Hey all!

Thought I'd take my rant down and update on some positive things.

First off, yep... the PSN is up (though the store is not). I found out on Saturday and updated at that time. They had me re-make my password (which is far better than the last one) and gave a big security update that took about 15 mins to install.

Either way, I'm just glad it's over. I don't play online that much, but I still pop on LBP2 often and check the PSN store for updates weekly for new stuff.

...and speaking of new stuff, one of the big games I'm playing lately (Blazblue: Continuum Shift) is getting a major update. Not only will there be the third and final DLC character available for purchase (Platinum the Trinity), but they are re-structuring characters and re-balancing them.

Despite being against fighting game "tiers", when I heard that my main character (Jin Kisaragi) was being moved to the top of the pile alongside Noel Vermillion, Hazama and Makoto (all of whom are characters my friends also main), I was very excited. It's mainly because this means there are major improvements to these characters that I can't wait to see. My Jin will become stronger... but my friend's Noel will too unfortunately (I say unfortunately, because my friend is already nearly unstoppable with Noel without being boosted).

Either way, I plan on building on what I know with Jin and making him a force to be reckoned with.

Finally, there's Anthrocon. Everyone's beginning to gear up for it (which will be in approximately 1 and a half months), so I thought I'd update anyone who's wondering (or cares to listen).

I am going... pretty much no matter what. There were three of us planning on taking the trip down to Pittsburg, two of which are drivers. The problem with this is that the other driver was not confirmed to be able to get the time off, meaning I'd have had to borrow my father's car (instead of driving my car, which I don't trust on the 6 hour drive).

Luckily, however, she has confirmed that she has the time booked off, so we'll be taking her car (though I of course may drive part of the way there and back to make things easier). This means we are all 100% confirmed for the convention. This is great, since the last time we tried to book off AC, we got royally screwed, leaving one of our buddies twisting in the wind. Well, we're not this time.

That's right,  Androo... we're all coming hell or high water!

 Ryan-SilverFox - confirmed
 Derranged - confirmed
 Sierra - confirmed
 Androo - thanks again for doing the bookings =3

Also, Derr, Sier and I are planning on being in the Artist Alley for at least one of the days... so if you're looking for commissions or buying some sweet swag, try to find us there! I'll be happy to meet any of y'all there if you're going!
