This is a Blog

Seeing as how it’s been a while since I posted anything, I figured I would update this blog to remember things later on. Or something.

I haven’t said much because I haven’t been online all that much. When I’m not at work I’m normally playing video games or doing something with Mal, and it’s now a rarity to even see me on AIM. I know that’ll change when I get back to school, but it’s weird right now to think I’m not online very often.

Work has been going pretty good. The economy has definitely affected business, but there’s been $100+ nights (rare, but they’ve happened). It’s cool to think you can walk in at 4:30pm and walk out 5 hours later with over a hundred bucks in your pocket. The job is pretty easy and is mostly just being someone’s personal servant for 40 minutes (something some folks like to take advantage of).

I had a huge list of video games to play and beat this summer, but I also wanted Mal to play some of my favorites. She’s beaten Gears of War and Halo 3, Portal, New Super Mario Bros, and we’re almost finished with the first Phoenix Wright game. I normally don’t juggle so many games at once, but here’s my ‘now playing’ list: Fable 2, Gears of War 2, Phoenix Wright, Chrono Trigger DS, Pokémon Leaf Green, Sonic Unleashed, and a handful of other DS games. Tomorrow I’m going to pick up Wii Sports Resort, even though it’s mostly for my father.

Despite juggling so many games at once, I’m doing a pretty good job of keeping up with the stories of all of them. There’s a few other RPGs that I’d really like to start, but I know I can’t handle any more right now. I’m nearing the end of Phoenix Wright, then I’ll probably devote a good bit of attention to Fable 2. I’m also having Mal play through Half-Life 2, since that should really be a requirement for anyone who loves video games at all.

But, besides work and video games, there hasn’t been much going on. I had a Halo party for my high school graduating class again (it normally happens about twice a year or so), but I’m assuming that would fall under video games. Even so, the summer hasn’t seemed dull or boring at all, and I’m enjoying it to the fullest, especially since I’ve got Mal with me.

So there’s my update, internet. Keep on the lookout for more of that weekly Ninten Speaks stuff, since that’s the most you’ll be getting of Stephen Georg online until school starts. (And oh yeah, I also just released a new song about EarthBound—you can listen/download it here, but I’m sure it’ll show up on my site in another day or so).
