\"VintageJust a quick administrative note — I’ve been so busy focusing on other anniversaries that I forgot my own. Three years ago last week, I started<\/a> the very blog you’re reading now, Vintage Computing and Gaming<\/em>. I determined very soon after that I would always write Vintage Computing and Gaming<\/em> in italics because it looks more official, as if this were a distinguished and respectable publication worthy of title<\/em> formatting treatment. (A few years of Ulaf appearances<\/a> probably destroyed that illusion.) If nothing else, the fancy italics helped my morale as I toiled away in obscurity, churning out regular, unique content that (I hoped) couldn’t be found anywhere else.<\/p>\n

Since then, the site has stayed mostly the same, although the post frequency has gone down quite a bit since I began doing professional freelance writing work a few years ago. Despite that, I’m very grateful that thousands of thoughtful, intelligent readers (i.e. you<\/em>) regularly check out VC&G for the latest posts. At least I still find time to do Retro Scan of the Week<\/a>, if nothing else, and I hope you don’t mind me keeping you updated on my latest VC&G<\/em>-related freelance work. I do have new VC&G<\/em>-only features on the way that I’ve been working on here and there, so there’s always new content around the corner.<\/p>\n

Looking toward the future, I can’t see a reason why this site won’t be around for a long time. I love doing what I do, and I still have an enormous (and overwhelming) computer and video game collection<\/a> to draw material from. So as long as you keep reading, I’ll keep this place running. Thanks for your support and your wonderful comments over the years. Please stick around; there’s more to come. –Benj<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
