So when I wasn’t looking, it seems that six weeks or so have gone by since I last updated. Fear not, UFBRT-eers!
OK, that’s kind of a lie. You probably should fear a little.
The UFBRT was a product of way too much free time at work and nobody to talk to about board gaming. The problem is that I’ve taken a new job which eats up a good chunk of the time that I used to spend trying to look busy. That’s not really the case anymore. Combine that with the disappearance of regular gaming nights with my friends, this leaves me in a spot where I have really little time to review games that I’m not actually playing. I don’t want to do that, and I’m sure you don’t want to see that.
So while I’m not really willing to say the words that signal the end of the Untitled Flash-Based Review Thing, I am willing to say that until one of the above conditions is heavily modified then I just don’t have what’s required to create worthwhile material anymore these days. And that sucks.
But, if I never get a chance to make another video again, I think 30+ videos and 812 subscribers in about a year is a pretty decent run. You’ve all made it totally worth the effort, and I sincerely thank you all for following along.
Party on.

I know what you mean about lack of free-time. I get to play a game over lunch about once a month these days. I look foward to seeing your next video (best board game videos on the web!) but I completely understand if you don’t ever make it.

Thanks for all the great videos! You, sir, Rock!

No way to convince your boss that flash board game reviews are necessary eh?
Here’s hoping you get 4-5 board games for Christmas, and you take a few weeks off and decide to make a huge blowout UFBRT!

You sir are by far my favorite reviewer of board games, and I just died a little inside after reading this, but I definitely understand. Your videos were incredibly well made, and that takes time. If you are ever in Toronto, I will buy you a beer and challenge you to a game of Crokinole. I’m gonna go play right now as a matter of fact, in your honor…
