Hey all, back from Anime Expo 2009 at the L.A. Convention Center over the July 4th weekend. It was pretty fun, the weather in L.A. was amazing.

The convention was cool, nothing too specific or special I really did. We mostly just walked around, looked at things, bought stuff, got free junk and took pictures. I went with 6 other people, all stuck in the same hotel room. That was fun lol. I didn't take as many pictures as I could have or as many as I did last year.

Thanks

Hello there,

I realize I haven't been on here in AGES. I still follow video games, but I spend most of my time over at Giantbomb.com, it's a great website and everyone who likes games should check it out.

So I'm in the summer after my first year as a college student. It's been a very interesting and confusing trip. I'm really enjoying my time in college thus far, much better than high school in my opinion. I've joined CKI (Circle K International) the college counterpart of KEY club in high school. I've also taken up table tennis as an active hobby of mine, and I plan on joining the table tennis club when I start again next semester. I'm having a lot of fun, which is great.

Now, in a few days I'll be heading to LA for Anime Expo over the July 4th weekend. It's funny because my last blog post here was for AX last year. I'm going to be going for my 2nd year now and I'm looking forward to it. It should be a mess of fun and I'll be sure to post pictures and describe the adventure when I get back. (Even though there will most likely be no one reading this.)

Thanks!!

Hey! Well I'm back from LA and the Anime Expo! It was really cool, I had a great time. I was situated at my friend's brother's apartment across the street from little Tokyo, which was awesome. The convention was four days long and we went to all four days.

The convention was freakin' HUGE, there was over 25,000 people attending the expo. There was lines for EVERYTHING. We saw a mess of cosplayers; some were really really good, and some not so good. Well it's safe to say we saw some rather interesting people at the convention

Hmm what else? Well I got an autograph from the man who voiced Snake in the Metal Gear series: David Hayter!! The line was ridiculous, but we got up pretty early to wait in line. Two years ago, at Anime Vegas '06 I also got an autograph of the man who voiced Raiden from Metal Gear Solid. So now I have the signatures of both of the leading characters in MGS!!!

Well I'm back now, with a lot of crap that I bought lol.

Why hello there. So Tomorrow I'm going to be heading to L.A. (if you didn't know, I live in Las Vegas ) I'm going to be driving over there with four of my friends, and we're going to be staying at my friend's older brother's place the entire time. I'm going to be gone from the 2nd to the 6th. The main reason we're heading over there is to attend Anime Expo '08. This is going to be much larger than Anime Vegas which I've attended for the last two years. I'm very excited to be attending this event.

We don't really have any plans for the convention, we're just going to wing it) People such as David Hayter (the voice actor for Snake in the Metal Gear Solid series are going to be there.

Well I'll see you guys later I'll be sure to write about all of my crazy escapades

Well well, I haven't been here in a while have I? Well actually I regularly visit GS for game news and what not, but I don't really partake in the community at all.

I guess I've just been busy with life you know? I started my GScapades three summers ago mostly because I really had nothing to do, but then I got really into it, and I'm glad I did. Sounds funky, but there were a lot of good times and interesting people met on my time on this site. I actually met a really good friend (with the same birthday as me =P ) who I haven't been really talking to much, but I'll never forget that person, she'll always be in the corner of my mind, inexorably kicking me in the face.

I apologize for my frequent absence, but I have too many things to do. Don't worry though, Gamespot is still and will be bookmarked and I will visit every now and then, maybe to read and comment a blog or two.

Well I still remember how I used to write blogs, and I guess I'll be seeing you around.
