So 2015 is now upon us and I hope you all had a great Christmas and New Years Eve/Day. Before I start the blog proper, I think I'll take a moment to reflect on 2014 and look ahead at the rest of 2015 considering its only 4 days old at the time of me writing this blog. 2014 was a weird year for me in terms of MyIGN as to be honest I wasn't that active or as active on here as maybe I could've been. When January of last year (2014) came by I was probably at my most active peak but by late January I was probably the most inactive I had ever been on MyIGN at that point. And it got worse. Throughout the rest of the year I continually slipped in and out of being active on here and eventually I was even considering just flat out leaving this place but ultimately I decided against that because goodbyes aren't forever and if I was to leave I would much rather go on hiatus or disappear and not make a big fuss for all two of my readers lmao. I didn't leave though and I did keep on blogging and that's because of this community.
Now I'll admit I'm kinda out of the loop in terms of this place and how it works nowadays. for the last three months I've probably signed in only like 10 times and one of which was for probably like 5mins or less. I have know idea who a lot of these new users are, what are the latest blogging trends to try and get the most comments (ARE VIDEO GAMES ART?!?!?! lmfao), or just the general flow. Most people I talked to have left or become inactive this past year (Oden5150, R1ch404 Zafa, Splitend83 and many, many others). But still I love this place because the general FEEL of it hasn't left and that is its friendly nature, how humble it is and how everyone is great and mostly unique in their own unique way (well ppl used to be lol)
In general though I have always felt like I don't know what goes on around here. Sure I know some frankly awesome people on here who I would call friends despite not talking to them for long periods at a time and yeah sure I read and comment on hell of a lot of blogs but still I feel in my own weird MyIGN created bubble lol. Since joining in early 2013 (Nearly two years now, wow) I never got much comments on my blogs, I never got much followers (Most of my current followers are front pagers who followed me from the community spotlight, I have probably only 100 legit MyIGNers who follow me tbh) and I always kinda kept to myself for the first 2 months on here when I joined in 2013. So I would in all honesty say I'm a niche blogger lol. My blogs aren't the most interesting or entertaining or even good and I never let that effect me or make me change my style of blogging to something more about games. Because then I would be lying to myself and you guys. Maybe I was too stubborn and too caught up in to JUST POSTING MUSIC BLOGS but who cares though really, I do write about what I love. I also joined the community at a time of unrest which kind of brings me on to another topic lol.
March 2013 was a strange time for MyIGN and in many ways is very similar to its current situation. Inactivity and Older users who are afraid of embracing the new faces sadly. That all changed though when awesome NEW bloggers started popping up and the oldies got over themselves and started to embrace the MyIGN renaissance of 2013. I'm hoping that can and will happen again this year, 2015, nearly two years after this place nearly collapsed due to inactivity. I know it will take some time for new bloggers and maybe even forgotten users of the past to resurface but when they do I'm sure as fuck they'll spark some much needed activity and fun around here again. MyIGN is a great community and it needs to stay that way. But it only can if we as bloggers, friends, community members and users unite and make it great and share the message as to why its probably one of if not the best gaming related community sites out there. I have petitioned throughout the year for this place to become active again so fingers crossed for 2015 I guess. We'll se if I'm writing a similar blog like this next year lol.
In terms of my IRL 2014 outside of MyIGN, I'd say it was ok. Bad parts there and good parts there. I didn't play nearly as much games as I would've liked but I did play a few and the sims 4 is my personal goty tbh. I DID discover lots of excellent new music from many bands/artists and yeah just generally had a great time. I am obviously not going to share much about my personal life on the internet lol but I did generally have an ok time in 2014 when I wasn't that active on here and I'm hoping 2015 will be a great year for me and all of you guys too because I think we reflect on the bad things too much and not enough on the good things. I think my theme of 2014 (well what it ended up being like) was discovery and creativity. I know that sounds like a hipster thing to say but idc tbh lmfao.
So yeah that's my verdict on 2014/and what I did last year and all that shit. I know I had a semi rant/long message type thing about how inactive this place is and how I'm hoping 2015 will be better for MyIGN but I kinda feel like it has something to do with this blog, idk, strange and wonderful and weirdly fitting in a way. I genuinely hope you all have a fantastic 2015 and here is to MyIGN, a renaissance of sorts for this place and me becoming more active on here hopefully! Oh and lets pray the Video Game will be great too and stuff haha...........................................................................................
