9 Months? Yeah this is Pretty Neglected

Well hello again, it has been a while hasn't it? Guess I didn't have as much to say as I thought I had the last (and first) time I posted here, well I guess its time to say the Kaisers back at the Kastle... well thats not strictly true. Alot has changed over the past few months my friends and I'll try to recount it all as I throw up this update and write a little about what I hope to do with the blog now I feel I have some stuff to say

First of all the name change, sure I still exist in places like Azeroth, Xbox Live, Forums and to the people in the UK Fury communtiy as Kaiser. The main change has been within the Scottish Fighting Game Community where I seemingly went pretty unnoticed as Kaiser until the 1 night, shortly after I'd written this blog where "THE JANITOR" was born.

Spawned from my need to be loud and to cover up for the fact I knew the particular Random team at the 3v3 Randoms tournament. I boasted that I was going to send my teammates (Karmillo and Elliot, great guys, shame we stood no chance with me captaining) in first then "Like a Janitor I was going to Come in and Mop up!" and thus the persona of "The Janitor" Was born...

But what else have I been doing since I last posted....

Continued through College: Made it through to the end of the course, missing a few units but scraped through to the next year. Awesome Class I had this year definetly some Top Tier Banter up in there

D-Con: The weekend of my Birthday with what money I had, I descided to take a trip through to Dundee, where A) I Caught up with Steph and met some of her awesome friends up there and then proceded to bore them half to death (Although they never complained) to B) The Street Fighter 4 tournament at the Anime Convention, Where I bumped into Branstar, DEF and Meowmix before I registered, signing up as "The Janitor", I also met Hamish from an Edinburgh tournament I played in and we probably had the most epic 1 round 1 game set you'd have seen outside of the stupid games idiots set up online. Was a fun day, the orgonization wasnt the best. But at least theres still a running joke about it, maybe next year we'll see something better :D

Subway: Working again at Subway, thankfully Sean manages to wrangle our jobs back by Camping outside the store on days when people were being interviewed, pestering our manager David, and BOOM were back in there as Supervisors. All in all pretty good, especially since the student loan doesnt go that far

Super Street Fighter 4 Ranking Battles: Once again back at ESC Games in Glasgow for the 3rd Ranking battles season, catching up with all the guys and meeting some New and downright Scary good faces, Was a fun season with me finishing up in the top 8, somehow I might add.

The College/Work Dilemma: As of typing I am awaiting a phonecall back about I job I was interviewed for last week. The job is Fill and Pack operator at the Syngenta plant in Grangemouth, With good money, good prospects and a chance to get some experience in Industry It seems like a golden oppertunity to go somewhere new in life. But after being back at college a few days, it all came back how much fun I had and despite the apparent apathy I can show, I am generally interested and do like going to class. So as of now I'm sitting on the crossroads with no Idea where to go. It's Scary yet exciting. So watch this space as who knows where I might end up

As for this blog I will hopefully remember to keep updating it (Bookmarking it as we speak) and I'll use it as a platform to review Movies I've seen recently, I've been wanting to do this ever since seeing Scott Pilgrim vs The World as I just loved that movie and it's just given me the feeling that I should be voicing my opinion on things just for the sake of doing it. Also reviewing games I've played, I know I'm not the best gamer in the world but I talk about them all the time, my Passion if you will, and I'd love to share that with you all too. Also updates on the Fighting Game Scene, I know I'm still a relative newcommer to the Scene in general but my 1 1/2 years of going to events around the country and having love enough for the game to see the scene grow and be a part of it, I feel its my duty to post what I can about whats going on in the scene, with games in general, reviews of Tournaments I've played in and anything else I can do to bring the Scottish playerbase closer and have a bigger, thriving, competitive, friendly community.

Well thats All I have time for, college beckons as I need to see what the Wednesday classes are like. I thank you all for taking the time to read this, comments or messages are always appreciated, ask me anything you want I'll be more than happy to answer and I hope you'll be reading Next time, until then...

Keep it Clean
