A pity, how this site became obsolete. When the Sam/Nin Group was disbanded, it seems that this site lost much of its purpose; though it was fun while it lasted.

These days, I've been occupied with other projects and other sites. The latest would have to be the launching of a new product line with Freytech; I spent so many hours preparing documentation and, still, I have not finished.

However, on a good note, I seem to be backtracking, that is, sort of like reverting to my former self. I've been buying and watching lots of anime, I even bought a console and tv for a video game I was waiting for. Couple years back, I came across White Knight Chronicles and saw something beautiful, so I prepared for its release state-side. After it came out in North America, I bought myself a new PS3 Slim, a Samsung 52-inch television, and the HDMI cables. It only made sense that if I was to get the game, I would play it in an optimal environment, so I bought all the right equipment. So far, the game's been great, very enjoyable; I haven't gotten past a quarter of the story and I've already logged 40 hours of game-play, so this is gonna prove to be a worthwhile purchase.

My latest trip to Japan is coming up soon, although I had to postpone it because of the product launch; now I've thinking of heading over in July. Anime Expo is gonna feature Shinichi "Nabeshin" Watanabe, who directed Excel Saga (an anime that Gus and I are very big fans of), so it only made sense that I would fly over to Los Angeles to meet him. Last night, while talking to Steve Bennett over Skype, he told me to ask for Watanabe's business card on his behalf, apparently he lost his address and wants to reconnect now that he's living in Japan (sound good to me). So after the show, I think I'll hop over to Tokyo and take care of business while I'm there, then head down to Iwakuni to meet the new marketing director of MCCS. Overall I think it's a swell plan and I might be able to right-off an extended vacation as a business trip if I take care of enough matters. (^_^)

Aside from that, not much else going on. A few other matters I'm taking care, but perhaps worth mentioning in another rant (hopefully it doesn't take a year from me to post something again). So for now, a "Howdy" to all as I sign off till the next.

Hey everyone, Its jota ranting. I'm actually ranting from my room on my PC, but not from my hardrive since my Father sent it to Panama (not by accident either...). So Now I have to wait for my drive to get back so that I can get my files back. Theres a lot of work I backed up, but a lot I didn't... I hope it gets back safely.

Aside from that I've been working on Redeeming Darkness most of all. Even then my pace is not the speed that I (or anyone else involved in the project) desires and hopefull Ill have the first ten pages done soon.

SAMNIN is on hold, though I find myself occasionally dreaming about scenarios and new ideas that I think would be cool. After RD I'd like to focus all my new experience and skills and mabey writing on SAMNIN.

Ofcoarse there are all the other projects that I haven't tpouched in a while. Ngears, is still collecting dust but everytime I succeed in completing a page on RD I feel all the other stuff still has hope.

Lastly there is Zlucy, I'm currently independantly working on it, though I do plan on having Gus (writer for RD) to help me a little on the story half of the... story. I'll post up more updates on that as soon as their available since all I have ready is a logo and a splash page.

Till next rant, Jorge

I know its been a long time. I do however check the site on my phone at least 3 times a week. I'm just unable to rant from it and Josh has already made it clear that he won't be making it available since he doesn't want "One liners." Thats fine.
