My Thoughts on Gamespot and my gaming activity
Well it has been a while since I last posted a blog and I find it interesting as I click on my profile on here and I see on the front page of my page on here Blogs that are 4 or 5 days old, it speaks badly about the lack of activity on Gamespot and that people just do not care about this site anymore, since the way Cnet treated Jeff Gerstmann and the reaction to that has been interesting and hostile and the integrity and the truthfullness of this website are forever damaged, thanks to the cronies at Cnet
Back in the day, when Gamespot was a crediable and reliable website, I would never see blogs anymore then 2 days old on my front page and it speaks volume about how bad things have gotten on here seeing blogs 4 or 5 days old, but those days are long gone
My lack of activity on here or not as much of it, is not in anyway related to that and the sudden decline of this website, I would rather just spend time on my 360 and at the gym and other activities on the computer. I will still visit a few Unions on here and post at them like the NCAA Football Union and the NFL Union and I very rarely ever check the main system forums like I use to, I just find no use for them and the stupidity that exists on them and how dumb people act on them and the only way I go there is if I really need to check something related to a system
As far as from a gaming point of view goes, I could not be loving gaming anymore, I am still on my first and only 360 after 18 plus months and I somehow do not understand why I have been so lucky compared to a lot of other 360 owners and I have more games then I can shake a stick at to play
My main games right now are Call of Duty 4, Guiter Hero 3, Gears of War, and Rock Band and a few others as well
My Return to Gears of War
I decided to make a brief return to Gears of War, a while back I said I was done with that game for good, well one of my friends on Xbox live convinced me to come out of retirement on that game for a short period of time and I am helping him and a few other friends get some achievements on Gears of War and after that I will hang up the game until my old squad decides they want to play their final match and at that point, I will retire Gears of War once and for all then
Because Espurs and Appaloosa were the best ever teammates I had on Gears of War and it is only apporiate that I play my final match on that game with them and that we all go out together, I was the first one to play a match with them on Gears of War and we all formed a very special bond and we have been a team for quite a long time and one that you could not pull apart, expect when me and Appaloosa had some issues, which we finally buried the hatchet and decided to give things a second chance again and although I play with him and Espurs on Call of Duty 4, I am just glad to have my old squad from Gears of War back on other games
I bought a Wii today
I decided to buy a Nintendo Wii today, but the console was not bought so much for myself and my own gaming leisure, but it was bought for my roommate who is an older person and has some health problems and I wanted to do something to help him get better and get him more active
A few weeks ago on the News I seen a special on how the Wii is being used in Rest and Nursing homes to help Seniors get more active and help them rehab and how it has helped them and I really felt the urge and the need to get one for him, so I could help him get better
So I went searching for a Wii Tuesday Morning after Learning that most places will often get a Shipment on Tuesday's, when a Shipment generally arrives at a store and I called many Wal Mart's Monday and learned that they often get a Shipment on Tuesday's and other stores as well, so I went to Wal Mart to hang out there for a shipment and I brought a list of Phone Numbers with a lot of stores that had the potential to get one and I called the Gamestop in the Mall across from Wal Mart around 9:30 Tuesday Morning and boom, they said they had a shipment come in and just got them, so I decided to walk over there and buy one, even though I was under the impression that Wal Mart would get a Shipment, but no use to wait there, when that Shipment was not a sure thing, when a place nearby just got some in and said if you get here soon enough, you will get one and it turned out, I was the second one in line and I bought one and I was glad I decided to call other places and not just hang out at Wal Mart, but that was the whole idea was to call other places nearby and jump on it, if they got them in, and I was prepared to camp at Wal Mart until UPS came, if I would not have made a call and found one at another store
So I was well prepared for it and the area that I went shopping in, they have more shopping in that area, then any other place in my whole area and every store under the sun is in that area
Do not expect to see me online with the Wii or play it that much
Again like I stated above the Wii was bought for my roommate to help him and I have no plans on going online with it and most of my gaming will be done on the 360, but I will play it with my roommate and help him learn the controls and use the Motion Sensor thing right, I only bought a few things for it and a couple of games enough to help him and give him something to do and rehab
I bought Mario and Sonic at the Olympics and this one Crossbow game that came with the Wii Zapper, games that involve a lot of movement and Physical activity and those are the kind of games that will help him out
