A bunch of new people are now following me on Twitter. Hello to mylesvives, CraigAllom, fatherdave, valerieki and annyeager.
I am, I must confess, slightly freaked out by this. It’s one thing to have people you know following you (hi Amy and Joe!), and another thing to have strangers do it, as welcome as they are.
Yes, I’m aware that the whole point of Twitter is to follow people and be followed, and the main reason I signed up was to hopefully get more people reading this blog, but now that it’s happening (albeit incrementally), I feel a sort of responsibility. A pressure to come up with decent and frequent blog posts.
Also on the ‘freaked me out’ list is this. Ninjawanda found my post about how excited I was to get the Ninja Theory job and linked to it. That’s scary for an entirely different reason than the Twitter thing. I don’t mind people knowing I work at NT (after all, when the game I’m working on comes out, my name will be in the credits for all and sundry to see), and any exposure I can get for the blog is welcome, but this was a sharp reminder that I’m not just spewing words into a vacuum. Things I say here could get me fired if I was the indiscreet type.
I’m not, and I never plan to blog about my work, other than incredibly vague posts about how much I’m enjoying it, but it’s still a sobering thought.
