With just over a year since my last one (previous PS3 broke November 8th, 2009), my PS3 has decided to fail on me again. The one I was using was a refurbished 60GB BC that Sony had sent me since my last one was not fixable. I figured that it wouldn't last very long, and I was right.

Yesterday I was playing Borderlands and while I was playing the system just shut itself off. I turned it back on and everything was fine for the rest of the night. Today I turned it on and played for about 15 minutes and then it died for good. This is exactly what happened the last time: power supply failure.

I'm pretty annoyed because I was really enjoying Borderlands, and I think I was getting close to the end of the game. I'll most likely have to redo all of it. I'm hoping that my saved data will still be there when I get my system back.

In the meantime, I already went and bought a new PS3 Slim to fill the void. It may sound dumb for buying for owning 2 PS3's but one of them is a potential gift. If I get my broken PS3 back and all my saved data is there, the Slim will be my brother's Christmas gift. If it's not there, I keep the Slim and he gets the one sent from Sony.

Well that's about it for now. I'll be picking up my copy of the God of War Collection to be playing all weekend. Can't wait to play through those again. I still have Demon's Souls to play through as well as Tekken 6. Borderlands will have to wait since it's trapped in my PS3...

This is just going to be a short blog of the games that I have bought as of late. If you have heard already, Best Buy has a buy 2 get 1 free deal going on until Sunday 11/1.

I decided to get Demon's Souls, Borderlands, and Tekken 6. Since there were a few other games I wanted as well, my friend who I'm visiting in Ohio right now got R&C, Batman: Arkham Asylum, and Uncharted 2. That way when he is home we can trade off games and I'll be able to play all of them.

For the month of November, Modern Warfare 2 and the God of War Collection are on my list of purchases. Well that's pretty much it. Just a quick update. Oh and Happy Halloween to all of you. Stay out of trouble

What's up everyone? In case you didn't notice (which would be very likely), I was inactive on GS for the past week or so due to me being suspended.

Now what could a nice guy like myself (debatable) have done to get suspended?

To be as brief as possible in order to avoid another possible suspension, a topic was created on SW saying "I thought the PS3 was supposed to be for mature gamers". The TC noted that Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 does not feature blodd in it. Since I am fairly annoyed by people who have not played the game saying it has no blood, I got irritated. In my post I said, "anyone who thinks that game does not have blood is being moronic." Flaming= 7-Suspension. Yay...

With all that aside, I was tagged by tagyhagto do an about me type thing. She's a very cool user and very knowledgeable about video games. I did a blog a long time ago saying 10 things you did not know about me, so some of these will be repeats. Well, here we go:

And to end this, I though I would include a picture of myself for those of you who do not know what I look like. This picture is from when I was 18, but it's the most recent one I have of me:
