\u2019ve purchased and never played before. And like many people try (and fail) to say, my goal for next year is to try and dive into a backlog of video games that I\u2019ve wanted to play for a long time, but keep getting pushed aside for other, newer purchases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The idea is less about attacking a backlog of games, and more about trying to experience older games for the first time. I say it quite often, but there\u2019s so many games that I\u2019ve missed over the years that I\u2019d like to enjoy for the first time, and I want to make 2020 the year that I finally accomplish this. Will I avoid all new games? Probably not. But I\u2019d like to catch up on some of what I\u2019ve missed over the years. Which leads me into\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Return of the Temple?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/wallywallcakes.files.wordpress.com\/2019\/12\/torlogotransparent.png?w=300\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-268\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Those of you who have followed me from the beginning are familiar with a former brand that I used when I first made my trip into online gaming socials. I dubbed myself the \u201cTemple of Retro\u201d and my sole purpose was to explore retro games and everything that went with it. It was a lot of fun and it certainly connected me with so many amazing people that branched and extended out directly and indirectly to everyone I interact with online today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But with the desire to seek out and experience those \u2018oldies\u2019 also has me thinking about reaching back to getting in touch with what Temple of Retro was all about. Enjoying games of yesteryear. While that whole idea then was about diving back into nostaglia first and foremost, that\u2019s not why I would be reconnecting with it for, this time around. As mentioned, it would be a nod to the past while experiencing titles for the first time. I don\u2019t think I\u2019d go through a total rebrand again (ugh) I do think it would be fun to bring the name back for some projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>K.I.S.S.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lastly, I just want to simplify things. A good friend of mine, <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/erichunter\">Eric M Hunter<\/a>, and I converse all the time about our creatives and keeping each other accountable. While everything needs to be self-motivating, he\u2019s the one I reach out to when it comes to creatives. We\u2019re both in similar positions in life&#8230;raising children, trying to scratch that creative itch, but also thinking beyond our means at times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I\u2019ve talked to Eric many times about creative ideas, and bigger picture stuff, but all the while it comes down to one thing: procrastination. Not so much when it comes to *actually* creating content. More along the lines of taking one idea and see it to completion. Or even, one project at a time. And, more importantly than anything else, just DOING it. He&#8217;s helped me to see that. Many times, in fact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If nothing else, I\u2019d like to keep things simpler for 2020. I want to continue with my \u2018History of WWE Video Games\u2019 series on YouTube, but I also have plans for other videos and projects. In order to do that, I need to accomplish two things. One, I physically need to get off my ass and do it. And two, I need to simplify everything.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I look at my own YT videos as evidence of this. Outside of a couple, there\u2019s no consistency. There\u2019s differences and changes to each video. I\u2019m always trying new things and looking for different \u2018looks\u2019. I just need to find one and go with it. If it\u2019s a different project, fine. But I need to find a formula for one and stick with it. Make no mistake, I don\u2019t want these videos to be cookie cutter, but I want them to have a \u2018Wally\u2019 feel when you watch it. I\u2019m not sure if that makes sense, but I want to maintain that moving forward. This series, this feel&#8230;that series, that feel, etc. Consistent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I know thinking out loud is starting to make this more confusing, which is precisely why I should stop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Keep it simple, stupid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Blessed<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">All of this rambling aside, I\u2019m quite happy with everything in my life right now. My family is great&#8230;my career is going as well as I could ask for right now&#8230;and I\u2019ve made some really great friends over the past couple of years. While I do need to get my ass a little more social on the home front, I think that I\u2019m pretty happy with where I\u2019m at, in the grand scheme of things.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To my good \u2018gaming\u2019 pals, thanks for being great people. I hate singling people out because I feel like I could make a list a thousand people long and still miss out on trying to thank someone. You know who you are. We chat on the daily and make each other life and enjoy great conversation. It\u2019s all I could ask for. So, thank you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I look forward to a bigger and better journey in 2020. And I\u2019m hopeful you&#8217;ll join alongside, once again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cheers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As we start to creep into the final weeks of the decade, there\u2019s a lot of conversation about looking back on the previous ten years&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":103,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-102","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-wally-wallcakes"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.8 -
