I couldn't abandon the VGU- pardon me, GUN community. Never ever.
The reason(s) behind my prolonged absence was/were mainly due to the final whistle of my spring semester in school, but also due to buying a ton of wicked new games, pranking Hannah, meeting who my friends describe as my soul mate (a beautiful girl named Savannah (who plays fuckin' BATTLEFIELD and GTA!)), and hanging out with my friends. I got kind of burned out on Fallout: NV for a while; not permanently, for my Republic Commando's tale will have an ending, but the long story short is that I still have a pulse and haven't pulled a hit-and-run to get mods and GTFO.
