11 months of #content distilled into one handy article
Hello!
You may recognise me from those videos that autoplay on every page.
It depends on how quickly you scroll past, I suppose.
My first year at RPS has been busy, basically.
It’s hard to pick favourites!
It’s even harder to celebrate my own achievements, but that’s beside the point.
Grab yourself a hot drink and settle in.
There’s a lot here to cover!
Does anyone have time to start playing World Of Warcraft anymore?
Hands down, this is the video Im proudest of this year.
This video was an enormous undertaking.
Watch this space - episode two is already in the works.
FromSoftwares epic was the first major game I covered for RPS just a few weeks into my time here.
Ill be honest, the stakes were high.
Its a tough act to follow, believe me.
As far as validation goes, this video did a lot to soothe those new-starter fears.
The internet is good, actually.
Still, I was really happy with how this video turned out in the end.
I even got an excuse to use my bootleg Pokemon annecdote, which was a nice bonus.
For starters, it was my first as a full-time member of games media.
Having such a personal connection to the original game made previewing its upcoming remake a daunting task.
It turns out the answer is “with great difficulty”.
I rewrote this preview three times.
I’m honestly suprised it makes any sense.
It helps that hardware editor James has a voice so smooth it calms all those who listen to it.
That framed photo of the Deck, by the way?
Hung up next to my desk.
It makes me smile every time I look at it.
Oh, and the less said about my dubious attempt at growing a mustache the better.
It’s gone now.
Can We Beat This Game In Time To Get A Refund?
Its classic, silly fun.
Weirdly, the majority of views came fromthis Waypoint articleso, uh.
Five indie games from 2022 you may have missed
So!
Too many words about too many videos.
But you know what?
Its been quite pleasant, having this opportunity to reflect on my first year here at RPS.
What will 2023 hold?
One things for certain, though: Ill still be here, making silly little videos about PC games.
Thanks so much for watching.
It really does mean a lot.
