The Always Online rumor was debunked recently, thank God.http://kotaku.com/report-the-next-xbox-will-let-you-play-games-offline-493136979 I'm probably just gonna get both. I'll be damned if hardware gets in the way of me playing good games. PS3 and 360 each had their good and bad last gen, but I feel like this gen they'll be nearly identical, since they've had each other's mistakes to learn from over the past decade. Microsoft's always been better than Sony at software design/UX, but Sony's always been better than Microsoft at hardware design. It's probably gonna be a perfectly even split both ways this year. Unless Microsoft finds a way to royally screw it up. Which they tend to do with every good thing they've ever made.

It's been a while. I haven't really had a chance to catch up with most of the people here. I'm kind of curious what's changed with everyone since the time of AN. Its been almost a decade. I'll start off. I'm probably not too different from what I remember doing at AN. Remember way back when, when I made those silly little AMVs? That's my full-time career right now. I'm a professional digital media designer in the film industry, specializing in film editing (I have an IMDB profile! ), and got my first job in July, which I still have to this day. (In fact, I'm at work right now, procrastinating. I need to be designing DVD menus and subtitling interviews...)I don't think I've had more than a day off in the last three months. ; I got to work with some cool people because of my job. John de Lancie (Q from Star Trek, the dad from Assassin's Creed, Donald from Breaking Bad, etc.), Tara Strong (Bubbles from PPG, Timmy Turner from Fairly Oddparents, Harley Quinn in the Batman games) and Lauren Faust (writer/producer for Powerpuff Girls, Foster's Home, etc.) I moved out of my home and moved to Hollywood with a friend, who is now my roommate. She also happens to be a promising upstart in the anime voice acting business. We're anime buddies now. I spent 4 years in college and am no longer going to school. I can't really tell whether I'm actually a dropout or a graduate--I have two Associate's degrees for completing my general education (which took me four years to do, as opposed to the usual two), but no Bachelor's or Master's, so I never really quite completed my education. Never transferred into a university. School just wasn't working out for me, so I stopped going. *shrug* I also do a little bit of web design as a hobby, though I don't think I'll be doing it for much longer. I designed the website for a local LA convention last year. Still an avid video gamer. Not much on anime, though I do dabble occasionally if something piques my interest. Big fan of My Little Pony. So how about everyone else?

idk, my bff jill? Whatever works. Nick usually does the trick.

Hey everyone. Nicholas Ha (Takeru Yamamoto from way back when) checking in. Victor asked me to join, so here I am. =) My job's taking up a lot of my time right now, so I'll be posting sporadically. Hope to see you guys around more often!
