Well, duders, it's certainly been awhile since I last posted a blog here. I guess the Whiskeyocalypse got me thinking that I should visit more than just the video content for the site. 


In the long, long months since I've been gone, a ton of stuff has happened. Here's just a taste of what's been going on:

  • I went to college. Specifically, I began my studies in English Literary Studies  (which I later changed to Cinema and Screen Studies and added Creative Writing as a second major) at the State University of New York at Oswego.  
  • I've joined the school newspaper, The Oswegonain,  as a Staff Writer focusing mainly on movie, game, and music reviews, as well as the occasional opinion piece. As of a few days ago, I've even become the new Copy Editor for the paper, which is definitely going to be an exciting opportunity.
  • I've been kicking ass academically, joining the Honors Program and maintaining a healthy 3.33 GPA.
  • My writing has kept on going strong, be it through academic papers, the aforementioned newspaper pieces, or stories and responses for my fiction class.
  • I actually met Fallout 3 designer Jeff Gardiner when he gave a talk at my school for the Creative Writing "Living Writers" Series. He's a pretty cool dude.
  • As usual, I watched a lot of movies, and played a lot of games.

So what's happening now that I'm back? 

  • For starters, I'll be writing more blog posts. Expect some pretty awesome things from me in the next few months.
  • I'm thinking of writing some user reviews for a change, now that I've got some newspaper experience. Reviewing stuff on this site allows me to be a little more in-depth and opinionated than in the newspaper, as I don't have to worry about writing for people who aren't game enthusiasts. 
  • I might actually decide to brave the wretched hive of scum and villainy that is the forums.
  • Some other miscellaneous cool shit might happen. 

Again, I'm back, and I'm ready to chew bubblegum and kick ass like never before! 

SteepInKline OUT!

I subscribed for two reasons: a) Giant Bomb is very near and dear to my heart, and b) I wanted to find a good way to break in my new debit card for college, and at 5 bucks that monthly subscription seemed like a steal.

A chat room would be even more perfect for that RealName thing they were touting for their forums; trolls are ten times more annoying in real-time.

Just thought I'd touch base with everyone regarding the status of the panel. This morning, I received an email from Aaron Clark, Head of Panel Programming (and co-creator of perhaps the best Evangelion fan site on the Internet, EvaGeeks.org) stating that the panel schedule is full, and that any changes would only happen in the event of a cancellation.  
 
What does this mean? Well, it's likely that I won't be able to do the panel after all (which would suck, considering they got my hopes up for absolutely nothing); keep in mind, however, that until the full schedule is released, I won't know for sure.  
 
Obviously, we cannot release a special recording of a panel that will not take place.  
 
However, fear not, listeners! To make up for this, I will be recording a special episode devoted entirely to Otakon in general. Think of it as an audio documentary or something: you'll hear updates different times of the day from Thursday through Sunday (perhaps alongside some end-of-day recaps if appropriate) compiled into one single Counter Culture Weekly special.  
  
And with that, this is Tom "SteepInKline" Kline, signing off!

I'm sorry, but how do I access the server? I just got the game recently, so I don't know.

Sister Christian. 'Nuff said. 
 
Also, I've been meaning to learn keyboard for the longest time now. Perhaps this'll help...

I'm almost level 14. Maybe one more quest and I'll be there.

@crusader8463:  Yeah, the only real "classics" I enjoy are the Sherlock Holmes stories; everything else just seems boring.

@Qdor: Ahh, Death Masks. One of the best books in the series. All I can say is, pay very careful attention to what goes on throughout the book; it becomes extremely relevant later.
 
@jaycee13: I saw the miniseries of IT. I liked it. As for the book, I haven't gotten too far into it, but I like what I've seen so far.
 
@SinGulaR: Well then, there you go.
