Life -

It's been a while since I made a post on here, mostly due to how much more work has been demanding of my time than ever before. I am still working on Project X Zone, although I have started Phoenix Wright 5 when it was released since then. I really can't seem to find the time to even finish these games, let alone blog about them like I used to...

I hate the idea of having to abandon this blog, but with both lack of time and the lack of content to put on here due to not having enough time to find and/or make content, I don't have much of a choice at the moment. It sucks. It feels like I can't even have a social life. I haven't been able to see any of my friends from my hometown since I moved back to NJ.

Here I am, wasting away my time at work on my birthday, reminiscing about the time when Firion and I met 3 years ago, and the time we spent together. The life I had then and now are so different... Sure, things in Florida wasn't ALL good, but my hopes of a better life with a better paying job... Well, considering the time I spend at work, I don't even know whether if this is truly a "better paying job" at all. What good is a bigger pay if you don't have the time to enjoy them? I just don't understand the work-a-holic mindset, I guess...

Well, I just wanted to let you all know I haven't completely abandoned the blog, but due to my new life, I won't be able to update the blog as frequently as I had promised.

NY Comic Con 2013!

Long story short, Vicki is here to visit for the week, and as it turns out, the week she planned to visit me also happened to be when Comic Con was going on. So... why not go to Comic Con together? So we did, for Friday, since Saturday and Sunday were all sold out when I looked.

Legend of Zelda: Symphony of the Goddesses

I went to the Legend of Zelda: Symphony of the Goddesses on August 10th, at the NJ Performing Arts Center, of course with my 3DS in hand, ready to play in the StreetPass Mii Plaza before the concert started. There were certainly plenty of people there, with a good 50% or possibly more with their 3DSes out, especially while I was waiting in line to get myself a poster and t-shirt combo for $25. I found out that there were 3 puzzles that I wasn't aware of in Puzzle Swap; Nintendo Starlets, New SUPER MARIO BROS. U + New SUPER LUIGI U, and Mario & Luigi: Dream Team. Not sure how I missed out on the announcements for these... 

Journal of a Busy Person. Boring stuff.

Well, it turns out that this work schedule is too much for me to keep up with the blog. It's unfortunate, but I hardly have the free time to plan a post in an environment where I can think without distractions. I wish someone would either get some better taste in music or learn to use headphones... Instead, I have implemented Raptr and my Twitter feed on the side as a pseudo-update to the site. It isn't much, but at least there will be something new to see on the site until I finish moving to the new house.

Also, I have to say, Steam's Summer Sale this year was pretty neat, but I ended up only buying 3 games and a soundtrack. Regardless, I was able to complete the badge via collecting all the Trading Cards for the Summer Sale. I have to say, it's a neat system, and I'm pretty interested in collecting more cards now. There's a good chance that you'll be seeing games that gives cards in my Raptr feed for a while because of it.

Speaking of trading cards, I'm surprised to see that my Dark Summoner Monster Giveaway isn't taking off. I've only given out 3 monsters so far. The previous three giveaways I did were a success, but things have changed. I also want to know why Dark Summoner wants to limit our trades with Trade Tickets or whatever. I may not be able to do any more giveaways if gifting monsters continues to cost tickets to do.

That's all I can post here for now, and I'd like to do a progress report on my games again, since I haven't done one in forever. I feel the need to talk about Project X Zone some, and all these Steam games that I'll be playing will have some details I'm sure.

New StreetPass Mii Plaza!

Holy crap, new games for the 3DS' StreetPass feature! I've been waiting for something like this for quite a while, even though I still haven't gotten all the hats in Find Mii II yet.

So I went ahead and bought the bundle for $14.99, and honestly? They are certainly good games, better than Puzzle Swap and Find Mii for sure. If I were to give recommendations, I personally like Mii Force and Monster Manor in particular. I'm catching myself using up a lot of Play Coins on these games now.

If there's demand for it, I may write up a review for these games, but that may take a while considering how infrequently I get streetpasses.

Dark Summoner A Rank+ Monster Giveaway 4

Sorry to keep you all waiting, but it's finally back! The Fourth Dark Summoner Monster Giveaway, and this is certainly the biggest one so far! I am giving away the monsters listed below for free! Why? I intend on retiring from Dark Summoner very soon, and I may as well have my strong monsters be used by my readers rather than them be forgotten in an inactive account.

This is a great opportunity for new players to catch up with the competition by helping building up your team! It's first come, first serve, and I can only give one gift per person. If you see anything that you're interested in, read the instructions and requirements below to apply.

There will also be a 5th Giveaway since I have quite a few Free Dark Summons saved up due to lack of space for new monsters. When plenty of space has been opened up for more giveaways, the 5th Giveaway will commence, so check back often! 

Edit: This Giveaway is closed now. Keep an eye out for the 5th Giveaway, maybe?
