What to do?

So yesterday I spend the evening finalizing the TV show Lexx and I now have that in my backage. I could have done without it, and invested the time more wisely but it's a classic and thus I felt a need to experience it.
During the evening my host and I went on taking about gaming in general. We tend to share ideas when it comes to what's good and what's not, and age plays and important role, as we're both old enough to know the classics.

A bit back I explained how I've got this huge backlog of classics that I want to "complete". For those of you not playing computergames the concept is still easy to grasp: When I start a Title I intent to fully explorer and immerse myself into the package. As an example Diablo which I've given up on and replaced with Diablo 2. I need to run through the campaign on hell I guess, atleast on easy and see the full story before I can put it aside. It's something about ePeens. That's also why I like Steam for instance as you accumulate "trophies" for doing certain stuff.

The very nature of steam is infact poisonous to my approach on life. An example would be Popcaps Plants vs. Zombies, a funny and entertaining little game with loads of humor. It's simple and you quickly get bored of it. Then they introduce achivements, like Grow the Tree of Life, and suddenly there's a goal to it and I have to do it, as I have a problem witht he less then 100% completion.
I do encounter achivements that I simply just discard and from the start know I can't do and therefore accept them as uncompletable (without cheating). Most of these are Multiplay achivements like get 1000 wins ect. and frankly I'm that good. I'm not bad, but I'm really only good in the small pond.

Easy, I know I'm lossing track, but not quite...

Rigth those knowing me would recognize my facination and stubborn vigilance towards the game Eve-Online. I rarely discuess it as most people playing it have a very diffrent and more hostile approach to the system. And few understand why I skilltrain the way I do.
For those not familiar with Eve's skilltraining, it's based on real time, you set a skill to train and it will keep training untill it's done whether you're logged into the game or not, so age matters. And thusly patience becomes important. A fully trained skillset would escalate to 23 years of constant training soo.

I know: get to the point.. I'm close, be patient.

During our talks yesterday we went over various MMO's and games in general and why we both feel Eve is failing, and the fact that we both were looking for other stuff. Personally I've created an Planet Calypso account, and I kinda like that games for it's 2nd. Life approach. Also we went over Star citizen, which from my perspective looks very interresting, yet what drags me to the flame is what draged me to Eve. I've already invested loads of time in Eve, it would be stupid to reset and start over.

Here's the punchline:
I'm already going about blogging in a diary form about Eve-Online (I know I've been silent since i started mining). Thinking about the torrents of information of games already out there, should I rebuild the Maxx Loproc blog into a more general games oriented gaming blog?
Would YOU get anything from reading my experiences and achievements in various games?

It would seem i've already made up my mind, so rather what would you preffer published there?
What would make you return?
Would you help in building it?
