80s Nostalgia... Any time I listen to the 80s station on Sky FM, I get nostalgic. There's a lot of memories from Calgary, and a lot of people I left behind and miss.

A part of me doesn't want to write about it again, but something else in me wants me to hammer this out and say my piece. Against my judgement, I think I'll go forward with this. Of course, I have almost no ( Read more... )

So, you may have noticed a little venom in my post about the Warhammer MMO. Just a touch. A dab, even.
