Damn, I originally had a draft of this post that had me rambling about the closing of CGW, but that’s officially two weeks old. So, out with old content that never even got a chance to age. D’oh.
All I can offer up as an excuse is that I’ve been fairly busy lately.
This is the start of the E3 season. I hate how E3 has stretched from a week of gaming zaniness into a multi-month affair, with Editor’s Days that give you a preview of E3 shit, then the official Pre-E3 crap that’s going to hit in May (the hell? EA, Konami, Ubi, and Sega in the span of 3 days?!?!), and then the show itself. Blargh.
One nifty thing for recent times is that Dana and I hit up our old Ziff haunts for a “Very Special Episode of GFW Radio.” I pull a Jeff Green and retell that story about his slashed ear for the umpteenth time.
Funtimes were had at Karen and Patrick’s wedding. Caught up with various people, both those I haven’t seen in a while, and those that I saw a mere 36 hours earlier. Alanna was pretty well behaved, just a bit too enthusiastic with the photobooth. It was a bit weird that she totally got scared of the carousel. Also, the wedding was a chance for both Brad and I to finish off the Don’t Stop Believing sing-along that got cruelly cut off back in Vegas.
Though, at the time, to make up for shortened Journey in Vegas, we, along with the esteemed Jeff Gerstmann, ate at Fatburger at 4 in the morning. Man, I’ve always read Jeff’s stuff and did small talk with him at events, but actually sitting down at an ungodly hour while NOMNOMing on greasy-ass food and hearing crazy stories about Tom Byron and some fellow named Glenn was pretty awesome.
Speaking of that, I found a youtube of the best web animation in the universe. This is the animation that always cheers me up, even when stuff like CGW shutting down happened. I’m pretty sure this animation was made as some sort of post-9/11 therapy a week after the fact, I shit you not.
