There's also not exactly a lot of things to go and see in my hometown either...

Haha yeah, seeing how it is now. Better to see the place in-person as the photos I took for you that one time hasn't changed much and that doesn't give the real feel. As for the people, colleague-wise barring myself and my sister there's around 6 or 7 left that still work for the store that should know who you are and some people who left occasionally shop there still, so if you're lucky you might see one of those not working there. I could be missing some people though. Yeah it's that low, and yeah that number's for right now, who knows if any more of them throws in the towel before you do get to visit.
Yay our town, with nothing in it. Couldn't tell you about anything new brought apart from that Escape Room that I've...not checked out yet. Darn it.

@ Mr EliteL: Depends on whether you're just counting people on the sales floor, since there are a few people on cashiering who I knew and tend to ask my mum about how I'm doing. I expect there's probably zero management or team leader positions that hold anyone I know, since most likely got moved to other stores or just left the company outright.
And yeah, I don't doubt that little has changed overall with the town itself. The only major thing I know that happened since I left was the Sainsbury's plaza being built on the edge of town which was in the planning stages when I still lived there, but I can't say I'm dying to go and see that.

Ah yes the cashiers, yeah I forgot about them. Was the M&S petrol station and KFC there too when you were here? I could walk down there but don't. I need to someday.

Hmm.... this is going to be hard to narrow down. XD
- LittleBigPlanet 2 - Quite possibly my most beloved game of all time. It's still the only game that has a trailer I can get emotional over, and it was just such a special game that I don't think will ever be seen again in gaming. By that, I mean although there may be others similar to it like LBP3, Mario Maker, Dreams, etc. they just don't capture that seem feeling that game does. It's the highest point of the community created content genre for me.
Ugh, I've sat here for like.....20 minutes trying to even begin picking two other games but I can't decide what to go with yet. I'll just share the one I have because I know that won't change, and I'll try and figure out what the other two are while you or anyone else potentially ask more questions.
You've had a month to ponder it over. What would your second favorite be? Also props for LBP2. It's the first Collector's Edition game I ever purchased.

Man it's tough, but for the other two as a shot in the dark I'd say possibly Ape Escape and God of War (PS4). It's tough because there are some games I adore like BotW, but I also know it has a lot of shortcomings so objectively it can't really rank higher than those other two games as an overall package. TLoU is another where I think the story is superb, but the gameplay itself doesn't really hold up too well.

Haha, that's probably my answer to "What do you miss about Florida/US?". Another thing is if I were inside, I'd probably get the temptation to run outside in the rain, that's how much better the rain is there.

Whereas other states I feel like there's always something interesting going on with the scenery, like when we went to GDQ.

Wherever PAX was was neat too but I think the food there was awfully lacking for how much of an urban area we were in.
