Well a bit late by a couple of days, but have a very merry New Year! (Especially to all those who will actually read this message) Hopefully the next year brings new opportunities and triumphs, or something to that effect.

Just a shorter entry this time around.

Well, the person has been found, although in a manner which seems to have caused a great deal of anguish for many individuals, especially for those closer to the situation at hand.

The body of Brandon Crisp was discovered on November 5th (with the identity confirmed over the weekend) at the base of a tree between the 4th and 5th Oro Lines, an area just north east of Barrie Ontario. (Which is to the north of Toronto) Reports indicate that the cause of his end rests in trauma to the chest, possibly brought on through a fall from a tree. Police are currently undergoing further investigation to discover what occured between the last sighting and his end, along with the construction of a timeline.

It appears there was no video game involvement in the event after all, outside of the initial altercation. However, the situation itself didn't have an ideal result given the end of the fellow in question.

Speaking of questions, quite a few remain... But will answers be found? Would it even matter?

Gee, my first blog post on GameSpot in a great deal of time and its in regards to a topic such as this... Although highly unlikely, (I'm not even sure if anyone will read this, considering my lack of activity on GameSpot over the last year or so) but has anyone seen or have any information on this guy?

Yeah, normally I'd try to stay away from these sorts of things but...

Maybe I've grown soft.

Well, now I'm off to consume some Ice Cream.

It is Done.

Union leadership has been changed.

I have also realized my writing has decreased greatly in quality ever since my academic adventures began once again... Somewhat ironic really.

Only 4 more stars to go in Super Mario Galaxy.

An epic tale of strategy and war, the Fire Emblem series is a rather intriguing strategy role playing game. Different from most games, the characters that appear throughout the adventure are each unique and add his or her own respective tale to the main storyline despite the sense of finality provided when a character runs out of hit points. Upon the loss of said life points, most characters meet their end so to speak, creating a layer of intensity that is rarely seen in others games belonging to the same genre. To say I have become fond of the series would be a rather massive understatement.

It is certainly a shame the games are so difficult to come by, literally becoming a quest in itself. I still hope to attain Fire Emblem 7 along with Path of Radiance, preferably before Goddess of Dawn is released in North America.
