Ok, I've had Starcraft sitting on my desk for a few years, but never got around to playing it. I installed it once before, and played a little bit of the SP, and I thought it was allright. I was just sort of stuck on console gaming and sort of forgot about SC. Haha.

But recently, a friend of mine who plays and loves SC, finally convinced me to get on battle.net and play some multiplayer with him. And I gotta say... The multiplayer action is so fast, hectic, and incredible. I loved it. It was so fun, yet so frustrating because, like I said, I had no idea the action on battle.net was so fast-paced, and you really have to manage your units. Now I know, this has already gotten to be second nature for some people.

For example, for those of you who watch American football, and in particular those who play the QB position. When people say that the speed of the game transitioning from college to the pro's is so much faster. But after a while, the game "slows down" for them as they adjust, learn, and grow accustomed to the speed of the game. So I just need more experience and the speed of the SC gameplay will just grow on me.

Again though, it was fun, amazing, and I'll definitely be playing as much as I can to prepare for SCII.

Also, I recently received Call of Duty 4 for the 360 as a gift. I've yet to play it though... . I haven't played it though yet, because of not only SC, but also another game in which I have no idea how I haven't played it the last 10 years. And that would Zelda: Ocarina of Time, which I got from the VC on the Wii.

Before playing OoT a few days ago, I had only previously played it literally for about 10-15 minutes at a friend's house. OoT is another game though that has been really enjoyable so far, and was also a gift for me. You might be asking, what's up with all these gifts? Wasn't Christmas a few weeks ago? Haha. Yeah, they were just sort of late Christmas gifts, along with what I did get during the holidays, so no worries. I'm enjoying OoT, especially because it incorporates just about all types of elements of a game you'd like to have all in one game. Action, adventure, story, little bit of humor, and for being a 10 year old game, it doesn't look too bad.

This has definitely been one of the greatest gaming weeks ever for me, and I hope those of you who have yet to play SC or OoT will at least try it out for a little just to see whether or not you like it or not. Thx again, and I'll talk to you guys later.

I am now officially the proud owner of a Nintendo Wii. I got a scare though over the weekend, because apparently somethin was wrong on the label of the package box, I think the zip code, but it was cleared up, and I received it today. Ha, what great timing to get a Wii on Christmas Eve.

Anyways, I need to get some games though... Sort of broke right now, so I can't actually get any new games. Hopefully, I'll be able to borrow a game or two from a friend of mine for the time being.

I'm also hoping to get some friend code numbers from Wii owners right here at GS.

I'd also like to wish everyone Happy Holidays, and if you're traveling, have a safe trip.

I did one blog, then completely forgot to actually use this again. lol.

Anyways, hope everyone is doing great. Work and school have been going allright for me. I got my very first joystick a couple weeks ago, and have been practicing with it as much as I can. I honestly didn't think I would adjust to it as quickly as I have already, but I'm far from perfect, so I'm gonna keep it going and going until it gets to be second nature for me.

I must be one of the few though people that owns a 360 that does not have Halo 3 yet. Haha. I'm just really tight with money right now, and haven't been able to buy anything recently. I even need a new mic, since mine apparently stopped working a few weeks ago. Sort of my own fault though cuz I spilled a little bit of iced tea on it.

Now hopefully, I'll actually remember to update this blog at least once in a while. Heh. Take care!
