It's been a lousy couple of weeks for games, I must admit.  XBLA and VC haven't done much to keep my attention and what little the PSN has to offer surely isn't keeping me engaged.  I won't deny I'm pleased I can play some old school PSone on the PS3 finally, but the gesture only lasts for so long.  Seeing as I'm closing in on my 19th b-day, you can say I haven't had much time to really worry about videogames.  In the next few weeks, I'll be receiving my mission call which will outline where I will be serving for the next two years of my life.  So, as it's apparent, I've been a bit focused on more important things than games (I know, blasphemous, right?).  I'll have my call in the next 2-10 days, graduate from high school on June 1, and will be entering the MTC sometime in August.  Between now and then, there's really not much for me to do except work, ponder what it is I want to do for a career when I get back, party, and prepare for the mission.  The industry is slow-going during the summer and so I'm pretty much done with games for awhile and I might end up giving them up all together.  I've always looked into making games as a profession, but seeing as the next time I'll be able to play games is when I'm 21, I think I'll go ahead and mature and start working towards something instead of brainlessly wasting away time (as a lot of games do).  So, sorry to be so pessimistic, but that's just the way things are.  Maybe one day I'll pen a script for a videogame, movie, or compose an entire book you might come across, but for now there's not much outside of this blog you'll see me doing (whomever visits my blog anyway, which might not be anybody but at least it gives me something to do when bored or suffering from WB).  To the times, but I've got to go my way eventually.  Just so happens that eventually happens to be now.  I'll pop around occassionally to toss-in a word or two about games and some meaningless other rants, but I'm sorry to say that this is near the end.  To whom it may concern, au revoir.
