January '13

The big news for me this month was the long overdue start of the NHL season after an infuriating lock out. The NHL's leadership is in incompetent hands. My Sabres have been really depressing to watch. They started out 2-0, but are now currently 3-4-1. They've lost to several awful teams, including a couple of blow outs, and it's been really hard to watch. Else wise, I got a new laptop, which has been able to run my games much, much better than my desk top. The main reason I got it was to help in the running of my Star Wars table top RPG campaign, which has under gone some exciting developments. First, and most importantly, my player pool went from 2 to 8 literally over night thanks to a pic I posted on FaceBook showing my recently expanded collection of supplement books for the game. Second, as I said, I got a bunch of new books, and have a lead on well over a hundred SW minis for me to use for the game. As video games go, I finally picked up Sonic and Sega All-Stars Racing: Transformed for my WiiU and have been loving it. Sega really dug deep into their past and came up with a great character roster and race courses. I also did something I never thought I'd do: I reserved a copy of a Fire Emblem game. Historically the infamous perma-death mechanic has always kept me from getting into the series, but then I saw the four page ad in GameInformer for Awakening and was intrigued. After I played the demo on my 3DS I was sold. The ability to turn off the perma-death feature coupled with great graphics, writing and voice acting make me extremely excited for this game. Work is going ok. There's a lot of schedule experimentation going on right now due to a high labor cost, but they've not screwed me on hours, thankfully. My gf is working hard and it's made communication between us slim, but we do still talk when we can and she's doing amazing job keeping up with her heavy class load. That's it for this month.
