The Ball Stopped Rolling! :(

It's been quite a long time since I wrote anything here. I feel awful about that for a number of reasons, but instead of going into that and opening up an unnecessarily large can of worms, I'll just say that I'm back, and hopefully will be blogging regularly for the foreseeable future. What I can do is offer some lame excuses for my extended absence, not the least of which being that I've spent FAR too much time lately playing World of Warcraft. It's a vice of mine, for sure, and technically falls within the realm of gaming. Meaning I could have been writing about that this whole time. But really, that's not why I started this blog. I don't want to be a WoW blog. I want to be able to voice my opinion on new and upcoming games from all genres and platforms, and all that jazz. Turning it into a WoW blog really sucks all the life out of it. Regardless, a veritable onslaught of quality gaming is right around the corner. Once October comes, we're going to be in SRS BZNSS.
I also find it somewhat ironic, looking back, that even though a good chunk of this blog's life thus far has to do with Dead Island, and yet here I sit two days after the game's release with no copy to my name. I'll probably pick it up soon, maybe even this afternoon, simply to have something to review. Though if my peers in the game-reviewing world know what they're talking about, I'm afraid I'm going to be disappointed.
At any rate, it feels good to be back writing...or at least typing...again. The creative juices are flowing, and the part of my brain which controls writing is shaking off the dust, and climbing out from under the part of my brain which controls everything WoW related. I do have a raid on Friday though, so I'm hoping they won't start to bicker...
