Hi, this is Driller from the administration team.

It is unfortunately that time of the year once again. Summer is ending, we will all be going back to school with the start of another brand new school year in a couple weeks. It's nice to go to school if you're tired of sitting at home all summer or maybe wanting to socialize with all those friends you never got to see over the summer. I've got a couple things to say in order to get you back into the school spirit. You've still got another month before you have to do this.

If you didn't hear this way back in June, May 31, 2018, marked the end of an era for The Real Driller, as I'm finally done with high school and I'm now off to college. If you saw some of my latest Instagram posts, Chuhou Joutai is going along very well, though I'm still working on the engine. In fact, you will now see Susumu Takajima and Kagami Ochiai on the home page thanks to a new banner. For those wanting to know, I will be attending Mercyhurst University in Erie, Pennsylvania, where I am pursuing an IT major and a music minor. I just got home from their summer Create Program, where you get to experience college life for three weeks.

August is meant to be the month of adventure, and as part of their program, I decided to make the pilgrimage to Niagara Falls, which I do every year. The last time I made the pilgrimage was in January of 2017. There wasn't very much snow in the Buffalo metropolitan area. You can say it's kinda like the Mecca of the US and Canada and is best known as the birthplace of The Real Driller on the American side.

Have you visited Niagara Falls before? Yes, I have! No, but I've heard of the falls. No, I've never heard of the falls before.

If you've never been to Niagara Falls before, consider making the pilgrimage. Over 30 million people visit the falls every year.

Anyways, here are some of the new games that are coming this August:
 * On August 3, a new installment in the WarioWare series, WarioWare Gold, is finally coming to Nintendo 3DS. Remember when the WarioWare games were launch titles for the Nintendo DS and Wii? Really a good time if you want to get back into the WarioWare games.
 * The HD remaster of Okami is also coming to Nintendo Switch on August 9.
 * Electronic Arts has got more with Madden NFL 19 for the PS4, Xbox One, and PC on August 10.
 * Remakes of the first two Shenmue games from the Dreamcast finally hit the shores of the PS4, Xbox One, and PC on August 21 after two decades.

This is Driller signing off.
