Well hello bonfire...

So! I finally have a decent excuse for my absence!! I was at Gencon, the gamer convention in Indianapolis, Indiana.

Just as last year Aaron and I spent the weekend helping in a dungeon for NERO, the LARP we play. A couple of days NPCing and teaching new people to play the game we love? Yes please! If you've never been to a nerd convention (be it gaming or anime, or anything else), make a point to rectify it.
"Just a little...*ehn*...Farther...*ehn*...Needs...*oof*...Souls..."
Monday Madness today was short and painful. I died. Alot. Be it from getting shanked from behind by the Hollow behind me (freaking ninja) or poisoned by a zombie rat (which in itself is a death sentence), I died time and time again. Just as progress seemed to finally smile upon me, death would jump on my back with a deafening "HELLLLLOOOO!". After an hour of making literally zero progress, I calmly exited the game (HA!) and hopped over to more FFIX.

I think I'll make tomorrow Terrible Tuesday and at least try to get past the weird boar thing I can't seem to get to. Some demon bacon sounds great about now...

Clearing out Cobwebs

*Bows deeply*

My sincerest apologies, Great Readers, for my absence has been much longer than I had foreseen. Mine has been a long and arduous journey, beset by woes and hardships. O Great Readers, I have been LARPing this weekend past. Dueling with mages and warriors from across the land-

Wow...even in text I can't keep that up. Can you even imagine talking like that? Poor renaissance fair people...Anyway, I haven't been posting because I've been LARPing. I am on staff at a LARP called NERO, or the New England Role-playing Organization. This event was certainly one of the more interesting ones I've been to, both on the staff side and on the side of the player. Thus I spent most of yesterday winding down and recuperating, watching Sword Art Online and cleaning the house.

Because I shamefully (and cowardly) skipped Monday Madness yesterday, I will spend at least part of tomorrow on good old Dark Souls. About the time I decide I've punished myself enough I'll hop back over to Earthbound, which I'd like to have beaten by sometime next week, if not sooner.

Also, COMIC TOMORROW!!!!!
