I disappeared from the internet for a week. Not in one of those “What happens when a dyed-in-the-wool millennial tries to live off the grid for a trivial amount of time” articles or anything. Just to visit some theme parks. Unsurprisingly I came back with a notebook full of ideas about my experiences there. There isn’t much about games here - need to play catchup on my missed week before I can start posting games stuff again. So instead here’s an assorted list of free-form, barely edited thoughts about a visit to Universal Studios Orlando and their associated Halloween Horror Nights event. Each one could probably be fleshed out into an entire essay if I wanted to, but this is a videogame website and I’m trying to focus on getting back into the swing of that, not writing about theme park rides and events.
