Glad to have been missed! And I'm still enjoying TR!

I really like the concept of AC, I just don't like how it more or less forces you to play every day. I hate coming back to find my town empty. my house full of roaches, all my flowers dead, and weeds growing in their place just because I took a break from the game. That, and Tom Nook reminded me too much of my former real-life landlord who kept jacking up the rent on a tiny apartment with only four rooms - 1 bedroom, a living room, a kitchen that wasn't quite six feet wide, and a bathroom where I could sit on the toilet, stick my feet in the shower and brush my teeth in the sink all at the same time. I have a smaller living space now, but it's a cottage, I'm also paying half what he was charging us, with heat and electric thrown in, and my current landlady is much nicer.

Ugh, I know all about moving! Good luck with it, and I'll make a blood sacrifice to the moving gods for you so that nothing gets broken or lost.

He's been pretty quiet on Facebook, too. Might have to go hunt him down again...

Larry, it's all your fault! I now have another long list of artists that I need to invest in, lol.

It's funny, when I buy music at Bull Moose, it's frequently either folk, punk, or both at once. The employees there don't even bat an eyelash anymore.

One of the few reasons I'd contemplate getting a 3DS for.

No energy for blogging, Peter, sorry! It's amazing what getting a full crew onboard will do, though! This is one of the first "weekends" in a while where I wasn't frantic about something that didn't get done at the park when it was supposed to.

Yeah, I've been worried about you and Andrew, pretty much the only two people I know in Oklahoma, but I'm pretty fond of you both!

Are you on Facebook?

Thanks, Matt! I've missed you guys, too.

I never cared for the original TR games on PS1, but this reboot has me thinking I may give them another chance. I still may not like them, I loathe the character model.

I don't think I managed to get any wildlife pics, but I do have lots of pretty wildflowers. They're much easier to photograph - they don't run off before you can get the camera focused, lol.

Aw, shucks. Thanks!

I'm really enjoying TR, but I have to warn you that it's full of QTEs, and sometimes you don't get enough of a cue before your window of opportunity is up. It's caused a couple of cheap deaths, but nothing approaching controller-throwing rage. The story has me wanting to know what's going to happen next, and there's a lot of exploring within the maps. There's also quite a bit of hand-holding, which annoys some people. I do wish they gave you the option to turn off the in-game tutorial, but I can live with it.

I've only played the first Professor Layton game, but I've been wanting more in the series for quite a while. My poor DS has been suffering some serious neglect lately. Hoping to give it some more love soon.

As for Blazing Dragons, I may boot it up in the PS3 just to see what it's like. I just couldn't help myself, had to have it!
