I'm back, hopefully for good this time. Actually got Shenmue setup on nullDC last night and didn't get as much sleep as I should have because of it :). I've only been back on the boards a couple days but the happiness I'm getting from the nostalgia is something else.
I'm in Chicago still, working for a financial firm as a systems admin. Graduated from DePaul University 5 years ago with a degree in Network Engineering. Getting married this October on Halloween and life is going pretty damn well. Can't wait for Shenmue 3 and am very much looking forward to catching up with everyone.
I actually first heard about the Shenmue 3 news right before the Blackhawks won the cup, it was a great night \:D/
