Regarding Sony's PlayStation briefing tonight (or Feb 20), I discuss my own history with the brand.

A bit belated in my part but here are my nominees/winners.

NOTE: My new blog home is still WordPress however I continue to visit tracked GS blogs whenever possible. I'll make some exceptions here and there despite the blog transition.

Lastly, if anyone wants to follow me/keep in touch via Twitter, feel free to do so.

GAMES CURRENTLY PLAYING: Xenoblade Chronicles, Dark Souls, Tetris (Game Boy), Nier

First of all, this isn't a "I'm coming back to blog on GS again" blog but more of an extended edition of the near three-month old blog I posted. (To anyone who spotted the reference from the previous sentence wins a cookie or something, I don't know.)

To clarify (for those unaware), I didn't leave because of the current comment system or the other glitches in particular (believe me, I lived with them since 2006). It's more to do with moving on to other things since then. In fact, I'm about to (finally!) fulfill one of them.

It's also gotten me thinking too. I still read the tracked blogs whenever the chance though I was a bit careless breaking off communication altogether. With that, if I have anything to contribute to said followed blogs, I'll keep in touch when possible.

And again, for those interested in my ongoing blogging shenanigans and tweeting misadventures and what have you, refer to the previous post for the direct links.

Decisions like these have never been meant to be easy. Given of the countless bugs and other issues, not to mention my lack in activity in the past several months (my apologies to those whom I was unable to read said blogs due to this), I've planned to part ways from GameSpot since last fall. And today is that day, unfortunately.

I began using GS back in July 2006 under my previous account Aashkii (couldn't come up with a "cool" username back then). It wasn't until October that year that I found the handle I wanted to define myself by and in September 2007 (and since then) I relied on the "successor" account some of you stood by since then. However, the problems with the blog editor, the constant bugs, and most notably the new comments system has affected the fundamentals I once had, well most notably my heydays on the site.

In the past year I used other means of communication and a handful of my GS friends have used those other means due to their own difficulties here. Don't get me wrong, the GS community is still great. It's just that the constant "patch jobs" and technical issues have hindered the experience, slowly drifting my interest further and further down the road.

Today indeed marks an end of an era for me on here. After over five years of blogging, discussions, making new acquaintances, laughs, sighs, and above all else memories: I bid au revoir. However, if you still want to be in touch, I'm more than welcome for you to do so:

WordPress - My current blog site where I discuss whatever comes to mind. Gaming, comics, coffee, and other stuff. Self-explanatory if you think about it.

Twitter - I'm active on here and I tweet things and other stuff. (If my username ever changes, you can always access the Twitter link on my WordPress blog.)

deviantART - For those of you into art or anything of that sort.

Backloggery - If you want to know what games I'm currently playing (and of course keeping in touch), there you go.

(A direct link to my Twitter is here as well, in case I ever change my username.)

If you want to add me on PSN, 3DS, Steam, iOS GameCenter, and Skype: Send me a PM on Backloggery or a DM on Twitter (if you want).

And that's pretty much it. So with that, See Ya.

And Thank You.

Forget about Assassin's Creed III.

This is gaming at its core, at its finest. That is all.

My latest WP Blog in summary focuses less on BioWare, its fanbase, and the game itself; and instead more over what I learned from the recent headlines surrounding all of this. For the record, I'm not in defense of one or the other. I'm basically stating my honest opinion on the topic in question.

I plan on buying ME3 regardless of these and I won't be buying it for the sake of BioWare or the fanbase or the events surrounding its launch and onward. I'm doing it solely for Garrus cause you know, I likes alien cats :3

In other news, I wonder what this upcoming Dark Souls announcement is all about...

6h05tly

I ordered Rayman Origins... For PS3, because having to wait until June for the 3DS port (or waiting for this version in general) is far too long for me to play this underrappreciated platformer I've longing to grab my hands on since its reveal years ago. So to 3DS users who are eager to play it, wait just a little longer. Too bad I won't experience the 3D effects with my own eyes I guess. Oh well.

In other news, I'm still waiting for Beyond Good & Evil 2. So um, yeah.

Summary: Just a short blog about what I've been up to lately. Nothing special.

I'm expecting to receive my pre-order of Journey via PSN this week (yeah, I don't have a PS+ account and I'm still not interestd in upgrading). I won't be able to play much of the game until early April (I also plan on grabbing a copy of SSX and Crush3D around that time).

I may consider Journey's co-op mode, but may pass it up and play the game solo. I heard a lot of great things about the game in the past week, making me more enthusiastic over thatgamecompany's latest title. (After all, Flower is one of my all-time favorite PSN games.)

I made a comic. Hope the blog title makes sense to you now.

Happy Spring Break to whoever has it this week

Guess what? I'm posting this here instead of "there" cause I wuv yous. In other words, it's a freebie or whatever you like to call it :3

Gaming-wise, I'll be sticking to my portables because it would be irresponsible of me to take my PS3 and any of my other consoles on-the-go (and it would be a pain carrying them around, especially when I have to be out of town or something).

But in all seriousness, it's due to academic reasons. Below are the games I have in mind:

Nintendo DS/3DS

• Pushmo
• 10 Second Run
• Donkey Kong '94
• Mario vs. Donkey Kong
• Kirby's Dream Land (Hard Mode)
• Wario Land 4
• Kirby & The Amazing Mirror
• WarioWare Inc.

iPhone/iOS

• Ghost Trick
• Myst
• LostWinds
• League of Evil

I wrote this poem today. And yes, it's complicated at the moment. (referring to the poem I mean.)

Since Valentine's Day can be a hit or miss for some of us, hopefully this JSRF tune will cheer some of you up.

Until then, Happy Valentine's Day.
