The Return

So…hey guys!  I know it’s been a long time, but I must implore that the rumors of my demise have been greatly exaggerated.  My sabbatical from PixlBit has been of such a length that there are surely those out there who don’t even know who I am – something that I hope to remedy in the coming weeks.

So, for those who don’t know who I am, my name is Jesse Miller, and I am the Features Editor here at PixlBit.  In August of last year my lovely fiancé, Kasondra, gave birth to our first child Lila.  Since then it’s been a whirlwind – and awesome whirlwind – but a whirlwind non-the-less.  Aside from Lila being born, we moved and I received a promotion at my “other job”.  Spare time has dwindled to the point of non-existence, as has my excess energy.  Suffice to say, I haven’t had much time to keep up with the world of videogames, PixlBit, or much else for that matter.

But I’m adjusting.  Becoming a father has been both a challenging and immensely rewarding experience – an experience that I am feeling increasingly comfortable with, which is starting to open up my availability to make somewhat of a return to this wonderful gaming community.

That being said, this does not mean a return to the rate of production I had previously held myself to.  I will be blogging as much as I can, and will return to contributing to the site as I can in the form of features and editorials (aside from behind the scenes stuff).  Because this year I will also be getting married – and as some of you know, planning a wedding can be rather time consuming.

So here I am.  I’m back baby!

Game on.

Congratulations on becoming a father and the promotion. Exciting times in the Miller house. And I know only too well the time consumed by planning a wedding. Good luck with that...Laughing

Great to hear from you Jesse. Enjoy Lila while she's little. Before you know it she will be a teenager and you will know nothing. :)

WOW congrats on the little one. I think it's ok if you miss some blogs, you need the sleep! New baby and a promotion is an awesome way to start 2014

I would love to have kids.  But it's not in the cards yet.  But I think it's awesome you have had one! 

Good luck with the wedding planning!

Congrats on the promotion, upcoming wedding,  and of course your little one - truly awesome stuff my man! I'm glad that you're back, and we need to do a podcast together and some point in the future!

I'd really appreciate that as well, I always like those podcasts. You're really busy so it obviously doesn't need to be a regular thing like in the old days, but it would be really satisfying to get a PSTC style podcast every once in a while when it's reasonable to do so.
