Got Game is returning. I am not dead (although I'm finishing up finals and grading lots of things, which I think could be classified as a form of death). I discovered a few things since the last time I posted.
1) I am going to be a FATHER. Interesting. I will have a little girl sometime in late January if all goes as expected. Not to worry, I have already purchased a suitable game controller for an infant, in pink. [ game slang reference: WOOT! although that doesn't begin to do it justice ]
2) Games in academia is rolling slowly forward. I've been away working on RIT's plans in this space (can't comment. WANT to comment, can't comment...).
3) I've missed the blog. I can't wait to get back into it.
Friday: I grade things. Weekend: I collapse. Monday: The Blog Returns.
To quote the ending of almost every episode of Inuyasha: "See you soon!"
