What’s up old friend! Sorry, I literally just read your comment for the first time on March 1, 2024, lol. I’ll email you from my personal email account. Catch you there.

Wow, I just read your comment (which you wrote on 9/15/23) on 2/5/24 and am only now responding. Please excuse my extreme delay. I kid you not, when I read your comment only moments ago, my comment section had 10,000 more to sift through. 99.5% of it is spam though, so I was just weeding through it trying to catch the legit comments. And you absolutely made my day! Sadly, I haven’t kept it up much lately but as you can see, I’m back in the new year and hope to update at least monthly going forward. Hell, I even have my first game review lined up for the first time in who knows how long! Years, certainly, haha. Anyway, thank you so much for the kind words. It truly touched me that my work over the years have somehow entertained you and given you some small matter of joy. I can’t believe ol’ RVGFanatic just turned 17 a couple weeks ago. January 2007 feels like another lifetime ago, ha! Take care and all the best to you as well :)

Apologies for the super delayed response, lol. But I truly appreciate you taking a moment to leave me a message, even if I only just now got around to reading it. My wife and I actually have a decent sized board game collection, but we always end up playing the same small handful: Monopoly Deal, Gizmos, Splendor, Jaipur, Camel Race, and Crystal Golems. Cheers!

I would almost want to introduce you to the (expensive) burgeoning world of board games (which is currently trying to enter GameFAQs’ database).
If you’re ever visiting the coastlines of the US, I volunteer for various nerd events and we often have leftovers or wacky guest stories. (Tomino Yoshiyuki can publish a book of snarky quips and drunken philosophies for every year he does fan conventions.)

I wrote years ago to say how much I loved you writing style and you’re still going strong – even with the family! Great that you’re still finding time in your life for your passions. Keep it up. And keep writing when you can.

All the best from the other side of the world.
Jon

Been trying to get ahold of you through email for a while, with no luck. If you read this, please get in touch with me.

Appreciate that. Oh man, Bone, Nausicaa and Maus I all own, haha. They’re just a super looooong TBR (to be read). I’m not lying when I say too many interesting reads and not enough time. The Bone series looks like a fun colorful kid series but I hear it can be enjoyed by adults even. An all ages sort of saga. Love when something appeals to kids but can be equally enjoyed by adults. That tells me it’s pretty deep, or at least, extremely well made. I just picked up Rasl, another work from the Bone creator, Jeff Smith. Maus is said to be one of the most important graphic novels ever made, so I’m excited to see what the hype is all about. And Nausicaa… I have that beautiful hardcover deluxe two volume set. Can’t go wrong with Miyazaki. What are some of your favorite books/manga/comics?

Based on a lot of your book posts, I’d love to see your thoughts on Bone, Nausicaa, and the graphic novel Maus. They all seem like they’d be up your alley.

And still excitedly waiting for the day the top 200 list comes out! It’s definitely better to take your time so you have a more thought out list, so don’t let yahoos like me make you feel pressured into rushing things.
