Another Hiatus Apology + MAGFest 2023

Hello once again, you guys.

Sorry for kind of disappearing after that last hiatus post. Life stuff is still getting in the way but I’ll try to still write for my blog when I’m able to.

Anyway, I attended this year’s MAGFest conference (the ninth one I’ve attended I think?).

On day 1 of the conference, I picked up my badge, and then got a wristband, the latter of which I thought was a pointless addition. Isn’t wearing the badge enough validation that you paid for a pass?

Didn’t go on day 2 because I wanted to stay home and spend time with my family that day.

On day 3 of the conference, in addition to playing in the arcade and roaming around the marketplace I attended attendee run tournaments of the N64 games The New Tetris and Goldeneye. I contemplated going to the The Runaway Guys’ Thrown Controllers panel but it was far too crowded for my liking. But I did spend some time at TASbot’s game archival panel.

On the final day of the conference, I went to the PC LAN room and played a bit of CS:GO online via my own Steam account.

Though I found the conference to be more of the same compared to previous MAGFests, I still had a decent time regardless. I’m also planning to go to this year’s Super Smash Con conference.

See ya later.

Quick Hiatus Apology

Hi guys, long time no see.

I deeply apologize for the ~year and a half long hiatus I took between my last blog post and this one.

Due to personal stuff and me and my family having to deal with the pandemic, I haven’t been able to pay much attention to this blog.

Next month, however, I plan to change that, as I currently have a few reviews in the drafting stage. I’ve also since bought an Elgato capture card.

Once again, I apologize for the long hiatus and hope you all understand.

In the meantime, you can follow me on Twitter at: https://twitter.com/Gamerrethink.

Stay tuned.

My wisdom tooth surgery experience

Hi everyone, it’s me again.

If any of you are wondering why I posted no review last Thursday, it’s because I went to get ALL FOUR of my wisdom teeth taken out that day.  Many years ago my wisdom teeth had been diagnosed by dentists as having cavities in them. Leading up to the surgery, my parents told me what would happen before and after the surgery.

My parents scheduled an appointment in late July, and when the day finally came (August 30, 2018), I was of course very nervous. However, when they put me to sleep. I didn’t feel anything and next thing I knew, I was sitting in a dental chair. I was surprised that the surgery went well and that they didn’t have to cut into my jaw or anything like that.

Of course, after the surgery ended, I hate to bite on a gauze pad for the first  day, go on a soft food diet for a week, rinse my mouth with saltwater after every meal, etc.

I may feel fully recovered by Friday of this week (September 7, 2018). Normally scheduled reviews will continue next week.

See ya’ll later.
