As you've probably noticed I've not been around much recently. There's lots of stuff going on right now and I feel like I need to take a break. I've been doing lots of shifts at work, college work and haven't got much time for Gamespot nowadays.
Braindead_hero's back is better but my dad replied to my email saying he's devastated with what I've said (about not seeing him anymore). I know I have all the right to be angry (especially since he STILL won't give me my trust fund after all that was said) but he is my dad at the end of the day and I hate hurting people so I feel terrible. I haven't replied - I don't think I can.
On a lighter note we've done a new podcast and I think it's the best one in a while - I was really in a podcast mood.
Me and Braindead_hero drew the winner of the competition today. I got a video clip of it on my phone (we used a random number generator on Shaun's calculator). It's uploaded to zSHARE (download only I'm afraid) if you wanna check it out.
(It sounded really loud when I played it but I dunno how loud your speakers are so I'd advise just turning them down a tad just in case! Oh and sorry about the crappy quality! And it's download only btw: I couldn't get it to work directly off zSHARE)
On a totally different subject I'm really glad Obama won, I just hope he lives up to the high expectations of him!
I don't know how long I'll be off Gamespot for but we'll continue to do podcasts and work on the site so keep checking back to:

Phew. I was really worried there that you were leaving forever. 
But, I'm glad to hear that you'll be back.

sorry about what is happening with your dad. Anyways the vid does sound crappy and loud, but that's cool
. And take as much time as you want.

From the title I thought like super_mario_128 did and thought you were leaving us for good! Hopefully we'll see you soon enough!

You scared me there. Enjoy your time away from GS and I hope you're doing well in college and at work. Happy Braindead_Hero is feeling better too.
About your father.. I know how you feel to not want to hurt anyone, sometimes you have to do it though. I hope you can work things out with him in even the slightest way. You should reply to his e-mail. Just say whatever comes to mind.

Glad to hear B_H is better (well, back-wise at least 
).
Nobody (in their right minds) enjoys hurting others, but you also need to do whatever necessary to ensure your own survival - there's no sense in maintaining a relationship that threatens one's mental (or physical) health. Just leave the whole paternal debacle as it stands - you've made your [justifiable] point, and if Dad won't come to the party, then he doesn't deserve an invite in the future! And who knows, he may eventually recognise the important things in life and try to redress the wrong.
Managed to get the vid, but no sound for me, so I've no idea who won
You're right - that was a great podcast - maybe you guys should do them from under the stairs more often! The general noise of school-life was an interesting background - I expected the Grange Hill theme song at any moment (although I did like the opening track - who was that?).
Fallout 3 - fantastic (even the PS3 version), but I agree with your observation - the gals do look like men, dipped in tea!
Bill Bailey's great, and random encounters with his material are only matched by the randomness of his material!
Concerning f@gs, I've committed the same slip of the tongue whilst in the States - thankfully it's only ever earned me a sidelong glance!
I've also been a little too busy (work) to bother with GS - that and the proliferation of uninformed political rants, and predominance of knee-jerk anti-socialist reactions. To be quite honest, it often appears that the paranoid fanaticism of the McCarthy era is still alive and well, and thriving in the hearts and minds [sic] of the American public.
Don't be strangers - come back and visit

We'll miss you. Take care and come back soon!

Real life is always more important than Gamespot...I'll miss you though!

We kinda share the same cruise ship (no, not a boat. Boats are meant for fishing and mediocre rowing) with the Dad thing - go with YOUR feelings and thoughts, it's the only right way, even if it may not seem so.
A break from Gamespot... I'm only using this opportunity to say hi and things! You do that!
Oh, and explore the vast possibilities regarding background noises on your pods. It could be made into a whole research paper!

Wha-wha-wha-what? AT least it's only temporary -- hope to see you back soon . Sorry things aren't going so well with your dad, but I'm sure you'll patch things up just fine. Good luck.
