I knew it was going to happen! Three days before I’m due to head to the Manchester PLAY Expo I get sick! It’s been on my mind that with all the late nights, long days and cold weather coming in I’m probably going to end up with a cold when I least want it. And there you go. Now either I’m a master of prediction or it’s some kind of lame placebo affect after thinking about it so much.
Either way I called in work today with the usual gravelly voice (even though I genuinely have one I feel like I need to emphasize it). The last thing I want is to be cough and sneezing at people when I’m trying to get them to play my game or when I’m cutting them a slice of cake for signing up to my mailing list. So I guess I’m kind of lucky that I have a couple of days to recover before the weekend.
With a full day to myself I’ve been updating all the info about GLO on the various websites I have posted on. I’ve uploaded the final part of the Marketing Strategy to Gamasutra and I’ve been sending out more last minute Steam Keys to YouTubers and bloggers.
It’s been a nice day really despite fighting the cold and with all the work I’ve gotten through today I’ll be able to relax with Hayley and Neo tonight and get a nice early night to recover.
