I haven't been around much. Other than the few cases where I come read the news, spout off a snarky comment and then leave again I haven't done much online. I mentioned a blog back that I recently bought myself a 3DS XL. I'm happy to say that I'm still working myself through Fire Emblem on it. I do a mission or two a night 4-5 times a week. The problem is that random missions pop-up every day to keep you coming back to the game - so I clean those up and if I still have time I try to do one actual story mission. I've already clocked in 30+ hours on the game and I'm half-way. If you stuck to the storyline I'm sure I would be done by now, but alas, that isn't what I'm doing. That brings the grand total, per hour, for the 3DS to $8 and reducing every day. I've also played some other things, but maybe for an hour or 2 before heading back to Fire Emblem. Totally worth it for me. I also started playing Pikmin 2 on the Wii again. I never finished it way back when, so here I am trying to finish it out. One of the reasons I love the game are the controls, but at the same time the controls are why I hate the Wii. I have kids. Kids that like to walk in front of the TV... Wii controls that use the pointer don't work so well in that environment. I'm already up to 40% of the debt paid off (game progression) and counting. I haven't been on Steam much, just long enough today to notice that Nate gave me a code to Proteus. Thanks as always! I also have been playing some Minecraft - as always - I'm actually playing with a neighbor of mine. It makes it a bit more fun. Trying to top his tower height or his impressiveness of the landscape. I built a Iron farm... and I plan on building an aircraft carrier in the ocean or something weird like that. If I ever get to finishing it maybe I'll post it. Don't wait up though... it is going to take forever. Hum... Other than that I have been working a lot. My co-worker Sr. Dev Manager got fired... so I have had to carry the slack. It makes for a very busy day (and lots of times, night) job. The pay is good though so I don't worry too much. Things are always looking up in the workplace. How about that Xbone? Yeah, I'm tired of talking about it too. I might go full on casual one of these days. Don't hate me for it, but man it is hard to play all the games I want to play, so I'm pretty content with playing the few i really want to play and leave it at that. Here's hoping that someday I get a bit more time to try out some of the other stuff out there that I want to sink my time into... but with the job and family I don't know, I don't want to trade it for video games. See you around!
