Late April 2015 Status

I know a lot of people are wondering about the work I owe them, but I am working on them. There are a few personal drawings I want to finish up, but once I finish them, I'll get back to work on the others. I know I owe a couple of my Wheel friends some layouts they commissioned me for, and I plan to resume work on them once my drawings are finished. Hopefully, it'll be later this week. The thing is my work schedule (I work in the parking lot of a small local grocery store for those who don't already know.) has been receiving some major changes due to one co-worker moving into a different department and another quitting. So I am not certain about these changes being permanent or temporary.

I've also been wanting to commission a few people myself as well, but Sunday morning (April 19), my brother and I encountered a problem with our PS3 - the Yellow Light of Death (YLOD). I did some research on this issue, and chances are that the thermal pads need replacing. I'm going to bring in the system to a Play N Trade, where they will have it fixed for $140, unless a lower price can be negotiated. It's still going to take a bit of a bite out of my wallet since I get my paycheck every two weeks.

For those curious about whether or not I'm going to by a PS4 or an Xbox One, the answer to that is not anytime soon. For the moment, there are no games for either system that my brother or I want to play. No Sonic games are planned for either system since SEGA is shifting from consoles to PC and mobile, although this has nothing to do with the failure of Sonic Boom in case anyone's worrying. If any Wheel of Fortune games are planned for either system, that's when I may start planning on getting a PS4 since one of Sony's branches holds the rights to the show. Two Wheel of Fortune games were released for the PS3 compared to only one for the Xbox 360. Furthermore, the game for the 360 is the same as the second game for the PS3.

I do have a Wii U, but I do not have the sole Wheel of Fortune game for the system due to that game being similar to the 360 version only with a lot less features. In fact, the Wii U version of Wheel is worth missing out on. Whatever you do, don't buy it. If you do, you'll wish you didn't. As for Mario Kart 8, I'm looking forward to the second DLC content coming out on Thursday, April 23. In addition to more racing suits (including one for Sonic), a couple of fun tracks from Mario Kart Super Circuit for the GBA (Ribbon Road and Cheese Land) will be two of the tracks included in DLC2.
