I'm pretty excited about getting my first issue.

That Lego Indy/Kung Fu Panda came with my 360. I'm only missing one achievement for Lego Indy, but I don't think I've ever even taken the Kung Fu Panda game out of the case.

Big names are over-rated. The beautiful thing about folk music is that it's meant for anyone to participate in. Some of the people in the sessions I go to aren't what would be considered good by many people's standards, but that's not what's important. What's important is that they're doing it because they enjoyed it. Tom influenced a lot of people, as evidenced by this article yesterday.

Good to hear from you. Sorry it's been crazy for you, though. And I hope that IT thing pans out. There is nothing worse than a job that makes you crazy, as I have found out from experience.

Thanks, Chris. Just thanks.

Thanks, John. It was. He used to host two sessions, one a weekly and the other a monthly, and they both happeded to fall this past weekend. We overflowed the normal space and raised the rafters in his honor. And they got me to lead a song yesterday, something I have never done there before.

As far as I'm concerned, the three laws of thermodynamics support the case for reincarnation, so you get no argument from me. And Tom was ready to go. It sounds strange, but it really was a good death. He went on his own terms, peacefully, and surrounded by friends and music. We should all be so lucky.

Glad you appreciate all the non-gaming stuff I write about, by the way.

Thanks, Matt.

I think the multiplayer component of Journey is what makes it such an emotional game.

And I think Tom and Barry Finn are probably swapping shanties wherever they may be.

I need a new hard drive for my PS3. Mothman is pretty good at describing how to do it yourself, and I think GH did his himself, too.

I, too, hate the battle system for Ni No Kuni. It's overly complicated and clunky and not much fun. 

I'll get one, it just won't be until at least the first price drop.
