Hi

What's up, guys?

I'm not entirely sure why I'm writing this blog. Maybe it's because I've been considering deleting my account here on Giant Bomb. To be honest, I'm not even sure that's possible--not with one click, at least. I could go through and delete everything that I can manually. Seems like a lot of work.

Just a little bit ago I decided on a whim to deactivate a bunch of my social network accounts. Fuck 'em. They're all bullshit. Seriously. And I've felt this for a long time, but I could never bring myself to deactivate the accounts, for whatever reason. Well, I've gotten over whatever those reasons were. I was so sick of looking at all of my various "feeds" and "streams" just to shake my head and feel like an idiot for continuing to be a part of it. But that's over now.

Giant Bomb's kind of the last internet account that I've, I dunno, put any time into? It must be the only account that I care about, because even though I haven't used the site regularly for the past eight months or so (holy shit, it's really been that long), I'm finding it much tougher to scrap than the rest of my accounts.

Maybe it's the people. There're some great duders that I'm sure probably still hang out here (What's up, guys?). Then there's the assholes--total dicks, but somehow you still find a place in your heart for them. Then there's the truly disgusting, but let's not go there. Mostly good people. And by the way, if you good people no longer see me as a friend on Twitter of Google+ or whatever... sorry.

I've spent a lot of time here over the years. I dunno, this site's kinda alright. It feels like home in a lot of ways. Yeahhhh, this site's not bad.

Recently I've been visiting just to read over game pages and clean them up--mostly focusing on the new releases listed in the sidebar, Not necessarily knowing a ton about all of these newer games, I've been unable to add much content-wise, but I've been cleaning up grammar and formatting to the best of my ability. Some of those pages, holy shit. Fellow Giant Bomb page editors: you need to read over your edits before clicking save! Just give them a quick once or twice over! It really doesn't take that long, and it would likely make a huge difference. If you're going to take the time to fill in a page in the first place, then take some pride in it!

What else do I have to say? I don't know. My feet are sore as hell. I recently bought those Dr. Scholl's massaging gel insoles, and wow, fuck you, Dr. Sholl! You don't know shit about feet, apparently! Has anyone else tried these? There's either some severe user error going on here, or these insoles are a scam. I'm not entirely ruling out user error, as simple as insoles may seem. Gellin' like a felon, my rear. So gellin' you're like Magellan, my hindquarters.

Oh hey, games. What have I been playing over the last eight months? Ummm. Fuck if I know. I borrowed Forza 4 from a friend, so I've played a little of that. Earned all of the achievements for playing the ten seasons, and then realized that that game's just Forza 3+, and so I stopped. Jade Empire's something I've been playing. Not a lot, but I've gotten into the meat of the game now. It still holds up fairly well, should you be wondering--some aspects better than others, but overall, it holds up well. That's kinda it. I should maybe play some more games at some point.

As it is, I've been using any downtime I have to watch some HBO content. Game of Thrones is pretty good, in case you guys didn't know. The Ricky Gervais Show, equally as good, although in a completely different way, obviously. Planning on watching The Pacific when I have time. Got twenty minutes into episode one of The Wire and was bored to tears. I hear that's the case and that it's a slow build that pays off brilliantly by the end, but it's hard to start such a long series with that knowledge. I've also watched such fine films as The Green Lantern and Cedar Rapids, both of which I was disappointed by. One moreso than the other. I'll let you decide which.

Gosh, I've been writing at a site called 750words.com for (gimmie a second as I look it up...) 232 consecutive days! It being midnight now, I'll hit 233 as soon as I decide to stop writing this pointless blog and go write there instead. So that's pretty cool, right? Why yes, yes it is--quite. I'm talking to myself now. I'm going to regret posting this blog.

Anyway, just wanted to drop a line. It's been a while. Maybe I'll start using this site some more again soon. Or maybe I'll continue my plans for complete internet account annihilation. We'll see.
