That is correct. I am thankful that I could be a part of such a wonderful program. When I started my website, I certainly didn’t think it would go as far as it did. I had no idea that I would become official and endorsed by Crystal Dynamics, and I certainly had no idea that I would become an ambassador invited to E3 back in 2018 and sponsored to go all expenses paid, even a stipend to spend as I would like.

I also had no idea that I would be in this program for about 10 years. Through all that time, I have remained loyal and never quit, stepped back, or taken a hiatus, etc. I’ve really enjoyed my experience. I enjoyed making new friends, lasting friendships, and the franchise support with everything, including wonderful support concerning a lunatic, stalker, habitual liar that lived on hatred and encouraged trouble, telling abhorrent lies about me to certain people in the franchise; they never believed the trashy nonsense spewed. We all called it word vomit. LOL I am still laughing about what they said, in fact, we all did. Seriously, do you really believe that if all this nitwit said was true, I would be celebrating nearly 10 years in the program until it closed? Fact is, I wouldn’t Haha!

But all that nonsense aside, It was a wonderful time, and, coincidentally, the very last E3 we attended. Another fabulous bonus was seeing my site’s name listed in the credits of “Rise of the Tomb Raider” and “Shadow of the Tomb Raider.” Including my site winning an award through the official program. There are far too many awesome things to mention in this little write-up since the program has now closed. Hey, but I cannot forget the Tomb Raider 20th celebration book that my site appeared in.

I am closing this site down, for now, only because I am busy with many awesome things in my life, first and foremost, family and friends, with world travel, mountain adventures, professional writing opportunities, and many other opportunities I am thankful to have. I am so very happy.

 Please note that in a few days I shall make this site private, accessible only by those who have a password. I am absolutely not getting rid of it. It will go under protection as things progress. Very exciting.

There is a new chapter to open since this one closed. I am thrilled that I had the opportunity and the experience that I did. It was a very positive one. What’s in the new chapter for the game and I, as well as the future of the franchise, you’ll see. What I know I know, and that is all. LOL

And as always, explore the world!
