Deacon Gets Re-Routed
Well folks…you’re going to have to just love the stateside version of me because I wasn’t able to make the flight to Tokyo for TGS. A pretty serious family situation came up that took precedence over any flight travels…one such being the flight to Tokyo to bring you all some Tokyo Game Show goodies. I was really looking forward to going and meeting up with the guys at Gamerscoreblog, Major Nelson and just having a good time representing the Xbox community.
But alas, I am still stateside but believe that the one thing that could’ve prevented me from going happened and I had to devote immedate attention to the situation. I want to send my thanks to Tony Hynes for understanding the situation and not delaying for one second in telling me to take care of home before all else.
Sorry I couldn’t throw down the Deac way ladies and gents. I’ll see if I can still gather myself and bring some TGS to you even though it won’t be firsthand. Hopefully, I’ll be invited again for next year’s TGS. Until then, let’s get on with the show shall we.

Hey Deacon. I completely understand. Family always comes first and it looks like you definately got your priorities correct. I hope your mom is doing well and know that the community is here for yout and your family.
September 19th, 2006 at 2:32 pm
Family before all else. I pray that all is well.
September 19th, 2006 at 3:56 pm
My thoughts are prayers are with you and your family Deac! Would of been great to have you covering the event in true Unscripted style but sounds like MS is going to give us a great ring side seat. You definately made the right choice in taking care of the family.
