Hey everyone! Sorry it's been a few days since my last post, i wanted to make sure everyone sees it before I make a new one. Thanks so much for welcoming me back and awesome to see some new friends as well.

I want to start this blog off with an apology. I was planning on doing this in my first blog back but I didn't get the chance to. I wanted to say i'm sorry to everyone that I simply abandoned when I left. I valued all of our friendships a lot but when trouble struck, instead of going to my friends, i simply ran away. I was weak and I am sorry for that. I hope that you can forgive me.

A lot of people in my last blog commented on the book that I am currently writing. Unfortunately, I cannot tell you much as it is currently in production but I can tell you that it will be the first part in a trilogy. It is a sci-fi/fantasy style book leaning more towards the fantasy aspect of it. Also, the title is Angarin: The Escape. You can speculate on the title as much as you want but my guess is not much will come from that. There isn't much more that I can tell you at this point unfortunately but I promise that you all will learn more as information becomes available. I am taking this quite seriously as I hope to sell the series one day. Thank you all for your interest and I promise you will all hear first.

Peace my friends!

Hi everyone. You may remember me or you may not. I used to be incredibly active in the Gamespot community until something happened that unfortunately made it necessary to leave for a while. A LOT has happened since that day about 6 months ago. Since this is a gaming website, I'll start with the games that I have received since then.

First of all, I finally managed to get an Xbox 360 in one of the most astounding ways possible. A kid who I kind of knew decided to give me his for free. Amazing yes? Well, this kid happens to be one of the nicest people on the planet and when his 360 got the RRoD, he sent it in and decided to buy an elite instead of waiting for his old one. So, when the Pro came back, he simply gave it to me. So all the 360 cost me was the cost for a controller and some games. I now have Halo 3, Marvel Ultimate Alliance/Forza Motersport 2, Eternal Sonata, Dead Rising, Lost: Via Domus and The Darkness. Also, another bit of kindness I received while I was gone was from someone who is not so much a stranger to me. My girlfriend decided that she wanted to do something nice for me for the hell of it so she went out and got me Rock Band for the 360. Yup, the whole special edition thing with all the instruments and everything.

But not all was good that happened, I got a lot of DS games too while I was away but unfortunately, my DS along with the Professor Layton game, was stolen from me. So I gave my DS games to my gf (since she plays DS games mostly) and am trying to ignore all the games that I can no longer enjoy T_T.

But while I was gone, a lot more happened than just gaming stuff. As cheesy as it sounds, I learned a lot about myself and everything. I've learned who I am and gaming is just one small part of it. In about 6 weeks, I will be leaving for the University of Montana so that I can study Creative Writing and hopefully, sell the book that I am working on. While I am there, I will be working the vast majority of my time and may not have time to come onto gamespot at all. I might, but I might not, I'm not sure.

But that's enough about me, I want to know what all has happened in my absence. If you want to talk about big news, please tell me that too, I haven't really heard about anything other than the recent Diablo 3 announcement. Peace my friends!

Ok apparently i need to finalize a few things before I leave. Honestly, I really appreciate everyone's emails and PM's. They really mean a lot to me. I'm amazed to see that several blogs were made about my leaving. I honestly didn't know i made that much of an impact here. Regardless, I know several of you read Dark_Kairi's blog and decided to follow along with that.

Let me just say that while i do appreciate everything, it's not going to bring me back. After today, i'm going to stop checking comments and PM's. If you email me, cool. We can talk through email but i'm not coming back here. Also, let me answer a few questions. No I am not going to talk about the reason for my departure and no i'm not coming back. I'm really sorry about this everyone. I know this sounds really harsh but we all need this to end. I'm not angry or upset or anything like that at any of you.

One last thing before I go, I will continue to write the A Look At Religion series but i will be sending it through email. If anyone would like to receive these weekly emails, please email me at Katosepe@comcast.net. Peace friends.

Well, that marks the end of my first Journal of a Hunter. I hope you enjoyed it and maybe got some ideas for some good games to get!

Ok, onto the tough part of this blog. I've been thinking the last few days about a lot of different things. A lot of things happened to me and the people I care about so I've really had to do some more soul searching but in a much different manner than before. My answer is this:

When I first joined Gamespot and started posting blogs, I always wondered if anyone would ever read these. I started out doing this simply as a personal journal for myself. Pretty soon however, I started really getting into the social aspect of GS and look at me now! Not the most successful blog by any means but I've got a lot of amazing friends on GS now and in my mind, that means I was successful. Whenever I play MMO's, I always wonder if i'm going to be able to make an impact on the game in some way. Maybe i'll be the most powerful player, maybe i'll just be in on the political natures of the game. Who knows? But I knew for sure that I wanted to make an impact in some way. Those same ideals came with me to Gamespot but now that I feel I have made some kind of impact, I'm starting to wonder if it was for the better or for the worse. I truly believed i've helped some people but I also truly believe that i've hurt others. I don't ever want to hurt people, no matter what the cost is. And so, I've decided that it's time I disappear from here. This will be my final blog here. To my friends here on GS, I'm truly sorry. I really did care about you all and you touched my life, but I feel this is for the best. Peace my friends.

Hey guys! Here's part 3 of Journal of a Hunter #1! Unfortunately, i couldn't fit it all in a 10 minute segment so there will be one more part. After that, i'm going to make sure that none of my video blogs go over 10 minutes :P. Well, anyways, enjoy part 3!

I've got something important planned for tomorrow so check back. I'll post the end of Journal of a Hunter #1 and I've also got an important message for everyone. Peace friends!

Hey guys! Finally, here's part 2 of Journal of a Hunter #1. Just so you know, the actual video starts out right where part 1 left off so yeah. Next time, i'll be sure to not take up more than 10 minutes X_x. Anyway, forgive that little abnormality and enjoy!

Hope you liked it! Peace friends!

Hey everyone! You may be wondering about my strange absence these last couple of days and I promise I have a good reason. Some big stuff happened in my life these last few days and I've been forced to do a little soul searching (by a little, I mean a lot). I've been debating the priorities in my life, what I care about and ultimately what matters the most to me. Not good that this week happens to be the week of my Japanese oral final :P. Oh well.

Cool story, today we had 4 hours late start (every wednesday we have late start and then we had 2 hours late start due to snow tacked on to that) so i wasn't even planning on going. However, a friend of mine wanted to hang out so I ended up walking 2 hours in the snow to get from my house to school. This was not a flat 2 hour walk either, it's pretty hilly around here. So anyway, as I walked, I realized how utterly peaceful it was. I didn't have a care in the world and it was spectacular. I felt so completely free from everything and I loved it. However, when asked why I even came to school, i honestly didn't have an answer. Why did I leave the comfort of my home and go on some epic trek just to be with a friend for a couple of hours? I'm not sure and honestly, i still don't have an answer as I write this... All I know is that school took a sudden dive in my priorities for my life. The people I care about have always been number 1 on my mental list but now they are even higher up than before. Before, when I hung around the people I cared about, it was because I needed support from my depression and while they didn't know it, they were acting as my solid pillar to keep me standing. But now, the roles have changed and it makes me a happier person overall. I actually wasn't planning on talking about this in my blog but it just kind of came out so thanks for reading (if you did :P).

Well, my video blog will be up today, i just have to wait for my camcorder to charge up (it can't even last long enough to import my final message to the comp :P). I still am gonna try and get it into 3 parts but i'm not sure if it's gonna work or not since I've only been able to get about 8 minutes of actual blog into each part so far (because I don't want to cut off in the middle of a game). Whatever, we'll see how things go. Peace everyone!

You probably have heard but Smash Bros Brawl has been delayed AGAIN!!!! Now it's freakin March 9. I'm really pissed off, i don't even know what to do... AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. I'm so pissed off at these developers... blog isn't gonna be up today sry... i've got a huge japanese speech i have to memorize for tomorrow. Peace...

Pretty much just what the title says, part 2 of Journal of a Hunter #1 will be up tomorrow.

A friend and I were bored and decided to hang out so we went and watched the movie Juno. Honestly, it's one of the funniest movies i've ever seen. And yes, this is coming from a straight guy lol. Guys, take ur gf's to this movie, you won't regret it :)

One last thing before I sign off for the night, it's snowing like crazy so i'm definitely getting a snow day tomorrow! YAY!!! Peace friends (sry, i'm gonna miss ur blogs today. Like always, if you need to speak with me immediately, PM or email.)

Here it iseveryone! The return of my video blogs! It'll be broken up into 3 parts cuz the thing was so freakin long. Umm... i have one disclaimer though, the ending is kinda weird cuz i filmed it after I was done filming the whole half hour blog. I realize too that you can't really tell who i am but yeah... i'm too lazy to refilm it hahaha. So anyway, enjoy!
