About the old me

Hey. My old blog, Waves, is gone. Here are the old “About Me” pages. They are no longer relevant to me, my mission or my desires.

2013 in review

By Iain September 3, 2018Creativity, Reflections, Site Related, The Mission, VideogamesNo Comments

I'm just going back and porting my blog posts from 2013 over and man, this was a funny year. Existential panic had set in. I knew I wanted to do something with my life, but I was throwing darts into the mist trying to find what that something was. In the previous year, app development didn't stick, and drawing pictures…

2012 = UGH

By Iain August 31, 2018The Mission, VideogamesNo Comments

Ugh. 2012 now. And why is hitting a Gamerscore target so important? If only I knew then what I know now. Other highlights include the stopping smoking saga involving Champix, and the time I inadvertently thanked the universe for having everything I needed. How little did I know back then. Other than that, 2012 was full of videogames (I wrote…

Looking back at 2009

By Iain August 8, 2018Site Related, The Mission, VideogamesNo Comments

And I have to say, it's quite sad. I'm just porting all the old posts over from the old blog, and I'm currently at the Phantasy Star Universe stage. I mean, I know videogames had a big hold on my life, but imagine if I had devoted myself with such vigour to philosophy and psychology instead of a videogame. Imagine…

Looking back at 2005

By Iain December 3, 2017Internet, Reflections, Site Related, VideogamesNo Comments

I'm just going back through all my old posts on the old blog as I work to transfer them to this new domain (iaindstewart.net), and I can finally see why I was depressed all those years ago. It's as clear as day now I have some insight into what depression is and how it affects you. I was essentially staying…

Destiny and the Iron Banner

By Iain May 12, 2016Reflections, VideogamesNo Comments

So, Destiny then. I've been fairly addicted to it for the past few months, and the Iron Banner has been one of my favourite aspects - I look forward to it rolling around every month. I can't put my finger on exactly why I like the week of Iron Banner so much to be honest. Is it because it is…

Two and a half months later…

Oh my, has it really been that long since my last post? That really is very bad of me, especially considering I could've knocked up a few smaller update posts on my phone during a lunchbreak at work or something. I've been in some pretty dark places between then and now, and I never feel like writing when I'm having…

2015 Targets

By Iain January 2, 2015Books, Creativity, Films/TV, Internet, Music, Reflections, Site Related, VideogamesNo Comments

Yeah, I think I was a little hard on myself the other night, I was just looking through the targets I had made and saw that I had failed them and maybe got a little down heartened, but then I realised that I did a whole lot of other stuff that wasn't even on my target lists. So yeah, same…

An update on my 2014 targets

By Iain December 31, 2014Books, Creativity, Films/TV, Internet, Music, Reflections, Site Related, VideogamesNo Comments

Jake was born in 2014 and that was amazing, but so many other things just didn't work out as I would've hoped this year, mainly because I never tried hard enough. I met some targets and I missed others but overall I think I need to just get away from this for a bit - it's getting a bit much…
