Well. Damn. I got caught in the layoffs too, I'm afraid. Had a good run though, yeah?

This is my Mom and me. She passed away a couple weeks ago. We had a complicated relationship and had some unresolved bullshit. Hold 'em close and talk stuff out. Find a middle ground. Because you never know...

To clear up some confusion, yes, I was in the hospital the past couple weeks. I had an infection in my toe which I let go too long and it got real bad and had to be amputated. I'm technically less of a man, but am back at work again. Still at Giant Bomb. Hoping to catch a break.

I've had neuropathy in my hands for some time, but it's finally at a point where it's pretty much taken away my ability to enjoy fighting games. Especially if I have to use a pad. I'm just gutted. This sucks so much. Sorry for the "woe is me" tweet. I just had to vent.

Exhausted, starving, the weathered man orders a burrito bowl. In his beleaguered state, he neglects to fetch any eating utensils.
Back at the hotel room, the man is found shoving fistfuls of burrito bowl into his mouth as he clacks away at his personal computer.

One of the coping methods I had for losing my job was to restart and play about 50-some hours of Monster Hunter Rise and get farther than I did in my 100-hr playthrough. It was just what I needed.

Still looking for a good Day Job! I've got 10+ years in the gaming media industry and have worn several hats. A/V production and content hosting primarily, but willing to branch out. Must be full-time and remote or local to Atlanta. Snatch me up! DMs open.

I got super ill last week (pancreatitis) and after a hospital stay and recovery that's going to take a while, I'm unable to finish up my GOTY stuff for GB this year. I'll try and get something out before year's end, but it's going to take a bit. Sorry! Back to the pain pills!

3rd hospital stay in as many months. Diabetic Gastroparesis (they think) this time. Been here since Saturday - had to miss Halloween and postpone my kid's party. About to be discharged soon though so maybe NOW things will settle down? What a year.

Gotta tell ya, it's nice to finally hear from a specialist doctor, "you're doing great. I don't have to see you for 6 months". I'm used to seeing some every week or two.

My son just asked me the one question I wasn't prepared to answer...
While playing Smash he asked, "Is this a fighting game?"
I could find no words.

Speaking of that job I wanted, Giant Bomb is also celebrating its 10 year anniversary today. I'm incredibly fortunate and have had a hell of a good time here in my handful of years here.

I'm needing to replace my video card so I checked in at Fry's. There was a dude there that was pricing out the 1070s. We got to talking, he showed me a picture of the crypto-farm he's building, and I WANTED TO FIGHT HIM SO BAD. I gave him a LOOK and walked away in disgust.

Jason has a vast collection of Friday the 13th Memorabilia and he had an idea of displaying some of his masks in a kind of artistic way. I did my best to bring his idea to life and even backlit them. It was fun! Glad they're out of the box and on display now.
