Although I am still living in exile from my beloved blog, I did manage to get an editorial piece published over at Toronto Thumbs. In it I reflect on the problem of “nostalgia” and whether playing old games is a case of wearing rose-coloured glasses, or does it have to do with something something deeper..
Thank you to the Toronto Thumbs staff for giving me this opportunity to write something for them, especially to Sir Jamie Love for the impetus to try writing this in the first place.
Bye for now. Miss y’all!

You did an excellent job with that piece and it was a welcome addition to the site and sparked some great discussion. Thanks for contributing it! Near the end of Episode 4 of this season’s podcast, we discuss Super Mario World thanks to you sparking the interest in the title again.

Thanks much for the opportunity Shaun. Toronto Thumbs is the only gaming network that I actually take the time to read
Looking forward to hearing the ep4 podcast! -
Damn, I got knighted while I was away? Excellent!
Also, your writing is welcome anytime Chris, I’d post it everyday if I could only steal you away from the academy to do it.
