I am bored. My friends are on vacation, I'm not getting any better at guitar so I'm stuck playing East Jesus Nowhere (YouTube it if you haven't heard of it) over and over again, and my brother is playing Harvest Moon 24/7 so I can't play Overlord 2 which I just got. Overlord is really fun, excluding one extremely boring part where you had to sail around and find keys to open a door. Although you did send baby seals into a minefield which exploded and killed an elf which could as well been the president of PETA. That was good. But yeah, the camera is annoying, but it is just plain FUN, which is what games should be in the first place.

I got a guitar by the way. I should probably be practicing right now, but I have to babysit my brother and sister, and I don't want to hear them complain when I bring my guitar downstairs and start playing. I have learned all of two and a half songs so far (Smells like Teen Spirit, East Jesus Nowhere, and half of Welcome to Paradise), so it's starting to get repetitive. I would write songs, but I don't know scales or music theory at all yet, so I can't write a half decent song. One of my friends also plays guitar, but he's already in a band with two guitarists, which is pretty much the most you can have unless you're Lynard Skynard or Slipknot. I still suck anyway. Guitar is a lot more challenging than saxophone though, and I still don't seem to have the hang of strumming the correct strings on a consistent basis. Comes with time I suppose.

Actually, I also have Lost Planet now, but my computer can barely run it, even though it has most of the "recommended" system requirements. Also, the game won't let me play online yet, do I have to beat the game first or something? Whenever I click on online play the game just gives me a beeping noise and nothing happens. I mean, the single-player is okay, but I want to play online! The whole T-ENG thing is kind of annoying, as it feels like I'm rushed, even when I have over 1500 T-ENG. Not to mention that I often have to run out of cover to get the T-ENG, and ironically take damage, and lose T-ENG. T-ENG is a stupid name anyway, why can't they call it, I don't know... ENERGY? Although I like the fact that you have to hit the Akrid's weak spot to kill them, it adds an extra element of strategy. Basically, the game is meh so far, but I'll play on and see where it goes.

By the way, I've been a GameSpot member for 1 year over two weeks ago. Didn't even notice. =P

See you guys later.

I just beat this game today, because I wanted to catch up in the story for the release of 358/2 Days later this year. It was a great game, but I seemed to love it for its story more than the actual gameplay. Don't get me wrong, the gameplay was good, but the story is probably one of my favorites in a video game ever. Much better than the first one in my opinion. The addition of the Organization added a whole layer to the story, as well as Roxas' story (trust me, these aren't spoilers, because you start to learn about them within the first hour). My only beef with the Organization is that you never hear from the leaders of the Heartless after the first half of the game, until the VERY end. Even then, they leave you hanging with what exactly happens with them. However, there were some FANTASTIC twists that I only saw coming because I accidentally spoiled the game reading an article about 358/2 Days...

*If you want to discuss the twists in the plot, do so in the comments. So as a warning for the ones who haven't beaten it yet, there will be spoilers.*

Anyway, this series is still one of my favorites. The first game is the first one I really liked as a little kid (like 8 ), so this series holds a special place in my heart, as Super Mario Bros. or Final Fantasy might for some of you. Every time I play a Kingdom Hearts game I get this nostalgic feeling, a feeling which is only matched by the Pokemon games. If KHIII ends up on the PS3 exclusively I will be pissed, to say the least. However, hopefully the fact that FFXIII is on both the 360 and the PS3 is a good sign.

Hope you all have a great Summer.

I haven't wrote a blog in a while, and I'm kind of in the mood to write one. So here goes.

Well, I finally beat Lost Odyssey. I beat nearly all optional bosses as well, and this includes the Temple of Enlightenment. Difficult but fun. Also, the ending is really damn good. I won't spoil anything, but it is REALLY good. At least I thought so.

Also, I'm one mission away from officially beating Halo 3 on Legendary (even if most of it was on co-op...). Despite what you may think, the mission I need to beat is not Cortana. I got a good group of guys together and we ran through that one fairly quickly. Nope, I just need Halo. I'll get a friend or something to beat it with, one of my real life friends is playing through the campaign on Legendary right now anyway, I'll probably co-op with him. Yeah, I co-op a lot. In fact, the only mission I beat by myself on Legendary was Floodgate, which is arguably the easiest mission in the campaign. EDIT: Now beaten.

By the way, did any of you hear the news about the E74 warranties? E74 errors have been on the rise since the NXE update, so they extended the warranty for these errors to three years. If anyone had to pay for the repairs for this error, they will pay the person back. This is the error I got when my Xbox broke, so I'm pleased.

Not much else to talk about. Hope you all had a pleasant Easter.
