Despite a bad April Fools Joke, at first glance it appears that Big Head Mode really is dead. No one really had anything to say about yesterday’s post, and the apparent slaying of a game idea. But don’t you worry, imaginary readers in my head, it was all in jest. Big Head Mode is actually coming back, and Zombie Trail has merely been put on the shelf for a while. I admit the lull was a bit long. Without any serious number of posts in almost two months, I was about to let Big Head Mode just fade away into Blogger obscurity.

Here’s why I didn’t. First of all, I need to keep up my writing. When I’m not writing, I feel like I become lazy with my vocabulary. Secondly, even though I got sidetracked in March, I do want to complete Zombie Trail, and I do want to blog about it. Finally, and this might be the biggest reason, I want to use the blog as way to prove myself for a new job. I am really starting to hate my current job, and I am looking to find a job in what I love, the Games Industry. I haven’t decided if I want to do Programming, or some sort of Technical Management/PR type stuff. I would love to be able to manage releases and make product decisions, and I would love to represent some game entity for an online community. I hate constantly simplifying it this way, but what Major Nelson does, I think more game companies need. I’m looking at you Nintendo. So, there you have it, the blog is now nothing more than a vehicle to pander my silly ideas, in the hope of impressing someone looking at my resume. Shallow, isn’t it?

So, what’s going to change for Big Head? Not much really. I would like to pick the VC and XBLA posts back up. I would like to bring back “Games I Am Playing” on a regular basis, and even provide some more reviews. I want to do at least one post a day for the month of April, as a way to start the blog back up too. Finally, I hate to beg for comments, but I would really love to know if I have any readers out there.
