February 2016 Entry



A little late typing up this entry, but I remembered.

=========================

- Watched Batman: Bad Blood (02.03). You can read my thoughts with the link provided. In short, it was the best of that trilogy of Batman animated movies.


- Normally I don't go out on Mondays because of RAW (been that way almost ever since RAW started). But I did go out for work related things on 2 big days.

Daniel Bryan announced his retirement (02.08). Very unfortunate, but no one would have wanted anything worse to happen to him. He gave his life to the business and will be remembered as one of the best wrestlers ever. Thank you, Daniel Bryan. 


Shane McMahon returned to the WWE (02.22). When I read the news of it on the way back home, I literally screamed out loud "SHANE MCMAHON?!" Amazing. It has been many years since he was last on WWE TV. His match at Wrestlemania is going to be exciting. I'm sure he's planning some crazy spot to do like he has done in the past.


- A high school friend came in to town (02.14). She let me know ahead of time so we can plan stuff for the weekend. Almost none of those plans happened. The only thing was eating dinner the day she came in and to hang out. But it was good to catch up with her. We're planning to take a road trip some time in the summer to visit another high school friend and her husband and son.  

=========================

- The final DLC characters for Smash Bros came out (02.04). Corrin was a pretty good character. I was a tad disappointed with Bayonetta. She was just weaker than I would have thought. I did like using both of them though. Thanks, Sakurai, for all the awesome DLC.


- Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam (3DS) - Review 

I beat Paper Jam on the 8th. So it took a little less than a month to do. I made sure to put in as many hours as I could on days off. That averaged to around 6-8 hours of game play on those days. I did enjoy it. While I was souring on both series, this was a good collaboration of them. I also feel I should end my time with those games with this one. 


- Started playing Project X Zone 2 (02.16). Similar to Paper Jam, I'm maximizing my time off to play it. I did add some weekday times (before work) to play and beat a chapter. Just like the first game, the fights are getting longer and more difficult. I don't think I've had a 2 hour battle yet, but from at least Chapter 10 or 15, the fights have lasted at least an hour (including story). As of typing this (03.07), I just finished Chapter 30.


- I did buy the Mega Man Legacy Collection for 3DS (02.23). I mainly got it for the Gold Mega Man amiibo. I do plan to play it, just not any time soon. But I feel I might beat one of the six titles whenever I feel like it rather than trying to beat one after the other during long gaming sessions.


=========================

- A couple of Agents went to PAX South and brought stuff back for everone. They got me a Zelda tote bag (02.02). Thanks. I still haven't used it yet simply because I don't want to carry more than I already do. But I know I'll use it when packing for trips and such.


- We had a slow day (02.04) so we closed up early and did a few things around the office. Agents Majordomo and Gig took the task of frosting one of our windows. The smell was strong and carried throughout the place. I and a couple other Agents started setting up fans to blow the frost smell away and out towards the front door.

Since we wrapped up early, I suggested we go out to eat and play arcade games at the nearby theatre. In the end, only myself and Agents Blue and Gig came. We had a nice dinner and then spent some time playing games. The biggest downside was that they recently removed the DDR machine that was there (I was really wanting to play it). The biggest upside was that I won a new owl from the crane game. 


- One year ago is when KHOU 11 did a news piece on us (02.08). I made sure to plaster that on our social networks. I even emailed Jacqueline Crea (reporter) to thank her and got the okay to give her 2 gift certificates. It definitely is one of our first big breaks.


- Agent Majordomo invited us to a game night at his place to coincide with Agent Raynor coming back (02.08). I had always said no in the past since the game nights were usually on Mondays and like I mentioned earlier in this entry, RAW. Plus it was quite far; an hour drive and two tolls both ways. But it was a fun night. Agents K and Blue were also there. Pictomania, where we all draw pictures at the same time (played it to being and end the night) and the other was Cash 'n Guns where we pointed foam guns at each other and tried to get as much of the cash and valuables. Both were really fun and simple to understand. Definitely would play them again.


- Agents Yeti and PQ received surprise gifts for Valentine's Day (02.14).


- I had been meaning to do this for a while now (months), but I finally contacted the woman we did a pregnancy reveal for (02.16). I was worried about how to phrase the email. She did tell me how she and her husband had troubles conceiving in the past that I thought she also might have had problems with the pregnancy. Thankfully, she responded quickly and was very glad to hear back from me and for the 2 gift certificates I gave her. She also sent me photos of her son (5 months). She was already planning to come back to HER with her friends for a birthday. I actually switched with Agent Gig so I can work that day and be their facilitator.  

- And now for a few more Instagram photos. Planning (02.03), career fair at UH (02.24), making fun of Agent Raynor (02.25), and the Hunks of HER for February (02.28).


- While we have been doing the blog posts on the HER site for a while, the one for February hints at a couple of big projects that have been going on (02.29).


- And finally, I would like to officially welcome Agent Voxel on board. It took him a little extra longer to become our new Agent, but I knew he could do it.

=========================

- TaeYeon - Rain (MV)

- Can We Be Too Inspired 

- And I already said it in my last entry, but welcome to the world, Alessandra (02.05). Hopefully I'll meet you soon. I'm very proud of your mother.  

Thank for reading. Be healthy, be safe, be thankful, and be loved.
