After mulling it over for a couple of months (well, sporadically), I've decided that the basic format of Sparky's Update will basically remain unchanged, but with some small changes.  I'm probably going to concentrate less on describing in detail what I'm playing and instead go with a few topics of conversation related to what I'm playing and possible relevance today.  So, for example, if I'm playing Tales of Monkey Island, I'll discuss how great writing and style can transform an otherwise pretty standard adventure game into something more. 
 
I'd also like to introduce sections devoted to noteworthy blogs or forum discussions that I feel deserve more attention.  While I'm sure GB's notorious blog writers like Sweep will get a mention now and again, I'd like to devote this section to finding out lesser known blogs and giving them some love.  No matter how small my blog readership might be, I still feel like there are many writers out there who deserve more attention, and I'd like to introduce them to the world.  Please feel free to list some of your favorite bloggers, reviews, or other user content that you think deserves a shout-out and I'll give it a read to see if I want to throw it on in the next update. 
 
Until then, always know where your towel is.
