Hello LiveJournal, my old friend.

I know I sound like a broken record, but sorry for not keeping this end updated in tandem with my usual digs. Excuse, excuse, I know, but dead seriously, things have never been crazier. So to prove my point, here's basically what's been going on:

- My good pal Joe "Sweet Rot" Simko had his long-awaited book release party/art show!
- Also, my buddy dmauro and I went to a Microsoft press thing; played some Kinect plus other stuff.
- E3 happened. Was super psyched to hear that Rez 2 was finally happening, plus am jonzing to put MGS: Rising through its paces. I also believe 3DS could be da bomb.
- Tried selling some stuff, like my top-loading NES...
