Sorry for no updates. I have been rather busy.
PAX was one of the greatest times of my life, pictures and a write up to follow.
I just needed to share how awesome tonight was though.
I was able to sit and enjoy actual conversations with people who were not my very close friends for decades. Transformers, America, world affairs, zombie plans, Hell's Kitchen, movies, gaming, the game industry, and a ton more. We sat in Chevy's for what seemed like 3 hours but was only an hour and a half.
After graduating college in May, my brain has been striving for intelligent people to have conversations with, nerdy or not. I have yet to find an outlet for it in all honesty outside my small group of friends. One o my friends had dinner plans with some of his old friends from college and invited me along so I went. I have met both of his friends before, one once and another one, two times.
I am going to cut this short. Just know that since my days in college, I have not had such in depth conversations that could hold my attention and enthrall me. These did happen at PAX but there were so many awesome things about that trip that itfalls udner another category.
I needed a win and tonight was a big win. I am glad my friend invited me along and that I was accepted to come along. I hope this becomes a semi regualr event.
Also, go Yankees and Raymond Padilla, formerly of G4tv's The Feed, is the fucking man! I hope he finds a new job in the industry soon. There is no one more entertaining to read articles from than he. It sucks that during these hard economic conditions the gaming industry is getting hurt with job lose. I don't know why he lost his job nor is it anyone's business. Just know that R_Pad's social commentary on gaming and movie culture will be missed.
That is all.

Introductions and welcomes
Hi there and welcome to my new blog.The name is Mike, or Archer as most know me over these wonderful interwebz. I am 23 years old and a recent colege graduate. Yeah, I work at Best buy but I wil be going off for my real career in January. I am starting a blog for a few key reasons and here they are in an unorganized, flabbish list (Is flabbish a word?).
1) I want a place to share all of my wonderful experiences at PAX in full detail. PAX, for those of you who don't know, is the Peny Arcade Expo, an annual convention that deals with webcomics, video games, and other awesome internet things (Like Red VS Blue, the greatest thing on the internet, seriously, google that shit). I do a weekly ninja rant (More like one every few months...sorry Blue) over on Ninja's Hate Bad Grammar and wanted to broaden my space so I moved over here (My weekly rant will be going back there as well)
2) My format: I have been wanting to expand to a specific 5 day a week pattern for sometime now. I did not want to flood NHBg with this. I will be keeping a basic 5 day format of a different type fo format every day. An example would be a weekly rant every Thursday or Media Mondays. I have not fully figured out what day will be which but will post it Sudnay when I finalize it.
3) Having a blog with a 5 day a week format makes me write more (More ninja rants for NHBG yay!). Which, in turn, makes me read more and expand my vocabulary (Something I need to continue now that I have graduated from college...sigh...)
My early format looks something like this:
Monday = Media Monday, where I will discuss something involving a movie, video game, or the rumors surrounding either or.
Tuesday = Video Views, where I will post the link (Unless someone can tell me how to embed one on here) to a video that interests me and I discuss why it should interest you.
From then on, I have my Ninja Rant, (or Archer's Sniping Point) A life observation, and then I do not know what. I am lost on a fifth topic. Maybe a In the News section but if I do that I will inevitably end up talking poitics and my plan is to not offend people on here.
For now, there you have it.
Special thanks to Eye_Shuh. She does not know it yet, but I found this blog becuase of her and I will be interupting ehr Omeganaught trainging to nquire how to get all the cool features on my blog as well.
