Picking up from where I left off here a few days ago, along with a little backstory...

I'd love to do a weekly show but I just don't have enough free time. This is why my Twitch show is bi-weekly. One plan was to alternate weeks with Michael Sroka who hosted Settle It On The Screen. He has less free time than I do lol. So it goes, right?

If you watched my most recent show (Episode 84; check it out if you haven't done so 😉 ), then you noticed that I made the "Tournament Roundup" segment a permanent feature going forward. This was borne out of a wonderful idea by a fellow gamer & friend, GibGirl.

So what I will do between shows is create & upload a short video (anywhere from 3-5 minutes) which will provide updates on some scoring challenges & tournaments taking place in the retrogaming community. There are a lot of challenges going on right now: Atari.io Squad Challenge & Club VCS, EverythingC64 (which will restart on July 1), the M.A.M.E. Gaming League (MGL), & AtariAge 2600 High Score Club are just a few examples of that. That's not counting classic arcade gaming tournaments on CAGTournaments.com or the Galaga League. In addition, I was alerted to the #MasterSystemChallenge on Twitter (run by @8BitBoyUK) and the Mameister's High Score Kerfuffle hosted by LondonRetroVideoGames. These are all communities which foster fun retrogaming and welcome gamers from all over the world.

I won't be able to provide updates on everything, hence the goal of a 3-5 minute video. But it will be fun to learn and track what's going on in retrogaming. I'm aiming for either June 29 or July 6 for the first video as the show will not return until July 13. I will share future videos here as well as on my social media accounts (Vimeo, Twitter, Instagram).
