Apologies Where Apologies is Due, or How Am I Like The Monument to Party Foundation?
BonfireAg03 | 10:24 PM on 08.04.2008 5 comments


Answer: We're both massive tools.

First, I need to apologize to everyone that attended the Texas NARP two weeks ago for my lack of attendance on Saturday and Sunday. School and work kept me locked in the house all day Saturday, so I wasn't able to escape to join the festivities. Unfortunately my phone has been on the blink, so if anyone tried to call me that weekend (Coonskin?), I did not receive it, and I was also not able to make calls. Sorry I missed it guys, and I did enjoy meeting y'all on Friday night. I've never been part of a community that I have been able to sit around for hours at a time discussing games, and no one bats an eyelash. I had a great time hanging out with y'all, and wish I could make it to PAX so that I could meet the rest of the community. I so wanted to introduce several of you to the wonders of Texas beverages. Next year, my friends. Next year.

Also, apologies to the FNF crew for missing out this past weekend. 360 #3 has decided to crap out on me the Saturday of TXNARP. No RROD this time, however. This time, it was the video output that quit. It's on its way to Vatican City to be exorcised as we speak. In the meantime, I have procured my little brother's 360 for my personal use, so I should be able to attend.

Its all good meng. Yeah, I did try to get a hold of you a couple of times Saturday, but Friday you said you had that schoolwork due so I figured that was what was up.

You really didn't miss anything though, as Saturday was really lowkey, as in, more lowkey than Friday night. And you definitely didn't miss anything Sunday, as Blehman was the last to leave, at a whopping 10 am. So it was all good. Friday night was definitely fun though.

Yes, Friday night was fun. Has anyone changed their number after that night? Oh, and I'm bringing my sticks from now on when we play Rock Band at your place.

By "really lowkey" they mean that they were giant vaginas after the life of the party left (ME!!). Drunken phone calls and trying to figure out what the fuck is up with PixelJunk Eden was pretty fun though.

No, by "really lowkey" he meant I was the only one drinking Saturday.

@Counting: Yeah, they were...interesting. I enjoyed your Hetfield impersonation, by the way.

@Blehman: No, I was drinking Saturday. By myself. While working on school.

 about me

I swear, I think I've been playing video games since before I could walk. I remember helping my dad play text-based games on our PC, which evolved into me playing King's Quest on my own. That led to an Atari 2600, and like a junkie, I've been coming back for a bigger fix ever since. Today it's the 360. I'll give pretty much anything a chance, but my favorite games are those with an involved story. I've never been able to get into sports games very much because of the lack of story, although strangely enough, I love Burnout, and that doesn't even try to have a story.
