As for the light content thus far in 2012, I have an important announcement to make: I have joined the content team for 2Old2Play.com, a large online community of gamers, ages 25 and up. Not only is this a great site for gamers looking for like-minded forums, but getting posts on the front page is bringing exposure to my writing and an uptick in viewers for Gamedae.
