After Hiatus

Hello everybuddies.

First of all, I'd like to deeply apologize for lack of entries for the last month. I just couldn't get myself together to write anything, and I figured that those posts shouldn't be a thing I have to force myself to write - so, there's hiatus. I wasn't really sure for how long this hiatus would go, so I decided against promising anything. And so, after a little more than a month, I'm back writing another entry of this gamer diary of mine. What happened when I was away from writing? I'll begin with my Youtube channel,  Racing Spirit.

As of writing this blog post, my channel stands at 21 subscribers, which - while maybe not spectacular -  is something I cherish. My Test Drive Unlimited videos went on a hiatus, and to be honest, they're most likely gonna undergo a major reboot, to match the current direction of the channel. As of now, pretty much all content on the channel is my Need for Speed Shift series with my voice commentary. Current format of my videos is the result of much of experimentation I did throughout the last month - it went from text commentary with next to no editing aside from text, to post-recorded voice commentary, which I found to be the most comfortable with. Aside from racing game walkthrough series with mild storytelling attached to it, I plan a few more type of videos, which I will share with you at he later date. I'll just say that they're gonna take much more time and work to do, but I feel they're gonna be that much rewarding.

Changing topics to what I've been playing lately, I've been doing some intense driving training in Need for Speed Shift, and Dirt Rally 2.0 with my Tracer Zonda - cheap, but beggars can't be chosers - steering wheel. For that purpose, I started noting my times in a notebook, so I can observe my progress. So far it seems to do it's job. What else? Together with my friend Karol, we're knees deep into Half-Life 2. So far I'm loving it for engaging story and gameplay - Alyx is an awesome NPC companion. After this we're planning to play Quake, and check out Battlefield series (which I have thanks to Origin Access). Together with some of my other friends, we started playing Beyond Good & Evil, an amazing action-adventure from the creator of Rayman - they are loving it. Together with... myself, I'm continuing Real Racing 3 playthrough. I'm currently going through the Exclusive Series with Mercedes-Benz 190E 2.5-16 Evolution and BMW M3 GTS, which I'm planning to beat before going any further with main challenges. I'm playing with manual throttle and brakes, which gives more control and better times. The reason for it is simple - gold coins I need to upgrade other cars. I haven't been playing any Asphalt 8 since the beggining of a hiatus, and I currently don't plan to go back to it.

I also created my Twitter account where I follow some of the other racing youtubers.

And that's about it for today, I'll write much more in the next entry. Stay tuned and stay safe.
