Dear Press Start members, (if anyone's out there still)
Although I'm rejected for being an outsider due to going to a different school, I still have more than enough leadership capability to lead a club. However, that is not what I wish to mention today.
What I would like to say is that Summer is upon us once again. What does it entitle us to? First off, work and play. We need to work so we can buy the games that will come out within the next year. I can assure you that I am working 20 hours a week so I can buy the games for the next few months. Play is also upon us, since we have almost nothing in our lackadaisical agendas but to play marathons of games.
The second thing I'd like to mention are Summer releases. There are a multitude of games coming out this summer, such as the long awaited Starcraft 2, Wings of Liberty that came out only a little while ago. Although it is the Terran storyline, we still have the game to tide us over until more expansions come out for our other games.
I'd also like to touch on a third topic: Teasers. Yes, we all know that Black and White, the new Gen 5 games for Pokemon, have been playing teasers since the release of HG and SS in Japan, but we can all look forward to Pokemon Rangers: Guardian Signs as much. The 3DS has also shown it's capability, and the rumors for a 3DS Kingdom Hearts game is also planned to release after April 2011. I can gladly say that the summer is leading up to a pokemon 6 months of events, as well as many many videos of endless gameplay.
Why I bring up gen 5, although being a pokemon fan since the first 2 seasons of the anime and since playing from Gold on, I would like to mention the new advancement of handhelds. (If you wish to avoid a large post-storyline spoiler, skip to the next paragraph. Go on, go ahead.) Gen 5 will bring us into our friend's game. We can interact with their NPCs, and their character themselves, instead of a union room wait. After witnessing this on a Pokemon Sunday video on youtube, I fell very hopeful that post-story line gameplay will be very entertaining, beyond voice chatting using the DS microphone via Nintendo WFC. Triple battles, more realistic images, 3D-like graphics without glasses, and triple battles will bring a new set of strategy, as well as shooting at your gen I-IV pokemon in the new pal park version. This series will also feature game exclusive locations, which is the first big step into less boring, repetitive gameplay.
Beyond the pokemon, we still have so much to look forward to. Anime releases, manga scans, and FFXIV holds the return of Nobuo Uematsu, the greatest composer for the FF series ever, in my opinion. With the MMORPG gameplay accompanying the new story, who knows what lies beyond the doors of beta testing! Summer is only around for 1 more month, we should take advantage and play while school's out of session!

Hope so see most of you in the end of summer, if you survive the summer.
