Gonna rant a bit.  My phone, a Galaxy SIII, has decided that it no longer wants to live.  Truth be told, it's suicide wasn't entirely unexpected, as this is about the same age my wife's SIII was when it took its own life.  Apparently Samsung provides every one of its phones with strict instructions to end its existence after 3 years along with the means to do so.  My wife's phone died suddenly, so I imagine it had a little cyanide capsule that it bit into before she could recover all the information that she needed from it.  Mine on the other hand, still powers on and shuts off randomly at this point, so I'm thinking it is surely deriving some sick pleasure at my frustration.  I was planning on upgrading this year anyhow, as I dropped the phone and cracked the screen over a year ago, but I was hoping to wait until the new HTC One model was announced.  Apparently my stupid sadistic phone has other ideas.  Which brings me to my point.

So, apparently December 3 2014 marks the 20th birthday of the PlayStation.  It launched on this date way back in 1994 in Japan (we wouldn't get it in the US until September 9 1995).

On November 18 2012, I purchased a Wii U primarily to play Bayonetta 2.  Today, almost 2 years later, I will finally be able to do just that.

On Monday, October 20th, my father passed away after succumbing to the effects of cancer.  It was a rather short battle.  He had only just started showing symptoms in late August and was diagnosed in early September, and now, in the proverbial blink of an eye, he's gone.  The last few weeks had been especially agonizing for him, so I'm glad he's no longer suffering.  He taught me to place others' needs before my own, along with the value of hard work.  I, and all his family and friends, will miss him dearly.

Hello,  I'm new to Pixlbit, but I've been around the proverbial block a few times.  A couple of you may remember me as jelliSHOT from 1up.  I was never a prolific blogger, but I did try to leave comments when I could.  But it takes me forever to write anything lol.
