Wow. 18 years of schooling. I just had my last exams today and......IM DONNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEE!!!@#$@11dvaderOMGWHOOOWOW.gif. Yes, forever. It all went pretty well, but I guess im satisfied with my marks. I now have my diploma as a "Motive Power technician in the automotive field". Basically, im a Mechanic. Ok, I still have to get my lisence but you get the jist.

Usually summer hits and it becomes the summer of george for me, but I guess those days are over. I still have a little time off, because I want to take some time off plus my whole family moved across the country, and my mom is going to so if I decide to move, I wont be job hunting till then.

Ya, im nervous, but im excited as well to start work. I love my field and I hatttteee school so much so I have a lot to look forward to. I am in no rush though. With MGS coming out soon, its perfect timing for me to bum it out for a bit. Oh man I cant wait. Anyway, Cheers. *Cue Welcometotherealworlda-hole.morpheus.gif*

2007 was a crazy year. Especially when you look at it compared to the last few years, its been awsome. I gamed a lot more this year than I did last, which is wierd since its my last year in college . Oh well, gaming is more important than life. I decided to make a list of random themes to evaluate my year. First up:

Game I played most : Warhawk

Its kindof unfair since I had this game longer than most but its a game I kept coming back to. My ps3s friend list is damn short but ironically i have more people that I can play with on a weekly basis that will actually play with me compared to 360. This game is still as fun today as when I first started playing it. Hell, its way more fun now that I know what im doing, and my friend and I setup crazy strategies. I cant wait for the expansion.

Favourite Game Concept: Assassins Creed

This doesn't really tell you what I thought of the game cause even the worst game in the world can win this award. What it does mean is that I loved what the game tried to do. I loved the setting, the character, the ambition. Assassins Creed tried something new and this franchise really has a lot going for it. When I think of possible sequels...yum!

Biggest Disappointment: Assassins Creed

I guess that does tell you what I thought of this game . Heres how the game went down. First level: hmm this is weird Second level: WOW this is awsome, I cant wait to play more!! Third Level: Nice, ok, i know how to play now, lets see whats next. Fourth level: Uh oh.. Fifth level: "me mimicking the characters speech" Six level: FOR THE LOVE OF GOD Seventh level: oh god i can still return this before i get a late fee...must finish this torture quick!! Probably the worst game design i've ever witnessed. They spent way to much time on the climbing aspect/graphics and forgot about MISSIONS. What a stupid lazy way of giving up on a game. If the game was setup like Splinter cell where you do real missions, get intel, move on, etc. it would be a lot better. I hate how the game breaks up after each assassination, it totally ruins the flow of the game. 4.5 confirmed

WTF You havent played it Yet!!??: Mass Effect

Man I need to play this game. According to my blockbuster, the shipment was stolen similar to HEAT with de niro and the truck heist. Two people were shot. Many injured. My christmas holiday starts Friday at 3 pm and I will find this game, mark my words.

Most fun I had with a game: Uncharted

The game was simply a blast from start to finish. Not once did I get bored. The graphics blew me away more than any game this year, especially the vistas. I loved the story too. it wasnt the best story ever or anything but the way it was told felt like a good movie and not some cheesy game story. It just did a good job with emotion and kept you wanting to know whats going to happen next. It probably wasn't the best game of the year, but it definitely was the most fun I had with one.

Game I will play in 2008: UT3

There just isnt enough time to play it. COD4, PGR4, Warhawk, there isnt time. But i owe it to my self to play it since the first gave me so much memories and tbh I owe it to UT to play it. I will pick it up when its 30.

Game i will play until the Forever : COD4

YES! Multiplayer done right. This game is awsomeeeeeeeeeeee! The only thing holding this game back is the retarded AI. The missions were awsome and very intense. Awsome graphics, awsome setting/guns. i never want to see WW2 again. This game stole so much players from halo on my friends list and for good reason. I love a game that is competitive and strategic.

Thats it for now. As I said it was just random things, not things you would see on GS's GOTY categories or anything. if i think of more I will add them.

Its Friday, my bro and friends jacked the T.V. and my friends are gay so I got nothing to do. I guess i'll write a blog (its the cool thing to do these days)

I've noticed that there is a new/semi new gaming trend with "Next Gen". Lets look at games from the past for a moment. Syphon Filter. MGS. Mission Impossible. Thats a few random games I thought of. Lets look at New gen. Gears of war, Oblivion, Dead Rising, Uncharted, etc. What different about these? The locals. If you were to look at the ps1 games, you would see they go from snowy mountains, exotic places, modern cities, all in one game. Now, most likely because of technology, or game engines, they are mostly contrived of one type of setting. If you look at gears, its mostly those war torn buildings. Ya they threw in that ugly underground level, but there is no way they could have made a snow level with that engine in that time. Look at uncharted. Its mostly tropical islands with some indoor levels that will probably suck. Oblivion is another example.

Ofcourse there is always exceptions, like Splinter cell (although i thought the levels looked inconsistent but it was ok), but i just feel the better looking the game, the less likely we are to see completely different locations. (gtfo crysis, im trying to prove a point, but Far Cry works). A lot of times games will cheat but making one setting, then throwing in a "hell" level that never looks good just to change it up. (the darkness, oblivion, etc) Anyway, I dont really have much more evidence, its just a problem I hope doesnt escalate.
