Originally entitled "The Colonel's Eagle" and changed the following year in 2006 to "Whopper's Bunker", the blog was actually suggested by Mark Twomey after he observed my extensive "show notes" for one of the early episodes of 2IGTV and in its initial years I used it to cover the stuff we didn't get to on the show.
As one would expect, one's interests may change over the course of 20 years. I certainly have no time to observe the day-to-day antics of Paris Hilton or critique the latest movies nor would I care to do either now if I had the time.
Blogging itself isn't as it was 20 or even 10 years ago. People's use of the Internet has evolved. Later users don't read long-form posts now and they don't need to because everyone can just record a video for YouTube or social media will feed it to you in other ways. If you write more than 100 words people will have AI summarise it and read it to them.
To be fair, being a 3-star general and responsible for the global operations of a multi-national security and defence organisation protecting the planet from what no one believes actually exists takes up most of my waking hours but I still enjoy writing about my video game experiences every once in a while.
I'll be here 'til it goes dark.
