Well it has been a while since my last blog post. I have been really busy with work and other things so while i have been dropping in a haven't really done more then lurking around. It also looks like I picked a hell of a time to come back to gamespot with Jeff Gate and all these people leaving Gamespot over it.
Kind of sucks I was going to try to be a little more active but if most of the community leaves I don't see much reason to. It looks like 1up's forums are where most of the "GameSpot Refugees" are heading to so I guess if enough leave I will head over there my account i made over there a while ago is still good.
As for my Opinion on this whole Jeff thing well. I never have really agreed with any of the Gamespot reviews for a while now, but i still did read them over along with others to try and get a feel of the game so this doesn't really change much in terms of my feeling on the reviews. Just that now when I try to get a feel on if a game is worth buying I won't even bother to check out GameSpot's review like I used to.
Though I really feel bad for the Staff still left after this and even more for the ones who write the reviews. As no matter what pretty much anything they say and score they give will get the response of either they developer/publisher didn't pay enough and that is why they got a bad score or they paid for that good score. I don't know about you but if I was a reviewer at Gamespot i think i would be looking for a new job. I couldn't work knowing that people can't trust my review is my honest opinion or that if the developer doesn't like my "tone" in the review i could show up with my office door locked one day.
Well that is my two cents on this.
Oh if you like RPGs you have to play The Witcher so far that is the best RPG i have played in many years.
Well that pretty much sums up my life for the past week or two.
I got a new job which is good since it pays more then may last one and I can finally get an actual set schedule instead of having to come in at different times like at my last job, but it requires me to get my A+ Certification in two weeks. So that pretty much means that I have been spending most of my time studying for the exam. So far I know most of the answers about hardware, but I really have to study the OS and networking parts if I am going to pass. Oh god how I hate the OS questions, but for the most part networking seems pretty easy.
So that should explain why I haven't been posting much on the forums even though my last blog entry said I was back. I figure in about two weeks after I pass the exams I will have more free time to catch up on a few games and spend on the forums.
Let's see it has been well I while since my last blog so i guess I will start from the top.
First I bought a Wii about a month ago yes I broke down and grabbed one. Well I can say that so far the Wii-mote isn't all some hype it to be. Sure it is fun and new for a while, but after that it starts to lose it luster. Honestly I think it is pretty much a gimmick and I am glad the Wii isn't my only console. The Wii is the perfect addition for someone who already has a Ps3(like me) a 360 or both, but by itself the Wii just isn't enough.
Let's see my Ps3 is doing fine and giving me no problems which i must admit was unexpected. Giving Sony's track record with console hardware and all the reports of the 360's having problems I thought that the Ps3 would have its fair share as well. So far though it is perfect. Maybe Sony has learned from their past mistakes finally becuase my Ps3 and every body elses seems to be problem free.
I have been playing a few games lately like Flow(oh I just remembered that Oblivion wanted impressions of that game so i will do that soon), Supreme Commander, and Company of Heroes, Virtua Fighter 5.
Speaking of games it seems that the Ps3 is finally out of its gaming drought it had since launch which is very good news for me. In fact 2007 looks to be a good year for games on all systems.
