There's been a fan event that has been sorely lacking in our industry. We have Penny Arcade expo which is a great general gaming event and there's Comic-con, which covers a portion of the gaming industry. GenCon also has a side show for gaming, but nothing really focuses on the special needs of the MMO player. A lot of games hold their individual events, but just because a person plays one game doesn't mean they wouldn't like to socialize with others playing other games, right?

I know it's been a heck of a long time since I've personally done any meaningful updates. I was waylayed by another job that took all the time I had in my life, including time I should have spent with my family. Thank goodness that's over and I can breathe again!

So we're in the process (the family and I) of moving to the great state of Texas! All you Texas out there, holla! We're very excited about the move and the opportunities it represents. But this also means I'm going to have time to devote again to my baby, Killer Betties.

There's a little applet on Facebook called PackRat that I just adore! It appeals to all my collector instincts, and I have many. I am an admitted Facebook addict anyway, I just love reading everyone's daily updates and seeing the pictures people put up and playing co-op on PackRat with Katie Postma! The nice thing is that when you need a little break from your daily grind, there it is, waiting for you to waste 15 minutes.

So I've been up to a couple of fun things lately. One is Age of Conan and someday I'll get around to writing about my experiences in that game. The other thing I've been messing around with is Wii Fit.

I'm in terrible shape. I'm a wee bit overweight, but nothing that I'm desperate to lose. But I am by no means fit. So when Wii Fit finally came out in the states (those in Europe got it first for a change!), I went down to my local Toys R Us first thing in the morning and grabbed me a copy.

It's true, perhaps I should focus more on Killer Betties. It's a great site with a great idea and I want it to succeed. It appears that my last partner has taken to the sky without even letting me know! (Ouch) So it took me this long to even notice (doh!)

But after a lot of thought, I've decided I'm not just going to let the site die. As a result, I'm in dire need of anyone who can help, with reviews (we do lots of casual game reviews, so it's quick and easy to do those as well as the more hardcore gamer games), news and blogging.

Sitting on the plane traveling from Indianapolis to Los Angeles, I ponder the upcoming conference still named E3, but which will not be like any E3 that has come before it. My hopes and expectations are high, a far cry from where they were but months ago, when I had first received my invitation. At that time, I felt it might be too exclusive, too small, to have any real purpose. Since then, though, I've made more than two dozen appointments with publishing houses to see all they will show in Santa Monica.
