For some reason, GS is acting funny and I can't post my blog. So I decided I'll just post it on my freewebs page. Yeah, I got a freewebs page, though I don't do much on there, but I was able to get my full post there:

Where I been at:

1. I decided to buy out the Nintendo 64 games my E-Zone has, though none of them are ones I've been hunting for, I just wanted to build up my collection so that I can call myself an N64 buff someday. (One's I'm hunting for include Starfox 64, Majora's Mask, many games I had as a kid but was stupid enough to sell...)
-I found some pretty cool games: Madden 2002 which I have no idea how to play, I just do a bunch of random stuff , same case with Tony Hawk's Pro Skater. I also found Earthworm Jim 3D, cool platforming, bad boss battles, though it's probably another one of those hated games that I like. Rocket: Robot on Wheels, yet another "platformer mascot that could have become a franchise if it didn't fall into obscurity but who's game is still awesome to play." And the cool thing is, Ubisoft is still in business, so we could possibly see him again someday, I'd certainly like to.
2. School is getting more demanding... Can't play as much... Thank goodness for portables and my laptop deciding to work...
3. I have FINALLY beaten Dragon Quest: Swords. Dog on it was Xiphos a clas s A &$*% to defeat. Still was a fun game to play though and it didn't get boring either. I'd definitely like to check out some of the other Dragon Quest games now. 7.5/10 is my final score for it. Now starting up Final Fantasy Fables: Chocobo's Dungeon.
4. My wallet's feeling a pinch right now as DeBlob, Warioland: Shake It!, and Force Unleashed are around the corner. I'm looking forward to Mushroom Men the most, but the Wii has so many awesome titles I can't pass up on.

So that's the significant news I have to share, other than that, I have squeezed in enough time to complete Part 2/5 of Chapter 2 for my Sonic 2006 novelization. Do enjoy, and wait for next time.

Sonic Chapter 2 (2/5)

The Egg Cerberus landed with a resounding thunder before Shadow and Rouge and roared into the sky to show he was ready to destroy his targets. Shadow smirked at this and said, "The Doctor's guard dog? How pathetic." The Cerberus charged towards Shadow, but missed as Shadow ran to his left and ran past the robotic dog. Even though he stopped, the Cerberus continued to run forward until stopping just in time to notice it wasn't chasing its target anymore. Shadow took this opportunity to run towards the dog and jumped onto its tail and began to grind towards the top of its head.
The Cerberus began to run around in disarray destroying all of the robots that got in its path despite being supposed to help destroy Shadow. Shadow took this opportunity to bring down the robot by calling out, "CHAAAAAOOOSSS SPEEEEARRR!!!" and electric rays formed from his hands to fly through the dog's head and rendered it immobile. The dog began roaring out in pain while Shadow jumped off shouting, "Look out Rouge! It's gonna blow!" Rouge noticed from afar that the Cerberus was about to explode, and jumped into the air to avoid the explosion. With that, the Egg Cerberus was destroyed...

The morning sun was now higher in the sky as the blue hedgehog began to run through the city hoping to reach Eggman's Egg Carrier in hopes of finding Eggman in time. The hedgehog wasn't able to muster up any true reason why he would help Elise, not because it would mean disarray for Soleanna or he wanted to be thanked by her, but his conscience would never be able to deal with the fact that he failed to save her.
While the hedgehog was running, he heard a young voice call out, "Sonic!" Sonic turned around and noticed a brown-yellow fox with two tails running towards him.
"Tails? Is that you?" Sonic ran up to his friend and embraced him in a hug. They both laughed together in joy of seeing one another again.
Tails answered, "Hehe! Hey Sonic, it's great to see you again too!"
Sonic stepped back and said, "Tell me about it. So what brings you here to this place?"
Snapping out of his bliss and said, "Oh yeah, that's why I came here in the first place! I heard you tried to save the Duchess from Eggman, so I came flying here to see if there was anything I could do."
Sonic confirmed this and asked, "I see. Did you manage to see where Eggman went?"
Tails told him, "Yeah, he's headed south of this island. Maybe if we work together, we'll be able to catch up with Eggman. You'll let me right?"
"Sure thing Tails! This'll be too easy with your help!" They clapped hands together and began to run towards the south end of the island to try and catch up with Eggman.

Sonic and Tails found themselves at the edge of a cliff when they saw the Egg Carrier lifting off in the distance and ready to take off. Tails said, "There's Eggman's ship!"
Sonic nodded and said, "Yeah, I gotta hurry and save Elise! Be sure to catch up with me Tails!" Sonic then began running down the mountain in pursuit of the Egg Carrier.
Tails commented to himself, "I'll have to follow Sonic as closely as possible so he doesn't end up in trouble." Tails took to the air and began flying along Sonic's path.
As Sonic reached the bottom of the mountain, he began to run with great speed across the water to begin catching up with Eggman's ship. Sonic took note of the robots on the island he was about to land on, and immediately took an alternate path. He ran up alongside a rock formation and made a giant leap into the air while avoiding the robots completely and speeding across the water again.
One of the robots reported, "CONFIRMED. TARGET IS SONIC THE HEDGEHOG. ALL UNITS ENGAGE THE TARGET." This proved to be futile though, as Sonic began to speed across rock formations and jumping into a set of mountains higher than the robots could were positioned. Sonic jumped from one stone pillar to the next and landed on top of a lighthouse, then began to grind his way down a power line and made a giant leap from the lines all the way down to the docks.
As Sonic landed on the docks, he built up speed and speed his way through a gate and then made a giant leap into the air by landing into the entrance of a cave. When he entered the cave, he ran along side the wall so not to fall down to the ground and meet the robots below. Finally, he reached the end of the cavern and jumped from the exit to another mountain, speeding down to the bottom to reach the water. As he was running across the water, he noticed something behind him, a giant whale was jumping in and out of the water. "Uh Oh! This only means trouble!" Sonic noted, reminded of the destruction the whale in Emerald Coast had caused before. Sonic jumped onto a dock and quickly jumped onto another one while running away from the whale as fast as he could. Unfortunately, the whale had the same instinct as the one in Emerald Coast did, as it began to thrash its way through the docks and got closer and closer to Sonic. As he reached the end of the docks, Sonic made a jump and found himself landing on top of the whale trying to catch him. Sonic grasped hold of the whale's fin and held on for dear life, especially considering his dislike for getting wet. As the whale made a jump into the air after its first dive, Sonic noticed Tails out in the distance and called out to him, "Tails! Get to the gates so he doesn't get out!"
Despite being a good distance away from Sonic, Tails was able to hear Sonic's request and responded, "Alright Sonic! I'll be right back!"
Tails leaped into the air and made use of his tails to begin flying into the air to make his way to the gates that were a few islands away. Noticing ahead that there were a few robots trying to get in his way due to their inability to catch up to Sonic, Tails flew over them and paid little heed to them. As soon as Tails made his way closer to the coastline, he heard Sonic in the distance again. "Tails! Hurry!" Tails turned to notice that Sonic was still holding onto the fin of the whale and was soaking wet while getting closer and closer to the gates.
Tails yelled, "Don't worry Sonic! I'll find the switch as soon as I can!" He turned around and made his way into the mountain range ahead of him. "I just have to find that switch first. He jumped into the air and began making his way up the mountains while noticing that robots were firing missiles in hopes to destroy him. Tails continued to jump and dodge all of the missiles that came towards him and eventually saw a small shack on top of a mountain. He wondered, "I wonder if that's the place that operates the gates?" Tails had little time to wonder when the missiles came flying towards him. Tails leapt into the air and flew to the mountain the shack was located on top of. As he noticed a missile was right behind him, he landed and the missile flew right past him and into the shack. As the explosion subsided, Tails commented, "I hope whoever lives there has insurance." He then noticed a switch and decided to pull it having little time to figure out its purpose. As soon as he did, the gates in the distance began to drop and the whale was no longer able to escape.
As soon as the whale was close enough to land, Sonic leaped into the air and landed on the beach. Sonic shook himself dry and looked up to Tails saying, "Hey thanks Tails, you were a big help!"
Tails responded, "No problem Sonic, like you said, this was gonna be too easy if we worked together!" As soon as Tails made the comment, he noticed a ship was lifting into the air in the distance. Tails warned, "Uh Oh! Sonic! Eggman's getting away!"
Sonic took notice of the ship and said, "Damn! Time to speed up!" As soon as Sonic said that, he began to run towards Eggman's carrier as fast as he possibly could, and that speed was faster than the speed of sound. He made his way past rocks and trees on the beach and zipped through the dock postings. He ran onto a dock and then leaped into the air and began to jump from one rock formation to the next until he was on his way to the next island. While Sonic was in the middle of jumping onto the beach, he noticed that robots were forming up from behind him. "Not enough time for those guys!" he said as he speeded his way past them despite their jet powered flying. Sonic began to speed his way across the island by speeding through the islands forest of palm trees and eventually reached the beach. Sonic made a leap into the air and jumped across many rock formations like he did before. When he was making his landing on the next island, Sonic noticed that more robots were forming up to cut him off. He simply ran past them and leaped into the cave of a mountain behind the robots and began to speed his way out. As soon as he reached the exit, Sonic leaped into the air and landed on another beach, but noticed that he was too late to catch up with Eggman.
As soon as Sonic stopped running, he noticed his friend Tails behind him. "It doesn't look like we'll be able to save the Duchess from here. We should keep following Eggman's ship to see if we can catch up to him."
Sonic smiled saying, "Good idea Tails. Let's see if we can find them." He then began to run into the distance with Tails behind him, trying to follow the course Eggman's ship would have gone.

Eggman slammed his fists in frustration as he cursed, "Damn it all! Why is nothing able to get that blasted hedgehog out of my affairs?!"
To add to his amount of bad news, a robot had reported to him, "Doctor, reports are showing that the intruder Shadow the Hedgehog has terminated Cerberus 1.5 within the main base."
What would have usually frustrated Eggman to no end reminded him of another resort that he had up his sleeves. He gave out the order, "Very well then, we shall just have to resort to my latest model. Set a course for the desert! We shall await Sonic and his little friend there. Don't worry Sonic, soon, you will fall mercy to my technological advances!"

Basic post of my first day back to College, not much else special about it. So here's how it all went...

- Woke up, drove, and forgot my entry slip. My campus has a system where you have to bring a slip to the parking lot so you can gain entry through the gates. Thankfully they weren't up today, I'll have to remember to put it in my car next time I go.
- The Savage Gecko (My College Game Store) that used to be there is now "E-Zone". Basically, the place got a minor rennovation, the Marvel vs. Capcom 2 and Dance Dance Revolution arcade machines are still there as well as a prize grabbing machine. What's changed is that they been moved and there's a stage for multiple people to play Rockband on the 360. While visiting, I got two new games, Chameleon Twist for the N64, and Silent Hill 4: The Room.
- Cla sses were only about half an hour long since they were basically introductory days. I tried to work on my Sonic '06 novelization during my break, but my laptop didn't start for some reason, then it worked as soon as I brought it home and plugged it in to the main cord (I guess it ran out of power).

That's my day in a nutshell, onto the gaming portion.

Chameleon Twist is just old-school N64 platforming fun, and it's just awesome to play. I never owned the orginal, but I owned and loved Chameleon Twist 2 when I was a kid. I personally don't see why these games got so much negative attention, I think they're awesome. It would be so cool if a new Chameleon Twist game came out today, but unfortunately it will never happen seeing the developers aren't encouraged to do so since the fanbase that might exist out there is so small, and Sunsoft is out of business.

Silent Hill 4 is my first Silent Hill game since I've been trying to find the Playstation original but can't find a reasonable price anywhere. It's pretty creepy and has a cool atmosphere, and the plot is promising too. I'm having some trouble though since I can't seem to kill the zombies that appear out of the wall no matter what weapon I use. It doesn't help that they seem to drain your health when you're around them in general.

My first boring post in a long while, well it's just my first day, so things might get more hectic someday. It also doesn't help that College demands so many papers to write as well, so don't be surprised if I'm not around as much.

Some people just don't have opinions. Like Myviewing.
Myviewing must really love MovieTome and agree with every review we've ever written! What other reason could Myviewing possibly have for not rating a single film?
