For the month of May I wan't able to access the internet at all since my computer was down. I was really surprised at how not being able to access the internet everyday required a huge change to my lifestyle. I had to keep contact with my family in my home country through my cell phone's limited mail feature. I couldn't watch YouTube and other sites that keep me up to date with English media. I couldn't access Gamespot to catch all the news from the video game world.

I thought that when I brought my computer back online and accessed Gamespot, which I hadn't seen for a month, there would be a wealth of material to watch, read and write about. How disappointing. Not very much happened in May. Well, not much that happened seemed to be very exciting anyway.

There was Nintendo's press event, but living here in Japan where half the DS and Wii games are out here already, so there weren't too many surprises there. Not much has changed in regards to the status of the Playstation 3 or the Xbox 360. Not that there should have been any ground breaking news, I guess I've just gotten used to this being the month of big E3 announcements.

It's great to be back though. Hopefully I'll have something more interesting to talk about the next time I blog.
