Just wanted to say hi since I haven't posted in awhile. I just came back from a trip to the East Coast and several Asian countries. I bought lots of gaming stuff while I was in Japan and Hong Kong since I won't be there again for a long time. I got an Ice Blue DS, Blue PSP and a couple of PS3/PSP/NDS games. The 360 games were super cheap but I didn't get any since they won't play on a US machine. For example, Forza 2 only costs $35 in Hong Kong!

My trip almost got ruined though by a scam retailer in HK. I fully pre-paid for a Virtua Stick High Grade which I was supposed to get the next day. Instead the guy tried to pass off the Hori Fighting Stick 3 as a VS:HG. I had to restrain myself from kicking his ass. He pretended it was a mistake even though it was obvious that he knew what a VS:HG is. After much bargaining, I finally forced him to give me the PS3 Gaiden to make up for the price difference. In the end, I wasn't able to obtain a VS:HG , which was one of my most wanted items,since I had to come back to the States.

Still, it was a really fun trip and it was especially enjoyable because it will be my last vacation for a very long time. I hope that everyone else is having a fun summer.

I'm on summer vacation, I don't go back to work until August 20th. I still get paid, though.

Summer has been pretty awesome so far.

It was great until two weeks ago when the gf went off to Europe for 7 weeks, and my best friend went off to work on a cruise ship.

Now I'm in my small rural town with almost no friends around and little to do. No job either atm.

also, wtf man I'm feeling this with you, what a goddamn asscumer this guy was... this shit's like an holy relic of gaming, when one's laid his filthy hands on a Virtua Stick, he wouldn't ever consider making hands contact with any other stick

Don't go to california if you're not going to be in the bay area. It's pretty crappy in L.A. and everything else is a farm. With lots of cows.

It's good, better than the last few ones at least. Lots of partying in people's backyards and stuff. Gonna see Armin a week from Fri, and Tiesto the week after, which is gonna be awesome.

Tauntaun · « **Reply #30 on:** July 03, 2007, 10:10:27 AM »

Summer while working a job means it's hot out when you go to work. But as for events that are happening during this time I'm going to see Necrophagist in NYC on Sunday

and I'll be seeing Muse on Aug 6th with mah woman and I'll be able to meet mupupu and cajolejuice.

Then the week after that I'll be on vacation in Cape Cod with the family. I'm also going to try and find more concerts to go to with my best friend from high school.

Terrible. I am very sad because I have finally realised I don´t like single player games anymore. I am sick of them. I have bought a few critically acclaimed titles and I have hated them all.

My 360 is doomed.

I hate my job.

I am still virgin.

I caught a cold yesterday.

I want to commit suicide. I can´t take this shit anymore.

Not bad. I've been going to gym everyday after work, swimming and lifting weights. My goal is to lose 20 pounds. I've lost 5 so far. I've been gaming but not too much. I've been playing Stardust HD, Super Paper Mario, and Crackdown of late. I actually took a couple months off culinary school, which I was going to part time in the weekends. Working full-time and going to school part-time really kills your social life, but I only have one more year to go. I needed to have my summer weekends. I'm looking forward to cooking more, checking out more restaurants, cycling, going the beach, and chilling with friends. I'm on vacation next week too. Woo hoo. Summer is so awesome.

well it's in driving distance. A really long, boring drive but it's possible to drive there. I think it takes 3 hours to get from fremont to sacramento by BART.

every week is 4 days of cramming chemistry, and 2 days of the super-stress job. my one day feels so weird sometimes that i start working on other things when it comes around... just because it feels weird NOT to work.

or I play Phantasy Star Universe lately..

I graduated high school and didnt keep any friends after graduation; I'll never talk to them again and I can't say I'm upset. Sure I don't hang out with anyone, but I work Friday + Saturdays answering phones at a train station here in NH, with hot girls in the room talking about how they have sex all the time, and it's the greatest thing in the world. Plus, everytime I come close to saving enough money for a MacBook I blow it on DVD's or games. That sucks. But regardless, no sex, I contemplated a escort but eh I can wait. I start college in September and this has been one of the best most relaxing summers in a while. NO motivation to do anything, don't have to put up with "friends" and it's just awesome.
