And here we are again.
So I'm back in Ohio, and have been for some time. The move went fine, though we got some water damage on some of my stuff. Megan and I are actually living with my mom for now, and it's working out ok. Seems strange to be living at home being 28, but given the circumstances... It's been a nice mutally beneficial arrangement, as we all just pitch in on everything. It's good for my mom to have us around both emotionally and financially, and the reverse is also true.
My job, which I got right after coming out here, is stressful, so I won't go into that. It's at least in the same industry that I was in before (card/board games), so that's nice.
I've been starting to get back into music games & RPGs lately, which is kinda funny as I didn't do much with them for quite some time (after all, my gaming has tended to be the non-video type, as that is the industry I'm working in) after being so very into them for so long. Guitar Hero was worth every penny, though now I'm aching to play Drummania again. And of course my Drummania controller was in the box that never arrived from Japan. I got a rather pricey replacement 3rd-party controller, but it's somewhere between horrid and acceptable (more towards the horrid end, but it's better than nothing). And of course it doesn't help that I go and find things like this on Yahoo Japan Auctions. 980 yen, no bids. And of course, it's pretty much a controller only (if I'm gleaning info from the description correctly), which is exactly what I need, as I have the stand, sticks, bass pedal, game, and box. Konami is going to do another production run, but it's looking like getting one here to the states will run somewhere around $100. Bleh.
And, that's pretty much that for now. I just hope that the next few weeks go decently, given the fact that this Christmas will be very much unlike any other...
