Happy Humpday Highlights – Multiplaying

I’ve been really awful with doing these lately! I think the thing is that I’ve had quite a bit of sunshine to post about on Hump Day, whether that’s in response to someone else’s grumpy pessimism or a few thoughts of my own that scream happiness. But I think I’ve got some time now to make sure these come out in the middle of the week as promised – because if there’s one thing that’s always nice for me, it’s getting a boost from seeing someone else get one.

This week I’ll be talking about gaming blog Multiplaying. The folks over at Multiplaying have charmed me ever since they had a WAR podcast under the name Circle of Trust. I think the reason why this happened was because as I listened to them talk, laugh, and generally carry on about games in a non-serious manner, I was reminded of the attitude I take towards games these days – they’re a hobby, meant to be fun, and meant to be played when you had time to do so. The Multiplaying folks also hover around my age group as well, meaning I was able to identify with their thoughts about time commitments to games, juggling other obligations, and generally feeling good about the slow, casual pace of playtime.

Multiplaying is basically a gaming blog that highlights that last point. It’s a multi-author blog so you get a good variance in the voice that comes from it, whether it is about Halloween games, or socialization, or the latest patch on a game they’re currently playing. The overarching theme is the same – casual players’ viewpoint on gaming. The result is an entertaining bunch of reads from players that I think have a good sense of shuffling priorities and real life craziness.

The Multiplaying folks have been constant (and early) supporters of Overly Positive, so be sure to check their posts and podcast out!
