I finally got my financial aid on November 4 (my birthday) and as soon as I got it I bought a PS3. So far I have four games for it: Metal Gear Solid 4, Killzone 2, Resistance 2, and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. I love Modern Warfare 2, I've been playing it almost all day between classes. I'm already almost done with the campaign, I completed a few missions in spec ops and I played some multiplayer. I already unlocked the red dot scope for the M4. Since I just bought my PS3 I don't have any friends on PSN yet. My username is MR_HANKEY_69, so if you got a PSN account and want to play some Modern Warfare 2 with me then send me a friend request. I also have the multiplayer beta for MAG, which is okay, but I don't like how you can only play as one faction. I also ordered Borderlands and Uncharted 2, so I should get them in the mail soon.

I got an A- on two of my midterms, Physics and Electrical Circuit Analysis, and I got a B on my other midterm for English 252 (Great Works: Medievel to 17th Century Literature). I was expecting to get a C or worse on my English midterm, so I must be a really good guesser. I could have done much better on my Physics and Electrical Circuit Analysis midterms, which were both easy. I accidentally left out a 5 in one of the questions and miscalculated in Electrical Circuit Analysis, otherwise I would have had a perfect score. On my Physics midterm I lost 3 points for not calculating wavelength on one of the problems, I must have not noticed that part.

I can't wait to get financial aid. I have to wait for another 4 to 6 weeks, because Cal Poly has been waiting for my mom's tax return. I had her fax it in a couple weeks ago, but she had to fax it again with her signature on it. As soon as I get my financial aid I'm going to get a PS3, because I'm tired of paying Microsoft $50 a year to play games online and I don't want to pay another $100 for their wireless adapter. I should have known that the PS3 would be cheaper in the long run. There are tons of sweet games on the PS3 that I want to play, like MGS4, Killzone 2, Resistance 1 & 2, Uncharted 1 & 2, inFamous, and Ratchet and Clank games. I'm also going to get Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 on the PS3. I don't care if the downloadable maps come out for it later than on the Xbox 360, I'm willing to wait.

Yeah, I don't just want the new PC Gamespot is giving away... I NEED IT!! It's been a long time since my last blog post and I've been through a lot since then. My old gaming rig got stolen, I got arrested a few times, and I was homeless for a while (over 4 months), but it seemed like a long time.

Of course, now I live in a sober living home, I'm back in school and I have an HP mini 1000, which is barely fast and powerful enough to run Windows XP. My current netbook (mini laptop) just doesn't cut it. It's small and very portable, but has a slow processor (Intel Atom 1.6 Ghz), less than a gig of ram, an integrated graphics card, a 16 GB solid state hard drive, and it doesn't even have a disc drive. The only games I can run are NES, SNES, Gameboy Advance and surprisingly N64 mods. I not only need that shiny, new PC for school and programming, but I need it to play my old PC games as well as Crysis and Star Wars: The Old Republic when it comes out. I simply can't afford to buy a new PC, so I'm stuck with my HP mini for now, which I use to check Gamespot daily for reviews, previews and movies of all the games I want. Please, give me the new PC.
