The Chicken Chaser Chronicles

End of The Chicken Chaser Chronicles

jonklangdon — Sat, 31 Jan 2009 02:36:51 +0000

When I started The Chicken Chaser Chronicles, my intent was to see this blog through to the end. The interest and energy I had for the project in the beginning has since dispersed. There is a reason why this blog has received so few page views. My apathy toward the project was apparent with every post.

I knew my interest in The Chicken Chaser Chronicles had waned when my notes became succinct and dull. There was so much going on in Fable II that I would play for five minutes then write for thirty minutes. Usually, the ratio of playing to writing would be satisfactory, but the notes I was taking were boring by content. As a gamer, I find watching someone else play a game for hours to rarely be exciting. I can only imagine reading about another person’s gaming session would be even less entertaining.

My approach to The Chicken Chaser Chronicles was a disaster. I no longer write entries because it was boring, and I have since stopped playing Fable II because I felt obliged to report on my character’s every action. The whole project was boring to me, so any readers this blog might have had were no doubt turned off by the basis of the blog. I made a mistake earlier in The Chicken Chaser Chronicles and failed to correct the problem before it was too late. I have no interest in resuscitating my Fable II blog, so this is the end.

I have been warned about shedding light on my mistakes that would otherwise go unnoticed. I could have written a post claiming scheduling conflicts or new responsibilities that had taken me away from the blog, but I wanted to be honest. I realize this post might hurt readership for my future projects; after all, if Jon cannot finish what he started and just end projects on a whim, how can anything he does be trusted? First of all, lighten up. Second, The Chicken Chaser Chronicles was always meant to be ephemeral, which I admit was the problem.

I had hoped that while playing Fable II, I would be inspired to write about issues brought about by the game; perhaps some comparisons between the world of Albion and our own. Unfortunately, the blog became inundated with minutia. I wanted to write about the implications of Fable II, yet posted entry after entry about mechanics and summary of game play. The blog was designed to fail, and thus I have decided to no longer write The Chicken Chaser. It would be irresponsible and self-destructive to continue pursuing a project that cannot hold my interest or further my aspirations.

Thank you for reading The Chicken Chaser Chronicles.

Chronicle 05 has arrived

It has been a while since my previous post, but I plan on wrapping up this blog soon, but not before documenting my run through the entire game. Plenty of posts to come at an irregular, but hopefully more frequent, pace.

Here is Chronicle 05

More to come,

Chronicle 04 is up

It’s a day late and short, but here it is, Chronicle 04.

To be honest, I’m not all that satisfied with the pace or release schedule of this blog. I plan on seeing this blog through to the end, but expect some changes soon. Hopefully those magically changes I’ve yet to figure out will bring in more visitors. We’ll see.

More to come,

The First Set of Chronicles Are Up

jonklangdon — Thu, 13 Nov 2008 06:52:57 +0000

I was going to keep posting the newest installments of the blog on the main page, but decided that it would be awkward, so I decided to just direct you to the new pages when they become available.

New pages

Email: where I present the email address through which to contact me about this blog. I’ll find a better way to present it eventually.

The Chicken Chaser Chronicles: an About page were I discuss the basic premise of the blog and talk a little bit about Fable II itself.

Chronicle 01: the first entry in the series

Chronicle 02: the second entry in the series

Chronicle 03 the third entry in the series

I hope this new set up will clean up the site a bit.

More to come,

Jon K Langdon
