Earlier this year, I made a posting about how I was curious (read, concerned) about the effect my newborn son would have on my gaming. Well, now that my son's recently turned 5 months old, I've done a retrospective check, and I see that, somehow, I'm still finding plenty of time for games.

Somehow, in the past five months, I've managed to buy a PS3, play some Virtua Fighter 5, SoulCalibur IV, WipEout HD, and Prince of Persia, and still rack up over 65 hours of play in Street Fighter IV alone (with the help of a TE fightstick). I've also played Puzzle Quest through from start to finish, played enough Quake Live to rack up over 500 frags, and completed the Shivering Isles expansion to Elder Scrolls IV. I've also briefly revisited some old PC and PSP games, tried out some new PC, PSP, and PS3 demos, and taken PlayStation Home for a few spins. Additionally, I've spent many hours scouring the web for every last Street Fighter IV resource my resourcefulness could locate to try to improve, from gootecks.com to the Street Fighter Dojo, to the Dogface Show and Eventhubs and Bad Loser Wall of Shame and even the volatile Gamespot PS3 SFIV forum (try posting a thread and see how long it takes before people start verbally attacking you!). In short, my gaming habit is still alive and kicking!

So, it just goes to show, life doesn't end with children.
