I'm the writer behind Planned All Along, which was started on July 19th, 2013. I have updated every Friday, for more than two years and a half, talking about games and films that I like, others that I dislike, and a bunch that I was just indifferent about. Normal reviewer stuff, really. As time has gone on and my life schedule changed, Fridays were skipped from time to time, but I have been doing this for almost 10 years now.
There isn't really a pattern to what I review. If I can make a few games fit together by a theme, I may make a themed month. Other times, I just go from a game to the other, without much of a relation. It all boils down to what I own, and what I want to discuss at any moment.
A short history of Planned All Along:
When I started in July 2013... I was just bored. No, really. I had this decent collection of video games, but I didn't know what to play. So many Game Boy Advance games, so many Nintendo DS games, so many Wii games... what do I do? Well, I had an idea: If I force myself to play through these games to discuss them later on a website, then it'll allow me to revisit my whole collection and sharemy opinions. Why not? At the time, I had been watching many members of the online reviewing community for a while, so I knew how things go, how to make a review. At the time, I was also a fan of the Nostalgia Critic, who reviews a movie by discussing its story. It was a concept I like, spoilers be damned, so I adapted that to video games.
