[09/02/2004]   I'm home from my two month sojourn in the Land of the Rising Sun. It's nice to have most of the people I talk to understand English beyond the level of "What is your name?", and as such, I am glad to be back. At the same time, there are a lot of things I like about Japan, and being the curious breed of gamer I am, I hope to return in the very near future.

This is Amish, and I'd also like to apologize for the long delay we've had in Points of View updates. Simon has been without 'net access for quite some time and Zack has been pegged to head up the efforts of the entire Interaction department, not to mention being swamped with his IRL job.

However, excuses can only carry us so far. With that in mind, here's our long overdue PoV update. Enjoy. And, if anyone wants to discuss review matters directly, feel free to email me, and I'll share my IM addresses as well depending on the situation. Either that, or drop by #reviewhaven on EsperNET. We'll be more than happy to help.

Amish out.
