I began posting here in December and stopped before January.

Some lurking was in order, mostly. That happened - I checked threads here and got to grasp the overall flavor of IC/SB. It was better reading than the rest of the games-oriented internet, that's for sure.

Then, three days ago, I found myself skiing in Whistler Mountain. At 4:00, administration pulled the plug on the chairlifts as per the norm. This ends the day. This is when everyone escapes down the SKI OUT run, the only route off the mountain. With a day's worth of tourists mowing down it, the conditions on SKI OUT turn to shit. Powder is crushed into ice, people are tired; although SKI OUT is a technically simple run, it causes the majority of Whistler's accidents. Me, I was slaloming around SKI OUT with a group of people when a snowboarder came screaming down the hill out of nowhere, crashed into me and broke my leg right then and there!

With a newly broken leg, I have more time for the internet than before. Enough time to start posting on SB again, but hopefully BETTER.

Oh, and my taste in games. I play them for atmosphere more than anything. Not to be completely shallow, but aesthetics have priority in my book, and I lash out at whatever contrived plot devices and video-gamey tackiness disrupt them. My fondness for jagged polygons, which are a visual style of their own by now, dictates that the Nintendo 64 is my favorite console, despite its musical range being fucking offensive. Pilotwings on there is glorious.
