Anybody Out There?

Wuzz Upppp?!!? I can't believe I haven't updated this blog since July. I can't believe people still visit, I just checked and there's 60 people a day who come by. That's great! I also know that some of you were kind enough to move on over to my new site with me. Thanks! Ready to hear my excuse for being a bad As the Gaming World Turns blogger? I've been busy - very, very, very busy. I started working for GamePro at the start of the year and after taking over as editor of GamePro Arcade (shameless plug), this poor sight has been neglected worse than one of Britney Spears kids.
.
So what exactly have I been doing that's keeping me so busy? How can a site dedicated to Arcade games be that taxing? You'd be surprised. Besides reviews, there have been plenty of interviews, contests (you really need to check this out, I give away stuff all the time), news on DLC and upcoming games and op-ed pieces when I find the time. Its a ton of work. I even have two college interns who help me out.
.
I do miss this blog though. I don't get to cover console games as often as I used to. Which brings me to a question - has anyone else been overwhelmed with all the great games that have come out lately? Between Fable 2, Dead Space and the recently released Fallout 3, there's just not enough time in the day. Its forced me to put some decent games (Saints Row 2, Force Unleashed, FIFA 09, LEGO Batman, among others) on the backburner. And some of the biggest titles (Call of Duty: World at War, Gears of War 2) haven't even come out yet? Gah! Looks like I need a 2 month vacation, just to play games.

If there's anything you want to share, have at it. Feel free to post a comment. I'm going to try and check back in more frequently. And if you don't feel like commenting, that's cool. I hope you can join me on GamePro Arcade. Stay in touch!
