Went to my nephew's high school graduation. Saw some familiar faces and heard the same old rehashed speeches from the faculty. Can't believe it's been a decade since I left school.

It gets even harder to believe when it's been two decades and more.

aside from working several hours in 90 degree temperatures, i've been getting some news that my older brother may come up to visit soon. really looking forward to it, and hoping that i get a few days off.

That's awesome Ben. I hope you two have a great time.

That's good to know, Ben. I hope you guys have fun.

it just depends when he'll get here though. he's also in the middle of finding a new place to move in the texas area due to a job opportunity. he was probably getting tired of living in north dakota as much as me.

Man... today is my second son's 5th birthday. Can't believe how time goes by. But I'm very glad to be able to see them grow up. Very blessed. Nothing in life is more rewarding than seeing your kids grow and live life.

That's what any parent wants to see.

so i tried pushing time into my schedule to watch the E3 presentations from microsoft, sony and nintendo. i think it's obvious that sony and microsoft got the better end of the deal, but that doesn't mean that i'm not looking forward to some of nintendo's titles.

star fox zero looked amazing, and i might just pick up the new legend of zelda 3DS game (no, not the hyrule warriors one). people have been complaining about the new metroid game just because it doesn't have samus in it. may i ask, why? when metal gear solid 2 came out you played as a whiny kid named raiden through the second half of the game, and fans hated it at first but grew to like it. so who says that the new metroid won't change expectations when it's out? ah well, that's just me.

i wanted to pick up mario maker thinking it would be one of those $30 pricetag games, but after checking the price on the preorder lists, i think i'll hold off.

The first part of the event for Nintendo was Glorious. Same goes for the intermissions. Bananas enough said. But after Starfox the digital event lost it's punch. Though they did better than Square Eh-Nix I'll admit.
