    This past week has been quite eventful. In regards to the photo above, our local Play N Trade had an overnight LAN party, but the neighboring restaurant, Ying’s was hosting a party of there own.

The few city residents that attended the LAN hit the floor after the first shot and instructed the others to get down as well. Nobody at the LAN was hurt, but a stray bullet hit the window next door.

    Since this is a blog and I’m only one guy (with the help of one rather astounding lexicomane), I’ve been having a hard time keeping up with a solid stream of reviews. I still plan to use the same format that I’ve been using for the reviews. I’ve been caught up in the Pokémon craze these past few weeks, but I’ve been taking it slow, enjoying it as I go though it. As I’ve was going through it, I considered posting opinion pieces about things I was coming across in the game. Since I hadn’t established a norm for doing so, I felt it would feel out of place. That…
