February is Bad A** Brawlers month, part 1! I just love that title.

Initially slated for a month's celebration, I have extended my appreciation for pugilists, swordsmen and ninja into the month of March. I'm currently playing (or replaying) Ninja Gaiden Black and will move on to Viewtiful Joe 2. Ending the first act will be God of War 2. My progress in Ninja Gaiden Black is Chapter 6 (restarted due to damaged save - was on Chapter 7 previously) and while the game is still tough as nails to me, I've gotten much more accustomed to it. I haven't gotten a rank lower than Greater Ninja (had some Master Ninja and mostly Head (lolpetergriffin) Ninja). I'm also trying to unlock the uber killing machine Unlabored Flawlessness, which has me concentrating on maximizing the essence I gather from my enemies. It's pro work using intermediate skill, but I believe I can achieve this.

My band's EP tracks are almost ready! I'm very pleased with the sound, and hope that I can help tweak the mix job so that it sounds even better than it already does. If you haven't seen the videos and images of us in the studio, please visit my guitar blog. Leave comments! I've also completely moved in and am loving my new apartment.

Be sure to listen to the Trigames.NET Trilobyte, dropping about 3 times this week. Episode 121 was just released. We've been mega busy this weekend, but shared some bits of what we've been playing.
