As is normal in my life, once again I have created an account on a website or game, been active on it for a month or two, then left it for dead. I've done this with 2 blogs and 8 MMOs already.

Well, that may or may not change soon. I'm going to stick around here again for a while, mostly making forum posts and game reviews. Just don't be surprised if I quietly slip away again.

Switching ISPs from AOL can do you a world of good, it seems.

About half a year ago, I was desparately trying every rational thing I could think of that would make my little white stick find the little black box on my desk, but it could only find it for a few seconds before losing track. I hadn't even thought of trying it again after I bought a new little black box, and so the little white stick spent some lonely months wedged between some instruction manuals near the PC desk. I spotted it a half hour ago, thought "Ah, what the hell", and the rest is history.

I no longer have to make a 20 minute car journey or sit in a corner of the local McDonald's restaraunt just to have a few quick races in Mario Kart or some quick games of Tetris. Now I have a reason to make my friend codes available in my Gamespot profile, and finally I have a chance to use the wi-fi features of Animal Crossing DS.

The best part of it all is that I still get a strong signal (one floor above) in my bedroom, so I could play from bed if the feeling took me. On top of that, I will have no problems whatsoever when it comes to getting the Wii online on launch day.

If you couldn't already tell, I'm rather happy right now

If anyone has any friend codes to share, feel free to PM them to me, and I'll reply with my own.

Enjoy!
