So it has been a few weeks and I have been working and haven’t had much time for the blog.  But I have been playing games that where created or have a sequel being created in New York!   I played  Guitar Hero on Tour DS,  The Bee Movie DS, & Kung Fu Panda DS from Activision.  I played Diner Dash DS from the folks a Game Labs. (One of my favorites I might add…)  Ok, then I played Puzzle Quest DS from the great people at 1st Playable.  I also found out that 1st Playable has been working on Club Penguin DS and it connects to the online flash game through some Dgamer account!   So I played some more club penguin!  I orginally joined club penguin as part of an MMO class in college but now am super addicted an think everyone should play and be my friend.   (My penguin name : IRLniceguy  favorite-server: FJORD )…ok enough playing games…

What about making them!  Well I have a new mini project I am working on. I am attempting to make a few Nintendo DS homebrews so that I can become fimiliar with the system that seems to getting a lot of attention in my state.  My next step…move! To where…idk?  Probably closer to Albany and NYC.  Possibly, “Troy, NY”; maybe I could start a Masters program at RPI?!?  But yeah, I am still in my day by day persuit of getting started in the game industry.  If you are actually reading my blog…and think I am awesome… you should probably get all my twitters… Just follow AwesomeMike  !   Ok, so as most of you know, I am pretty slick about saving money in my travels…like I did GDC Sanfrancisco for 332$ !  That’s a pass(no-volunteering), a round trip flight (DC-SF) and a weeks stay. Of course I did Austin GDC cheaper!  But now AwesomeMike needs to come up with a way to move towards the city for very little, find a job to cover rent, and get a cheap but nice appartment?  So naturally that sound like a job for craiglist.  I will let you know how it goes !  If you have any ideas on how to save money let me know!
