Off-Topic: On The Move

Today’s our big day! Steff and I will be moving into our new place. These next few days will be quite hectic, as we’ll be going through the process of setting everything up (including internet access). The amount of time I can spend on In Third Person for the time being could be compressed, but fret not. I have some posts scheduled to go for the time being, and I’m hoping to at least get back into the swing of things to talk about my two most anticipated games of the year: Mass Effect 3 and Street Fighter X Tekken, both of which are out on the same day.

Till then, I’ll get back to packing the moving truck. See you all soon!

After our first two appointments, particularly the second one, Steff and I were feeling pretty low about our search. While there are always hundreds of apartment listings available in the area we were looking for, the two we thought were great didn’t live up to our expectations and we were concerned that things wouldn’t get better.
