Apologies And Updates
Namakubi \| 3:52 AM on 05.18.2009	3 comments

I apologize, I flaked out on Ninja Month. In fact, I flaked out on updating this blog in general for a month and a half, and for that, to anyone who cares, I'm sorry. My work schedule wouldn't permit me the time to update a semi-regular blog for a while (working till mid-night some nights kills your energy, y'know?).

If I could roll back time and fix that, I would. But I can't, so let's sweep everything under the rug and start fresh, shall we.

Now, first order of business that came about since my hiatus: I got a Famicom!

Yes, it's the Japanese NES, and it's totally amazing. I'm having a lot of fun discovering great games that never made it to the U.S. in the NES's heyday. I'm now waiting on a Sharp Twin Famicom (It's both a Famicom and Disk System in one) that I ordered from a guy in Sweden.

Second order of business:

I got my tickets to PAX! I had a lot of fun last year, and hopefully this year will be no different. If anybody wants to meet up, drop me a line in the comments, etc.

So with this out of the way, I hope to start back up on this blog and keep delivering columns about awesome shit. Thank you all for understanding.

I was bummed about the lack of Ninja Month blogs...
But they did encourage me to pick up the awesome Hagane!

Nice collection of NES games, Namakubi. I wish N/A NES games were pretty colours too.

And ya, I'm going to PAX, we should hang out. I'll see you sometime over the weekend anyway.
