Hello lovely Gamespotters!

Okay, soo I dont mind admitting that today I'm the big 30, mainly because if you reverse the numbers I'm 03.  Heck, that means I'm practically just out of the womb!  With all the great games being released lately, its a great time to be 03 years old =P

I recently picked up the WoW expansion, "Wrath of the Lich King", (eBay), and it was funny because it was being sold by someone in Los Angeles, which is pretty close.  So its been like a week and I start wondering where it is.  Well last night I buzzed in a family member at the gate, or I thought it was anyway.  Turns out it was the guy I bought the game from, he came to drop it off, as the post office sent it back to him, even though it had my new address on it.  Nice of him to come by and drop it off, I thought.

I dont have too much planned for my 3rd birthday here, but hopefully I can get in some gaming time amidst the family, friends and various strangers who will undoubtedly be stopping by.

Hello yummy Gamespotters!

I just got my laptop back yesterday, yay! Apparently they had to replace the motherboard and optical drive. Was nice of them to return my Spore disc too, as it was in the drive when I took it in.

Laptop Pros:

-Can play WoW with graphics nearly maxed out (everything maxed but shadows). My desktop barely runs it on low settings (at 800x600).

-I can be on GS lots more

-I can play games like Red Alert 3 (which I probably wont buy =P)

Laptop Cons:

-I can tune out family and friends much easier (this should be in the pro section)

-I can be on GS lots more

-More eBay!

In other news Ive started Fallout 3. I love the whole growing up in Vault 101 scene, especially the baby book that explains skill points. I reached the town of Megaton and did a research quest that involved scouting the nearby busted wal mart. I still havent figured out lockpicking or computer hacking, but both of those skills are pretty low. Ive been focusing on small guns, speech and medicine, though I'd like to up the repair skill, since theres a few quests I need a decent repair skill for.

Have a great week!

Hello nice lovely Gamespotters!

Its been awhile since Ive done it (like a few days), but I went to the local Gamestop and picked up some new games. Overweight guy #21 stood behind the counter, eyeing me closely, probably already picking me as his next meal, not that it would hurt him if he skipped a few here and there (not that Im against overweight guys, it just seems more of them work at Gamestop than anywhere else hehe). They had a ton of Gears of Wars 2 cases on display, some shinier than others (you know even the collectors edition guide is shiny?) I must admit, even I, a self proclaimed FPS hater, was tempted. But with the steady stream of hot new releases, it was a daunting task finding the right games, but I think I made a couple good picks, either way.

I soon came away with:

Its so hard to resist a nifty looking lunchbox like that! (and it comes with fallout 3, which is much better than a peanut butter and jelly sandwich...I guess..I think theres other stuff in it too, I havent opened it yet).

I also picked up:

I'll definitely let you guys know how its going with both of them, (you know, once I actually rip off the shrinkwrap, pass out from the new game smell, regain consciousness and begin playing!)

For those of you with new games this week as well, have a great weekend! (Oh and people without new games should have a great weekend too....I suppose =P)

Some people just don't have opinions. Like Allicrombie.
Allicrombie must really love MovieTome and agree with every review we've ever written! What other reason could Allicrombie possibly have for not rating a single film?
