I needn't finish that quote because what we had is not lost.  I'm back and, thanks to some recent spectacular gaming experiences, am newly committed to my estranged hobby.  Now, "newly committed" should not be misconstrued to mean I will become some sort of professional gamer who surgeries people on the side, as I remain a busy human being and will require a steady source of dollars and quids and pesos and whatnot.  Instead, it means I will make an effort to delve into the many fantastic adventures that have jauntily sauntered into my collection over the past several months and years.  
 
In other good news, this witty blog is just the tip of the iceberg that is my glorious return to the internet, a wonderful land where anonymity allows even the scrawniest of nerds to topple the mightiest Yeti with poor spelling, circular logic, and a complete unwillingness to do supportive research.  Tomorrow, I plan on beginning a series of end-of-the-year awards which, barring any sort of horrendously hassle-filled hardware hazards, should run for a couple of days.   I will also try to update with some sort of real blog or video in the near future to fill you in on what I've been up to in the 3D world, despite the fact that it's been lacking in helicopter fights.  Don't stay thirsty, my friends.  Drink something.

Welcome back, duder.  You're not alone.  My profession (among other things) comes before my gaming.  Looking forward to reading more of your stuff.

The Haul is back? So many questions, so little words to express. Did you finally get a Wii? Are you thirsty? Then drink dammit, drink.
