No, I'm not dead and yes I still visit Destructoid. Normally the summer months seem to be the time of the year were there aren't a ton of great games being pumped out left and right, so you'd in theory think that I'd be posting more around here instead of less. Well, I specifically use the summer time to catch up on a lot of games I may have missed out for a while. Oh, and there was that whole new computer I bought that got me back into PC gaming a little bit. Yeah, that's sort of taken up a shitload of my time lately. Besides that I also just don't check Destructoid that much when I'm not at home anymore (aka at work) because my job's virus scanners seem to pick up any little bit of shit that come form Dtoid's banner adds all the fucking time. So, let me catch ya'll up on stuff for me.

1- Team Fortress 2 fucking rules... for PC that is

And now every time a bunch of animals are together it's called a zoo!... Unless its a farm!

Yeah, I wasn't that big of a fan of TF2 for a while but it was due to the 360 version leaving a rather terrible taste in my mouth. However The Orange Box was one of my first purchases once I got Steam up and running on my new PC (and whored out my friends internet bandwidth in the process, bwhahaha) and I must say, hot damn it's a fun game. I'm traditionally a sniper or a spy, they're both super fun (my Steam account is SephirothDZX for anybody interested)

2- Fight Night Round 4 is fun, holy shit it's really fun

Thanks to the 'upload your face' feature, I know what I look like after an angry man beats me up for 12 rounds

Most of you who know me probably didn't see this coming. I rented a copy of Fight Night Round 4 a few days after it was released because I had a mild interest in the game despite never playing a Fight Night title before nor being anything close to a fan of the modern age of professional boxing. After having the game for two days I immediately hauled my ass to Gamestop and picked up a copy because I simply can't put the game down. This game is my "I can't believe how fucking much I absolutely love this game" title of 2009 thus far, basically it's my personal surprise hit. Upon introducing this game to my friends the game took off like a wildfire and it's become one of the main event games of our gaming parties. Hell, here's how much all of is are in to the game right now... we bought a $10 WWE championship belt and use that as our World Heavyweight Championship belt to determine the best boxer out of our group (I'm the reigning champ, my second time holding the belt).

3- Commanding, Supremely

Big robots... Mmm... Big robots

Alongside Fight Night, Supreme Commander has had a renaissance amongst my main friends in terms of active played games. Since I obviously lacked a PC that could run the title sufficiently up until recently I missed out on the initial release of Supreme Commander, which disappointed me since it's the spiritual sequel to the best RTS ever made. I've caught up on lost time though and I don't care what anyone says, Supreme Commander is still top-of-the-line for RTS games.

4- Trying to build upon my social life

When doing a Google image search for 'no social life' this is what you get!

Given the town I live in this has been a lost cause, oh well. I've been actively trying to go out and actually do shit like get a girlfriend and what not. Unfortunately this has been going nowhere fast and women around here are kind of undesirable for the most part. So, it ends up bringing me back here to good old Destructoid where I see constant barrages of awesome... followed by a Hoborg blog.

Hopefully I'll put up more blogs soon, I have stuff I actually really want to talk about again!
