Wow, wow, and more wow. It's hard to believe this, but I'm 22 years old as of today. To think that I've been on this earth for that long... well, I'm blessed. It's still pretty early, and I can't say I have too many thoughts about it all, but I do intend on making this upcoming year in my life better than the last one, provided I'm still living long enough to see it. It's about pushing forward and trying to improve myself in whatever way I can. I'd like to thank everyone for the support that you've given me and such. I don't know any of you personally, but nevertheless, I'm pleased with some of the connections I've made.

Provided I find that push to do so, I'll be making a special game review as my way of celebrating the day. In fact, this should have been a game I reviewed AGES ago, but never got around to it. As for what game that is? Well, I won't be spilling those beans, but if you look around hard enough, you might find out. Anyways, I've nothing more to say here. Thanks for reading!

Before I begin, I love this track! Sonic 2 = Win!

Well, with this tune playing and the joys of this and the various other Sonic 2 zones playing in my head, I begin this latest blog entry. Anyways, while part of what I'll be talking about doesn't go back quite as far to the days of playing this excellent platformer, this does have something to do with older games. In general, something cool that happens everytime I pick up a new game is that after I'm done with it, I start to enjoy my older games more than I did before getting the new game. I believe I may have touched on this in the past, but after beating A Boy and His Blob, my other games suddenly look a bit more engaging. Lately, I've been playing games like Mario Kart Wii (FINALLY hit the 9000 point mark online in that game) and SSBB, and my interests in picking up a few of my older games on other systems exist again. It's funny... I think I look forward to getting new games because of this about as much as playing the new game itself at times.

In other news, shoryuken_ tagged me a while back, so I'm taking the time now (at 3:06 AM at the time of typing this, mind you) to share a few facts about myself. Quite frankly, this isn't my favorite thing to do by a mile, but I do try to honor these playful tag games to some degree. So... yeah... here goes:

1. I'm a HUGE basketball fan. In fact, I can't wait for the NBA season to kick off. Wait a sec, that's tonight! Awesomesauce!

2. I've never had a 'significant other,' and I don't intend on having one in the very immeadiate future. It's my mission to establish my own life before I add someone else into the picture. But, as you know, things happen...

3. For as long as I can remember, I've been able to bend one of my fingers to the back of my hand. It used to be a pretty popular thing back in elementary school, actually, and to this day, I can do it with not that much pain. Probably shouldn't be telling you guys this, but blame shoryuken_.

4. My favorite fruit are apples. In fact, I can eat apples with just about anything. Apparently, I've always been like this, though, ever since I was crazy about apple sauce baby food.

5. A few months back, I was actually recruited by the NAVY, and I took a bit of interest to it. I got an ASDAB test score that was apparently almost 50 points over the passing grade (and on top of that, I'm almost five years out of high school). I didn't commit to the NAVY, however, as I feel as though it's not what I'm looking for in my life, but the experience itself gave me confidence that I still have something special inside of me.

And one more thing. You guys are probably aware of this now, but I just wanted to let my readers know of my A Boy and His Blob review. I wouldn't be talking about this, but I was encouraged by a fellow Gamespotter that maybe I should make it aware that I posted the review in my next blog entry, so here it is. I can't believe it's actually the first player review of the game on the site, as I'm usually quite late and lazy when it comes to such things. Personally speaking, I don't think it's my best review, but I'll let you guys be the judge of that. Let me know what you think, in fact!

Well, that's all for now, I suppose. Thanks for reading. Peace!

This will be VERY short and to the point.

This is the topic.

This is my response.

That is all.
