^Been feeling really nostalgic lately. Been stuck in a weird depression for a long time now, so I'm trying to go back to a time when I was "truly" happy and see what's different. One thing I did was give up Facebook for Lent... of course, about 5 days after it began. :-) The hostile politi...

15 Years Ago, I had my sister order a UK Import Copy of Shenmue II, when I heard it came out in the UK but they were scrapping the US release. I had to have my sister order it because I was not 18 yet, so I didn't have a credit card. When I received my game, I was disappointed to find that I was una...

^Indeed, sometimes I feel like we are our own worst enemies. It's crazy to think that nearly everyone you meet probably has some amount of a mental illness, whether it be depression, anxiety, or other things. I wonder if it has always been this way, or if something in the way we live our lives in th...

I'm contemplative this morning. I keep thinking to myself how many things in life are ruined unintentionally by our own mind's meddling. :? I always have to try to catch myself early, and tell myself to cast all of that aside and focus on what's most important. But these things always come back up. ...

My mind has been obsessively pursuing options for which guitar to buy next. I'm hoping to have an actual "nice" guitar by the end of the year. Every guitar I've ever owned has been <200$ or used, so it'll be nice to own one I can really be happy with.

That first one...

Nice. I have become a wimp as I've gotten older. Give me sunny sunshine forever.

It's been kind of dismal and rainy/snowy slushy lately. No sunshine for days.

My thoughts are squarely on 45 minutes from now when I can head home from work.

Indeed. I'm still just in shock that it's happening. I am hoping it comes out at like December of 2017, so I'll have two weeks off to play it when it comes out. Right now I never really get to play any games.

Barely. :-O

I find myself amazed at how fashions come and go. it's funny that so many fashions from the 80s are back in full force now. I'm just holding out for the 90s kick that's got to be coming.

Ah sweet, good luck. Like you said, some days are better than others for me too.

That's awesome man. I went to my first Con in May, and it was a lot smaller than that. I had a lot of anxiety issues there, but I get freaked out in areas with a lot of people. I have a tendency to watch everyone around me constantly, so my brain goes into overload in crowded rooms.

This is probably awful, but I doubt I'll be contributing to the PayPal excursion. They already got my money once. I just don't have enough money to justify it, even for the game I love so much.

That's awesome. I personally have almost entirely stopped playing video games. I just never have time for it these days, and I have a pretty small house with only one TV right now, so it's hard to find the time alone needed to play them. Currently I'm almost at the end of Resident Evil: Revelations,...

I was just wondering what lessons, if any, people picked up from Shenmue? It's such a game with substance, I am imagining that some of us came out with an inspiration, or a "code" of some sort from it? For me, Shenmue helped fuel my interest in the Martial Arts. I have always been interest...

I'm wondering if he always had these stretch goals plotted out, or if they just came up with them as the Kickstarter started to do better.

It's really slowing down, but we still have some time. No matter what, at least it's being made!
