I’m Back! (Sort of)

JettLeave a comment

Hey everyone!

It’s been a crazy few weeks for Steff and I with the move. With that said, I’m glad to report that we’ve successfully moved all of our stuff into the new place.

Though the hard part is out of the way, there’s definitely still work to be done. It’s probably going to take us a few weeks before we’re fully functioning.

As for the blog, I’ll do the best I can to keep things going. Realistically, there’s a lot of work to be done at home for the next little while, and I don’t have a stable enough internet connection here yet for any online gaming, so there may be a dip in content frequency. I’ll do my best to keep this going for you 🙂

Anywho, I am off for now. Stay tuned for more gaming posts in the future!

Off-Topic: On The Move

JettLeave a comment

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!

Off-Topic: Adventures in Apartment Hunting Part 2

Jett1 Comment

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.

For our next two appointments, we decided to check out some condos. Would we have better luck with the condos than we did with the houses?

Off-Topic: Adventures in Apartment Hunting Part 1

JettLeave a comment

Dorothy once clicked the heels of her red shoes and said, “There’s no place like home”. For almost a year now, Steff and I have been talking about find our own place that together we could call home. Over the past month or so, we’ve taken the next step and have been actively apartment hunting. It’s been an interesting journey to say the least. After looking through hundreds of apartment listings between the two of us (more her than I to her credit), we booked appointments and made our way out to places we thought we could call home. The results? Click through to find out!

Pick-Up Post: PlayStation 24″ 3D LED Display Bundle

JettLeave a comment


2012 is poised to be a big year for me. The biggest milestone of 2012 for me is quickly approaching, as Steff and I are planning on moving into our own apartment together in the next few months. I’m excited for what the future will hold for us. Without foreshadowing too much, I’m sure that there will be more posts to come relating to our big plans and how they somehow tie back into video games, starting…now.

One of the first considerations that came up in our moving plans was the TV situation. I’m a fairly active gamer, and she’s a fairly active TV/movie watcher. While I aim to spend as much time with her as I can because I love her and want to continue being a good significant other, there will likely be times when we’ll both want access to a TV, and only having one screen available to us could get messy. My parents got me a 40″ TV for Christmas, which will be great as Steff and I’s future main TV in our living room. As for a second screen, I came across the PlayStation 3D TV at a heavily discounted price during the holiday.

Off-Topic: Back From Raptors Centre Court

JettLeave a comment

I’m with Steff at the Toronto Raptors game and I just got back from centre court. I just played in the Cash Machine contest, where I had to catch flying money then hit a 3-pointer to triple my bucks.

Thank you Toronto Raptors! Video coming soon!

To Review or Not Review Video Games…

Jett3 Comments

…that is the question.

I like to think to myself that I write this blog for me first. I turn to this blog whenever I have a gaming thought I think is worth writing down and I make it happen. It’s a very therapeutic process for me. However, I also love to look at my analytics to see what does well and what doesn’t. Posts about fightsticks? Money in the bank. Posts about sexy video game characters? They never go out of style. Video game reviews? The numbers aren’t pretty.

My Recent Experiences Playing Arcade Fighting Games

JettLeave a comment

Fighting games may have their roots in the arcade, but I almost never play fighting games on an arcade machine. In my part of the world, the arcade scene is very much dead. Within a 60km radius from downtown, I can think of only five actual arcades in existence. There are also movie theatres that have a handful of arcade games, but the vast majority of them don’t have fighting games.

With that said, I was caught off guard the other day when Steff and I went out to see The Ides of March. The movie theatre we went to had a Street Fighter IV machine and a Marvel vs. Capcom 2 machine. I was pretty excited to play both of these games as they were originally designed to be played, but disappointment set in rather quickly when I got my hands on the controls.

Off-Topic: I’m Going to London

Jett1 Comment

Though I have traveled to hundreds of fictional video game worlds in my lifetime, traveling in real life has been far less frequent. I’ve only ever been on a plane once in my life, and I’ve only spent a total of one month out of my entire existence outside of my country. My lack of traveling has nothing to do with me being a video game nerd. However, it has everything to do with not having the time or resources to travel up until this point in time.

With that said, life is starting to stabilize for me. I’ve been working full-time for the last few years, which comes with the benefits of a steady income and paid vacation. In a matter of days, I’ll be enjoying the spoils of my ‘wealth’ with my girlfriend in London, England in just over a week from today.
