GAMES: GameSpot GameFAQs MOVIES: Metacritic Movietome Comic-Con

I've been keeping this Journal (now called a "Blog" by Gamespot) since January 2005. No matter how awfully glitchy this site turns out to be, I keep coming back, mostly because of my passion for writing, and the other people who read, write, and comment around here. While that passion has definitely diminished, I still write from time to time, whenever I find something that thrills me enough to write.

Three years later, I no longer have braces on my teeth. Feels very good. About ******* time, if I may add.

Also, I'm now writing for Antiquiet, which is an awesome music website that you should totally check out:

Cya later, Gamespotters!

Almost six months, I reckon! Probably the longest I've stayed without updating here. So, here's the deal, no b*******: Last time I posted, I said I'd post here "occasionally". No, not anymore - just too lazy. So, thinking of that, I thought it would be nice to link my twitter account here:

http://twitter.com/FernandoDANTE

I update it regularly, and would be very pleased to see some of you tracking me over there. I would also like to track you guys.

Anyway, a lot has changed in my life:

-First of all, the last time I posted here, I had a job at the Roads Department of my city, as a Law School intern. In October, I got fired from that job, seeing as there was really no need for me to be there - there were two interns, and almost no work to do, so they cut me. While the pay was good, I wasn't really learning anything there, so it turned out to be a good thing to get fired. The reason I say that is because, 20 days later, I got an intern position at a Law Firm;

-This new job at the Law Firm doesn't pay as well, but I am learning lots of things I wouldn't ever learn inside a ****oom. And that's the main thing to worry about when you are an intern: learning;

-I flunked one subject in College. Out of 160 sophomore students, 60 flunked on said subject;

-I was going to see Nine Inch Nailsin Brazil, but they canceled. Now, Radioheadare playing here in March, and I'm seeing them;

-I am totally hooked on Steam. Playing lots of Left 4 Dead and Team Fortress 2. If you wanna play some time, add me on Steam (username FernandoDANTE), we'll talk;

-I reviewed Bioshock! First review in just over 2 years. Wow, huh?

Cya later, Gamespotters!!!

PS: GameSpot still hasn't fixed the whole problem with the words "****" and "****"? That bug is, what, 3 years old? Way to go. I couldn't even link my review to Bioshock on this post. Just scroll down to the bottom of my profile and check it out.

I won't even try to apologize for taking so unbelievably long to update here. I said I'd be back soon, but I didn't do that. I know, I've been lazy. But the thing is, I don't have that much of a reason to post here anymore. As you know, I fell out of love with Gamespot after Jeff and Alex left the staff. Also, I started having more of a social life in College, which means I had more people to talk to. This led me to finding out one of the things I loved so much about this place: it was one of the best ways I could talk to people about things going on in my life. Now, I have the chance to do that in person, with many people. Of course I still like you guys, but the urge to write on this blog just isn't there anymore. Yes, I will post occasionally.

So, anyway, here's what's new:

1- I saw Muse live! I went to São Paulo on a bus ride with a bunch of other Muse fans, and it was a fantastic experience. The concert was awesome. Here's a video, and a couple of pics:

2- I had a great birthday today, with one of the best cakes I've had in my life. I got a nice watch from my uncle, and a trip to see Nine Inch Nails in October from my parents.

3- I'm going to see NIN live!!! Here's a sample of what I'll be seeing.

Well, I hope to see you guys soon. I'm not making any promises, but maybe this new look GS just got might be a reason to post here. OR, I could go to blogspot, something like that, and start over. Would you still follow my blog if I did that?

Cya later, Gamespotters!!!
