GAMES: GameSpot GameFAQs MOVIES: Metacritic Movietome Comic-Con
Tuesday, Aug 18, 2009

Well, I used to be super super active on Gamespot, commenting on people's blogs all the time, writing reviews, checking the forums, etc., but ever since my birthday several things have happened that have definitely taken up my time.

The first was a very wonderful birthday weekend of relaxation, friends, girlfriend, Metal Gear Solid 3, and food.

Second, things at work got very very hectic, and that with getting ready for school and being with family and spending time with friends and stuff was keeping me busy.

Third, I ended up getting let go because my stupid korean boss needed someone full time instead of part time and told me five minutes before the end of my shift that it was my last day, they had someone to take my place, and they'd send me my check in the mail. That sucked.

Fourth, because of that, ever since then I've been frantically trying to get a job, getting ready for school starting next week, making calls, filing out applications, doing resumes, scheduling scheduling scheduling, and organizing and figuring things out.

So I apologize for just going away and not being very active, and I don't want anyone thinking I was just ignoring them or leaving Gamespot, I've just been very very busy finalizing things for school financially and trying to get a job. I'll try to be on more and comment as much as I can on everybody's blogs!

I know what its like being laid off. I was working for the same company for 1 and half years and out of no where they let me go and now I have been unemplyed for the last 5 months. I have been trying to find a job too, no one wants part timers anymore.

Good luck with the job hunt, I can understand a major lapse in activity because of that.

Also gamespot kind of sucks now . So I don't blame you for being gone.

Don't worry much about it, I've been taking some time off from here as well. I'm back and more active considering the last two weeks I only got on each day to check my profile.

I'm in the same boat as the part timers so I understand. I haven't been active much lately either.

As sad as it may sound that people can't be on Gamespot as much at certain points, it's good that they're at least doing stuff with their lives than just sitting around all the time. So I understand, and it's all cool.

Never apologize for having a life man. I totally understand.

It's understandable why you haven't been on Gamespot lately and there's really no need to apologize You can't let this site control your life after all. It's really unfortunate about your job, I hope that everything works out for you in the end!
