Does this mean Yak's blog on YakYak will be updated again?

I'm quite upbeat about this, in some ways. While it's really saddening to not be able to finish a project, I hate it when it happens to me, but you can't think of this is a loss. Sounds like a cliche, but the last year has been a wonderful opportunity - You've taken your original concept and now you've had 2 years to tweak it, iron out many of the issues, and I'm sure your vision is clearer and your determination stronger than ever before. It's not just the kernel of an idea that might be built using hardware of the future. It's real, has taken root and is just waiting for the opportune moment to burst into full flower. It just needs a little patience and re-potting

Good and bad, it's been a memorable two years for us all. But I've always said this has been very much a journey, and where you end up isn't necessarily where you planned to be at the start. But at each waypoint, you've found yourself stronger and better placed for even greater things. I'm sure even you never imagined to be as you are today: The atypical lone coder now running at 200% capacity

and if you haven't already been rubbing yakly beast stink over some next-gen console devkit, I'm sure you will

And, of course, this forum and everyone on it is something to be treasured. I couldn't have survived without it, we've all been through so much, are going through so much; we've found strength and unity with each other. Do we really need any other kind?

Well. Yes. Yes we do. So get back to work immediately, and no slacking.

Yeah good luck Yak, they say if you can take something positive from a situation like this that rocks you bad, then it was not in vein.

Yay for Yak.

Yay for someone honest enough to not compromise his integrity(pretty rare in this industry).

Chin up Jeff....Your day will come and it will be all the sweeter.

Dont let the bastards grind you down..........

Better yet, Tempest on one display, Hover Bovver on the other for a cunting-hard Iridis Alpha-style pain spree.

The worst bit is I wouldn't put it past Minter.

It gets better: instead of spinners, the enemies in Tempest are actually small versions of Llamatron that must be shot, and then played.

A cross-bred, self-referential cross-section of notible gaming history, held together with Wario Ware-like glue. Neat.

Not to mention a tremendous quote-stack.

Oh yes, please! How I miss that. Reading the old blog was what led me here. A proper new blog entry every few weeks would rule.
