November 2, 20084:39 P.M.This is the day that I made my first pre-order. This is gamer history for me. For many of you video game lovers out there (I know who you are), this is a norm, but for me, it was a historic moment... Okay, so it wasn't really all that great. I gotta admit, too, I felt a little nerd-ish by it, but I think lately I've been embracing my nerdiness more (much to my parent's dismay). What game did I pre-order? It should be obvious considering what's coming out in the next couple days... It starts with a G and ends in War... actually it ends in 2, but either way you have it, yes, I pre-ordered Gears of War 2. The reviews so far are saying it's amazing and I don't doubt it. This will be the first time I've ever been able to get a game (on my own) on the release date. It's mostly because up until last summer, I was poor. I didn't have a job, so I couldn't buy anything. All summer long, I've been working two jobs and in the fall I've technically been working three jobs (although two of them have only been on one day of the week each). So lately I've been able to spend a little more money, which is the only reason I was able to get a 360 at all. And, oh my goodness, do I love it. After Gears, though I'm going to have to slow down with my spending. You see, one of my three jobs is refereeing football, but after this Saturday, I have no more games to ref. I'm both relieved (Yay! Sleep on Saturday!), and bummed, because that was a major source of my income... I've also been a little strapped lately because I just got Rock Band 2 (and, oh my goodness, do I love that, too!). One thing I have noticed with that game is that I hate the guitar controller... But I like it, too. It's so much different from Guitar Hero. I'm constantly fumbling to hit the right note and it ticks me off considering how good I was at Guitar Hero (I five-starred everything on GH3 career mode on expert except for Raining Blood. I swear Slayer just sucks...). I'm getting a little more used to it, though, and the little buttons on the bottom can be handy (I said can be. They aren't always...). So what's the point of all this rambling? I don't really know anymore. Hopefully, it's somewhat entertaining. If it is, leave a comment. If not, then... well, you suck... Just kidding (Unless you really do suck...)...Anywho, I'm pumped for Gears 2 and hopefully will be able to last online a little bit better this time around... See you online...
