Sounds like it was a well needed break away from it all. I really don't think you missed much, in fact I am pretty sure you did not miss anything earthshakingly new from Hive. Still some drama, still some bitching, still some pictures, still some idiots, so nope nothing new.
Oh that drama and bitching...!!! Sounds like the 'old' me, till I changed my ways and said "screw it all...!!!" Now I'm a happy angry man once again :>)
