Or as Cartman would say:  Fuck, fuckity, fuck fuck fuck
 
No lame excuses as to why I haven't posted - I'll just come right out and admit that I don't have the drive for blogging that I used to (started back in 2005, so I guess it's understandable for an interest to die away over that long of a stretch *shrug*). It's not that I don't care about all of YOU, but I talk to most of you on Skype, MSN, Live, or Facebook anyhow (and if not, I apologize - let me know and I'll add you), so I talk to a lot of you on a semi-daily basis anyhow. But, while the mood has struck me, here's some bullets to catch us up. 
 

• Went to Gen Con - got some hands on time with Dante's Inferno (awesome), and Dragon Age (disappointing). Also got a peak at Champions Online (the only interesting thing here, at least in my non-MMO mindset, was the insanely complex character creation), and some lesser known games (Odd Society, for one - which... well.. sucked).
• Got a 120GB Zune for $100, as opposed to the regular price tag of $250. Bargains like that are always awesome. :-) Was definitely time to retire the <1GB version I had been relying on in the past.
• Got back from Gen Con,  then turned around and went to Myrtle Beach on a regular vacation. Was alright.... I'm not a sun-worshiper, so I got bored pretty easily when all my travel party wanted to do was lay on the beach, and I was stuck with a lack of nearby technology.
• Am trying to catch up on old 360 games, so I spent some GS trade-in credit on GRAW and Condemned. Figure I'll pick up games like the first Gears, Bioshock and Oblivion, and maybe Bully or Dead Rising the next time they have their "buy 2 get 1 free" sale, but for right now, these little $7.99 games will do just fine.
• I'm in the middle of Mini Ninjas on the PS3, which I'll be reviewing in the coming days, but other than that, it's been a bunch of shovelware coming my way. Site traffic at Gamer's Intuition is downright atrocious (that's a long, LONG - and annoying - story), so some companies aren't supporting us with review copies like they used to, adding to my overall "meh" feeling at the moment.

 
Didn't mean to turn this into a bitching blog... I'm not depressed, REALLY, I'm not, so please don't think this is some outcry for help. Guess it's just one of those days...
