So umm, yeah.

I just realized I left my page with that last journal, and not any update on what's going on.
If I haven't already told you, which... seems almost impossible by this point, I didn't get the job. So the job hunt resumes.
In lighter news, been playing tons of Spiral Knights again, after competing in the Autumn Friendly and getting destroyed by the same 15-20 Pokemon everyone's using... god, it's like these people LIVE at Smogon or something.
Also ended up getting Kirby: Return To Dreamland and started playing that with my brother. It's really fun, as expected. x3 Pretty easy except for the challenge stages on the side, which, of course, are challenging if you try to get gold ranking on them.
I competed in a Melty Blood tournament this past Saturday, which had been organized to try and get people hyped up for the PC release of Current Code. Ended up taking second place, losing only to one of my and my brother's friends, who is the best in our whole group. I was a bit surprised when he told me I really improved from the last time, considering it's been such a long time since either of us has played the game seriously.
I was doing a bit poorly in practice, but once the tournament had actually started, it was as if I'd never stopped playing the game at all. Everything just came rushing back to memory and... I gotta say it was a bit disappointing honestly. I mean, competing was fun, but aside from that one friend who beat me, both to put me into the loser's bracket from winner's finals and again in grand finals, I didn't really get much of a challenge.
I'm hoping this will spur the community on to practice and play more though, instead of just crushing their hopes of being good enough to compete. It would be nice to see the community expand and grow, and become tougher competitors as well.
Aand... I think that's about it. Oh, my brother started playing the new Rune Factory on Wii. I'm liking what I see, though he already found out a huge exploit to earn money incredibly easy. It's just... time consuming. x3
