I'm only 'mostly dead'! |

Soooooooooo, my first entry in over two years.
Sup GFF. It's been a while.
I took a two year sabbatical from life. Fun stuff. I don't plan to divulge too much about my time away other than it was a fascinating change of pace for me. I'd like to think I have a cooler head, and not quite so uptight about shit.
I've moved from southern Florida to southern California, which has been surprisingly smooth, although most of my "stuff" (Most of my older games and movies) remains at my dad's house in Florida. My apartment is too small to accommodate my entire collection right now, so I'm keeping things "light".
I've actually been in a more "normal" setting for about 6 months now, with regular access to the internet, and as such have been popping in on GFF every once and a while, but not really posting anything. I'm debating if I want to make a self-serving welcome back thread or not, but I might just start showing back up in #gfchat again or something (Assuming it's still up. I haven't checked yet.)
I'm currently training to take the CompTIA A+ Cert, and will probably follow it up with a N+, Security+ and possibly a CCNA cert as well. I'm not sure if I want to be a computer technician, but it'll make me money while I figure things out (Which I still have not done, despite my "break").
I'm still playing games and watching movies and such, with my most recent conquest being the incredible Mass Effect 2. I'm currently working on Brutal Legend (Which, as a metal fan, I think is really goddamn awesome), and after that I'm tackling Fable 2 and Bioshock 2.
Other games I've beat during my time away from GFF include Fallout 3, Dragon Age: Origins, Final Fantasy VII: Crisis Core, and God of War: Chains of Olympus.
I have a PS3 now, and have a decent Blu-ray collection (Although it's still not as big as my HD-DVD collection), but surprisingly few PS3 games. Admittedly, most of the exclusives that I want haven't dropped in price yet to where I can afford them, and most non-exclusives I want on the 360 (Only two games come to mind that I want on PS3 instead - Batman: AA and Final Fantasy XIII. I think Red Dead Redemption had something extra for PS3 players too, but I'm not sure).
Not sure what else I should say. I'm getting close to saying too much at this point I think. Time will tell how involved with GFF I get this time around, but at this point I don't plan on giving up on the website I've visited for over eight years now, longer than any site I've used other than Yahoo, Google, and IGN.
It's good to be back.
