So I apologize for my MIA time. Things got really crazy, like I suspected with work and the apartment. Things are finally calming down. I've got to game here and there but not alot. Alot of youtube in that area since I fall asleep easier to sound. At the sametime insomnia has been also making a visit here and there as well as depression. I figured all this would happen. New place, new adjustments, and new realizations of just how lonely I am out here. Only 1 friend lives close by and there going thru hard times themselves with finding work. The others are scattered and now apparently aren't talking to me. Oh well. Again sorry for my lack of response, when I'm being a Debbie downer I tend to become super less active. Still trying to work on that.

If there is a game I've played alot of it's Story of Seasons. That game is so fun and addicting. I mean it is the Harvest Moon game I've been waiting for. Tool upgrades? Check! A town? Check! Interesting characters? Check! Fun farming mechanics? Check! Great custimaztion features? Check! This game delivers a great experiance. It also has a awesome plus that it's on portable so I can play it at work at night. The other game that I've devoted time to is Resident Evil Remastered. I'm really loving it but I can't remember the game worth a crap. I beat it during the gamecube days but for the life of me can't remember a damn thing. I it got with some credit from Amazon.  Speaking of which.

When I bitched to Amazon about Bloodbourne not arriving on release day like it was suppose to I got a 10 credit added to my account as well has 20.00 readded to my giftcard balance since they gave me 20% off my order of it. My mom gave me one of her best skills. Now I know that seems trivial to bitch about but I didn't just give them a 107.98 at the beginning of this year to pull this crap with me. I paid for special shipping since I do use them a lot. If I didnt, I wouldn't have paid for prime. Prime is not worth it if you don't frequently shop with them. However I do use them for a lot of things like blurays , books, music, and games occasionally. However this has happened the 2 times I've preordered a game from them. Normally I buy already released games but when Lollipop Chainsaw was going to release Amazon got the Rockabilly costume dlc bonus. I decided to go for that one, guess what? Didn't arrive on release day as stated. Bloodbourne, the collectors set was only available through them when we decided to get it instead of The Order and yall know what happened to that. They don't seem to do good about that sort of thing. Idk if it's they take so many preorders in that they end up screwing themselves or they just don't do well in that department.

Anywho I didn't preorder MKX through them so I don't have to worry about tomorrow. Apparently there doing a midnight release for it. Im pretty excited, my collectors editon is already paid off so all I got to do is pick it up. Then in May is the Witcher 3 and then Batman in June. So far July and August don't have any concrete releases yet. That could change at any time of course especially since E3 is coming up. I have several wishes for E3 but I'll talk about them upon a closer date.

I hope you are all well and doing great!

I've been playing a lot of Story of Seasons, too.  But I responded to your comment on your last blog, so I won't go into it here.  But I will say you're right about Iris. :)

I think a lot of the fault of stuff not arriving on time may fall with UPS. I have a horrible time with UPS, Amazon usually ships out fine, then UPS screws it up on their end. I have to play find the package all through my neighborhood, and once they broke a CD in half in transit.

You are probably right. I don't honestly know how he process works but usually the reason things run late is it takes a long time to leave Amazons hands from their facility so I figure it's on their fault. However it could still very well be ups. Oh that is horriable :( I hope they replaced it free for you.

Amazon replaced the CD (the only game soundtrack I've ever bought - Journey). I never did find where UPS delivered it, it was left in my mailbox two days after it was supposedly delievered, presumably whomever it was mistakenly delivered to.

Now imagine you live in Australia. If there's a shipping date, you generally add 1-2 weeks to it. I hope you get to play Bloodborne soon though. I've almost finished it twice now. I've been alternating between that and Dark Souls 2: Scholar of the First sin. 

 Still, that kinda sucks. If you're paying extra, there should be priority placed onyou getting your goods when you asked for them.

 And glad to have you back. I've been AWOL too, for similar reasons. That and I've spent most of my free time with Bloodborne. Still, write more. You're good at it.

Thank yiu! I'm definitely gonna aim to write alot more and stay more active. Things just get crazy and go all over the place. That's effing insane about the shipping, 1-2 weeks? Well my issues are bread crumbs :( sorry you have to wait a long time.

I think once I get some free money I'm gonna pick up Dark Souls 2. I like bloodbourne alot so I'm thinking of giving that a go around to see how well I like it.

I buy a fair amount of music from Amazon but not enough to justify getting the Prime subscription. Most of the time I'll end up spending $30 and get the free shipping anyway. That sucks that they gave you the run around. I felt the same when I got screwed out of my perks for preordering Realm Reborn. Gamestop and Squenix both threw up their hands like "not my fault, not my problem". I just don't preorder anything anymore.

Dude I have gotten screwed put of preorder bonuses so I know all to we'll how ya feel. Both the companies did the exact same thing to me. They both said it was the others fault and I can guarantee you Gamestop customer service probably has me on their hitlist for sure. I was pretty disappointed with not getting my lil Artbook for Dragon's Crown.

That's why I don't like having things shipped.

I don't either but there are just times where it's my only option :(

I used to love getting things in the mail, but since I had a few issues with stuff getting stolen, I've stuck mainly to going to stores.

That's was actually one of my biggest fears when I moved but so far things have been pretty good. That sucks things have been stolen from you :(.

I've decided to play Witcher 2 in preparation of 3 coming out in may.  Don't know if I'll have a PS4 by that time but u never know.

Now Snee the first boss in Witcher 2 is freaking ridiclous so learn how to dodge really good before going off to face it, saving is your best friend, and so is oils and potions.

Man that sucks about the whole shipping of your game. I'm glad you got some cash back, but still not having your game on time sucks. I'm not big on buying games online, I like to waltz into a store pick it up, and if its a Target make my way through the Lego aisle Tongue Out

Hopefully things pick up for you in your current situation.

That's technically how I prefer it but there is several things that stores don't sell that I have to resort to online to get. Things will probably get better, I don't think they wanna hear from me again,lol.
