I'm back from my trip to AK, it was pretty good. I'm also more or less back to GameSpot. I've been here, just not too much. Life has been really busy. Aside from planning for my trip, I had an impromptu trip to PA in late August due to my Grandfather passing away. I've been working on getting his estate settled, not a fun job. I've also had a few little odd jobs, like helping my dad paint a house, not too fun. At least I got to go to the Hot Dog Inn. If you're from Cleveland's West Side, you know it really well. Best hot dogs ever.

I picked up a 360 yesterday, kinda cool. It's been a while since I played a game with a controller like that though, kinda funny feeling... I decided to get the Halo edition system, even though I've never played Halo before. It's supposed to have the 65nm chip in it, so hopefully that helps with the ring of death issues, we'll see. You also get the play and charge kit, so the price difference isn't really that much more for the green console. My gamertag is SoulMotor, whatever that really means, I don't know. Now all I need is a new HDTV and I'll be doing excellent. Though I do admit the 360 doesn't look at all shabby on my SDTV.

I'll remember to put up some photos in a later blog, and maybe I'll be visiting the 'spot a little more often; though I feel with all the gaming goodness I just unleashed upon myself, I might have more distractions...
