Praise the Lord. It looks like the problem I was having was only on Internet Ex. Im using Chrome right now, so everything looks good.

Wow, where to start? I guess Ill take in categories like I used to do.

Life (Looks like there's still a bit of trouble here, since I cant seem to increase the font size)

Life's good at the moment. Im now a Senior in High School, which is why I was too busy to come to GS. Hell, I still am really busy, so I decided Im gonna be quiting unions and just chillin in blogs. The other reason I didnt come to GS was because I was scared. I was scared of the reactions I might get from my close ppls. But one thing finally pushed me to come back. This one day I was Brawling online, right? I finished Brawling, and decided to check my friendz roster, just for whatever. As I scroll down, I come upon my buddy Geass. And guess what his sig said. It said: "Where r u Raven? =(" Now, I cant be 100% sure he was referring to moi, but thats how I took it. I felt horrible, and said to myself: "Is this how I repay my good friends? I MUST go back." So, that same day (I think), I logged back into GS, took care of my messages, I PMed some of my good ppls. I was delighted to see that they were ok.

So yeah, thats that. In other news, I have a Wireless Router now, cuz my Nintendo WiFi Connector broke, and *drum rolllllllllllllllllllllllll*.................I got my iPhone in September! W00T! I love it, it was worth the 2 year wait.

Gaming

New games since we last talked? Hmm......Zack and Wiki, FFIV (DS), and........Super Mario RPG.

ZW is crap! I dont know why it has gotten so many good scores. It is way too hard. For a game that basically is all trial and error, it is WAY to punishing. If the game had a simple save or checkpoint system, my score for it would've rocketed to the 9s easyly.

FFIV? Annoying. I find myself not playing for a month, going back for like 3 days, then stopping once more. The level grinding in that game is ridiculous. Let me give u an example. Im at the part where I must face the final boss's strongest minion (out of 4). I had to level grind to for that. Alright, so I level grind. I go up to him, lose a couple times, then go up to him and finish him with ONE CHARACTER. ONE. After I beat him I say to myself: "Wow, I kcicked his ass quickly, and basically with only the main character. Im doing pretty good! Maybe I wont have to grind for the rest of the game!" Alright, so I go on with the story, blah blah blah, then go into the next dungeon. Im hot off my last victory and...................................I get raped in the first room of the dungeon (Hell, it wasnt even the first room! More like an introduction to the first room). I was like WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So I go to IGn and check what level they reccomend I should be in to taclke this dungeon. It said that my lowest should be Lv.50. Not even my highest was level 50, meaning that I was going to have to.........yep, level grind, AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was so ****in pissed, and I havent played since.

Super Mario RPG is pretty fun, and I was very happy with it because I didnt hav to level grind. But then, I got to a part where, yes, I do have to level grind, quite a lot. I got mad (again), and havent played since.

Let's see, what else? Oh yeah. Some of you may have noticed that I have a GamerTag now. Slim Firefly, baby Now, before u freak out and say: "OMG I THOUGHTZ YOU HATEDZ THE XBOX LIKE WTFBBQ?!!!!!!", yes I still do hate the CrapBox. However, it is still playable My friend and I traded consoles for a week or two, and thats how I got my tag. In those weeks, I realized that I love Halo 3 more than I thought I loved Halo 3 It is now my 6th favorite game of all effin time. It is so endlessly fun!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thats not all I played. Played DMC4 (Got boring once I got Dante), Dark Sector (Its pretty good, but thats it), Assasin's Creed (FUN AS HELL, but repetitive), and the Orange Box (Portal=OWNAGE, HF2 gets boring, TF2 is fun, but I dont see myself getting into it). So yeah, I did have fun, but Halo 3 is still the ONLY exclusive that I enjoy. If it wasnt for that, it would be even bigger garbage.

Anime

Now now, dont like u didnt know this was coming ANIME STILL OWNZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I finally finished Chrono Crusade (reccomended to me by Symphony). It was pretty good, but the main charcaters voice was VERY annoying when she was going to extreme emotion. However, I will say one thing. BEST. ENDING. IN. ANY. ANIME. THAT. I. HAVE. SEEN. Im not going to spoil it, so just watch it!

I also finished.....*beatboxing commences, DJ starts scratching*........Samurai Champloo! It was great, with a damn good ending. Watch this one too.

Guess what's next? NARUTO BABY!!! I am now in Season 9, meaning that Im less than a season away from Naruto Shippudden!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! W00!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I've come a damn long way, man. I saw on a site (Forget which) that Shippudden Dub starts sometime in Feb. Im so excited! However, Cartoon Network hasnt aired an ep in 3 weeks!!!! I feel as if Im running out of oxygen!!! If this happen again next Saturday, Im calling Cartoon Network

BAN...KAI. *Whoosh!!!* I am now in the Bleach fillers, and I can feel the impact. They are not even close to what I was watching in the Soul Society Arc. BUt at least they're watchable.

Now, the best for last. Take a look at my last blog. Death Note, 9/10, remember? I would've thought that it was gonna take several months, if not years, for any anime to top it. Yeah......more like just a few months. Presenting, my new favorite anime:

Stare into the face of an evil mind that surpasses Kira himself. LELOUCH!!!!!!!

Yep, my new favorite anime is Code Geass. It is so amazing! It's like Death Note, with the sucker puches and WTF moments, but adds A LOT more action! I also like the charcaters better, dont really know why Right now Im Im on ep. 6 of Season 2

Ending

That's it, then. Glad to be back and see all of you. Until next time! (Now lets hope that everything goes a-ok once I hit submit )

Peace!

EDIT: Got the pic in, and it looks like I can blog with IE now

Yeah, IE is terrible, I would switch to Opera if I was you

Well welcome back

Chrono Crusade looks good, should check it out sometime.

Samurai Champloo eh? I HATED that anime IDK why....

Gave up on Naruto a LONG time ago Same with bleach and Code Geass.

Glad to have you back
Posted Dec 14, 2008 3:00 pm PT
Thanx, man! May I ask why u gave up on CG?
Posted Dec 14, 2008 3:03 pm PT
lelouch is such a douche....although he is a badass douche....i hate how he uses rolo like that...honestly...... and its cool that you like halo 3....fun game, especially online....and its the DS version of IV that you're playing? i beat the GBA version of the game normally....i guess i didnt mind the grinding........and i havent even started watching shippuden.......
Posted Dec 14, 2008 3:16 pm PT
So Internet Explorer is what was causing the problem, eh? I guess that isn't surprising. Plenty of problems have been caused by certain internet browsers.

RPGs have always done that. It's annoying, but that's just how it is. I find that it helps to have something else to play whenever you have to level up a lot, because doing that can get boring very fast.

Yeah, I noticed that you have a Gamertag. I was a little surprised to see that considering that you hate the Xbox.

Oh, and welcome back.

I LOVE how he got Rolo into his ranks. That kid was his biggest obstacle, and he not only got rid of him, but made him join him, while making it look easy. And I sued to not mind grinding, but recently its just gotten on my nerves
Posted Dec 14, 2008 3:23 pm PT
WTFBBQ How can you hate the 360??!?!?!
Posted Dec 14, 2008 3:24 pm PT
@c rake: Yeah, I dont really have an alternative. Thanx
@ajar: Its just crap to me, man Nice to see ya again
Posted Dec 14, 2008 3:26 pm PT
Code Geass rips some tricks from DN, but it is all good. CC, Aion > Sephiroth. Said it. lol Bleach's fillers....are only bad because the Arrancar and Soul Society Arcs are FAR FAR FAR better. Because that is when bankai is epically.... well, let us just say I love Grimmjow.
Posted Dec 14, 2008 3:30 pm PT
awesome Code Geass Rules
i finished the first season but i cant fing the eps for the second
its so good tho definitely top three imo
Posted Dec 14, 2008 3:37 pm PT
Wow I haven't seen you in a while.
Posted Dec 14, 2008 3:58 pm PT
Wow long blog. Valiant of you to return lol
Posted Dec 14, 2008 4:01 pm PT
Sounds like your gaming sort of hit a standstill. So far they're only showing Naruto movies, and I've been watching the Bleach fillers even though it's meh.

But yeah, Code Geass! I just watch it to see how the dubs are, since I already finished it in the Japanese version. They're okay, though I prefer the seiyuus better.

And did you know that they sell Code Geass on BluRay over in Japan? I really wish they did that here.
Posted Dec 14, 2008 4:13 pm PT
IDK why really, just got bored with it halfway through the first season
Posted Dec 14, 2008 4:21 pm PT
heh, but the worst part is rolo thinks he's sincere and zero only finds use in him through his geass......and he'll never be a replacement for his sister....a pity...
Posted Dec 14, 2008 4:35 pm PT
It's good to see your doing good. Welcome back.

As soon as I get my FC, I'll send it to you. I don't really have any online games as of right now except for Mario Kart, but sending messages is always fun.
Posted Dec 14, 2008 5:11 pm PT
Yeah you can blog now. I was wondering when you were going to do this. Anyways glad to hear you are getting close to Shippuuden of Naruto you will enjoy it. I have been watching Bleach myself, I read all the chapter of the manga though online. As for Code I watched a bit of that, but got bored of it. But it is good to hear from you again.
Posted Dec 14, 2008 5:21 pm PT
I never thought I would even hear from you again. I'm glad you are back. I already stopped going to unions but only momentarily. Speaking of along time, I haven't also seen Naruto in ages. I might get back into it soon. See you around.
Posted Dec 14, 2008 5:55 pm PT
I don't watch much tv, I've seen two episodes of code geass. but i didn't know what was going on.

Slim Firefly? Thats a pretty interesting name.
Posted Dec 14, 2008 6:19 pm PT
i started reading the death note manga. my friend has almost all of the books. im up to #7 right now i should see what the anime is like
Posted Dec 14, 2008 9:13 pm PT
okay . good to see you to revan.
Posted Dec 15, 2008 3:25 am PT
glad to have you back bro... also merry x-mas
Posted Dec 15, 2008 6:54 am PT
Glad to hear your life is going well.
I still need to see Code Geass when I've got time. I know Devil May Cry 4 get's abit boring when you got to do backtracking with Dante.
Posted Dec 15, 2008 9:37 am PT
Wow, hello there buddy, sure has been awhile since i seen you. Its nice you could come online. Samurai champloo is an hot anime, the ending for me wasnt that all good but i guess it was a different type of ending. You are watching all the eps of naruto, nice , i skipped those eps since it was good and not important, you should defnietly watch shippuuden soon, because man its going crazy. I seen that CN hasnt put an ep too, maybe they gave up. Code Geass is a bada** anime, the best in my list too.
Peace.
Posted Dec 15, 2008 2:06 pm PT
It's been so long! Glad to know that you're doing well. I know what you mean about FFIV. You have to seriously level up or bosses will be fairly difficult. That or get good equipment.
Posted Dec 15, 2008 2:14 pm PT
Hey whats up? Tryed to comment before but it wouldnt let me. Death Note was a Great Anime but "was" is a key word it was too short but still my second fav. Hope Viz makes more Naruto and Naruto Ship. I dont want to watch it dubed. And Cartoonnetwork would be throwing away there best show, No joke, BUT they did get ride of Toonami, SO....
Posted Dec 16, 2008 12:59 pm PT
Nice too see ya again, can't stay much time, i'll keep studying, check my blogs for more info, bye
Posted Dec 17, 2008 4:04 pm PT
dude so good to see your back, and don't ever be afraid to come around just cause you think we'll be mad at you.....though now that you have an i phone and i don't I think I will be mad at you J/K lol i hate level grinding as well , which is why Odin Sphere is one of my favorite RPGs since the grinding is acually fun because the game isn't turn based and there are no random battles, pluse if your good at the game you really don't need to have a high level to do well. Any ways what part of Mario RPG are you at right now?
Posted Dec 18, 2008 11:54 am PT

As far as I remember I recommended Code Geass to you some time ago, its my favorite anime as well, glad that you are watching it . Halo 3 is awesome, I enjoy playing it on my cousins 360. Too bad that he is using the free silver-level service, so we are always playing against each other on split screen xD. Also, there is an awesome Halo 3 machinima on YT called Arby n the Chief, which is really worth watching, check it out if you like .
Posted Dec 22, 2008 3:34 am PT
I haven't watched in Naruto on Cartoon Network in a long time. But hopefully they will start to show some more of the show soon.
Posted Dec 23, 2008 1:46 pm PT
TNBG: Machinima? Whats that?
Cs: They started again, praise the Lord
