Should a Game Developer's Political Stance Affect how you Enjoy their Work?

You've read the title, and now I'm here to give you the answer to that question. However, the answer may be difficult for you to hear, so be forewarned. That answer is: it depends on you.

Announcement

So I haven't blogged in a while. Sorry about that, I was on vacation. Anyway, I'm back and ready to talk games again!

This year promises to be very busy for me, so you'll see a decrease in content, much like during 2017. However, you can be sure I'll strive to bring you no less than four blogs per month, with of course December being a themed month. This December's theme hasn't been decided yet, and the abject failure of Strange Men Month has left me cautious about what I should talk about. However, I AM dedicating energy to it, no worries!

I've been playing some old school games lately, and I'm hooked on this old classic called Tales of Phantasia. You can expect a character analysis and a story analysis of this game this year! I also want to start doing trope analyses, where I analyze certain video game tropes, how they work, WHY they work, and which games use them properly. In particular I am interested in the Doomed Hometown trope, wherein the destruction of the main hero's home town propels said hero on their quest.

Character analyses are a must, of course. No planned characters yet, but I'm still looking. 

Finally, I want to make a blog entry on what I think would make a great Fallout 5. I'm thinking that blog will be released around...September? Probably. Plenty to look forward to this year!
