Mike and Tom, if you want some fanmail check your inbox, I sent you some last week!

listening to the show now

Glad to have Mike back this week. I'll miss him while he's on hiatus. Hopefully Jason can pick up the slack while he is gone as he adds a lot to the show as well lately.

Edit: That Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald at the end of the pod was epic.

It was good to be back but you can hear that I'm just done and need a bit of a break

This year was alot rougher on me then I expected so I am hoping some down time will help me get back into fighting shape

Yeah you do work really hard, Mike. Seems like you are always doing something or other for work or school. You should go to the beach, that always seems to sooth big-wig businessmen when they go on vacation. Go lay in one of those long fold out chairs in the sand with an umbrella attached to shade you from the sun and listen to the waves crashing in!

Thanks for caring man, i really hope a few weeks will mellow me out somewhat.
I'm hoping a trip to the doctors will also help get me back into fighting shape.

hope you enjoy your sabatical and return at full strength mike

I've kind of fallen off the Nintendo handheld wagon lately. I already have a Gameboy Pocket, Gameboy Color, Gameboy Advance, Gameboy Advance SP, and I just got tired of having to buy a new system every other year. DS, DS lite, DSi, DSi lite, DS XL, 3DS, it's like Nintendo are the kings of making us buy the same $hit over and over again, just paint it a new color or make it smaller/bigger and you pump another $100+ bucks out of us.

I did get a 3DS though so I guess the streak is broken
