Readjusting

It's been almost 2 months since I've returned from Japan and I can hardly stop thinking about it.  I think I've finally readjusted to being back home.  I felt like I've been extremely busy the past two months and yet I also feel like I've accomplished very little.  Having returned from my trip, I spent an entire month organizing the stuff I got into my room and game room, transferring photos, making a slide show, chronicling my trip, creating a scrap book, and posting a shorten summary of the trip here on this blog.  It was a lot of fun retracing everything I did and remembering the moments that made the trip special, but I also felt like I spent way more time doing it than a normal person would.  Maybe it felt like I wasted a lot of time doing all of that all throughout February and parts of March, but perhaps I'll be glad I did it when I revisit those memories in the future.

Aside from post-trip stuff, I contacted someone I was recommended to speak to to see if there's any connections they have with game developers or publishers that could reference me to a job.  I wrote up a new resume and generalized it and had them reach out to their connections while I personally applied to the company Corsair.  Afterwards, I continued working on the video for my remix I made back in December.  I'm mostly finished, but would like to make a few changes before uploading it.

Besides work stuff, I've tried to really focus on some games and finish some up this past month.  I was able to complete 12 of them with the big ones being Splatoon 2, Devil May Cry V, and Accel World vs. Sword Art Online.  I did get a few new games this month, despite trying not to buy anymore than I can handle at the moment.  I immediately played and got through Devil May Cry V, as mentioned.  I picked up the physical version of Dragon: Marked for Death and got around half way through the game.  I'm really enjoying it a lot and expect to play quite a few hours of it.  I picked up Watch Dogs 2 when I learned from my friends that there was 4-player co-op and it was super cheap (I got it for $8.09).  I haven't even played Watch Dogs 1 yet, but I installed it and hope to play it soon.  Besides that, I picked up Risk of Rain 2 and Fighting EX Layer over this past weekend.  Risk of Rain 2 just released for Early Access and also offered a buy 1 get 1 free copy to give to a friend.  I unlocked all the characters available so far today and so I'll count it as a completed game for now because I really don't know when the game will be fully released.  Fighting EX Layer was half off and also released Terry Bogard from Fatal Fury/The King of Fighters as a DLC.

That's it for now.  For April, I'm hoping to get a lot of reading done, get through some light audio work in, and finish even more games than this past month.
