My blog, updates occansionally.
Saturday, Nov 15, 2008

So it's been a few months since I've posted a blog. It's 2 AM here and I don't feel like going to bed, so I figured what the hell.

So the biggest thing is back in August I got a PS3 and a 50" Plasma TV. I have MGS4, Stranglehold, Bionic Commando Rearmed, Madden '09, Fight Night 3, MK2, and LIttlebigplanet for it. I've been playing it a lot. I also got Gamefly which lets me rent out 2 games at a time, then I ship them back and recieve a new one, so I get 6-8 games a month for $20 so I can't complain.

Also been playing the Left 4 Dead demo, have completed it 20 times thus far, enjoyed it everytime, already have it pre-ordered . Also tomorrow I'm going to get Animal Crossing. Kinda lame, but it's pretty addicting, at least the Gamecube version was.

Speaking of addicting, I'm starting to play World of Warcraft again since the new expansoin just came out. I don't have it yet, but my dad does (He's working on his 3rd 70 when it came out) and friends have been wanting me to for a while so figured nows the time I suppose.

Started High School, things have been going well, no problems there, just been hanging out with friends, the usual. I'm taking 2 college classes since I can take them in High School for free, so that's been keeping me busy as well.

So not much has happend since my last blog post and now. I've gotten a lot of new games, too many to list so if you really want to know you can go digging through my collection.

However, last night I did go to my first concert. I went to go see Dragonforce. If you haven't heard of them you can find them on YouTube pretty easily, they are also on Guitar Hero 3 (Through the Fire and Flames). Also playing was Powerglove (they do remixes of game music, like Mario, Sonic, Final Fantasy etc.) and another band called Turisas, a band from Finland that does metalish-viking-folk music. 

It started with Powerglove, they were amazing. Their guitarist was really cool, as pauldrens he had Koopa Shells (Mario) and viking helmets, their bassist (I think?) had Leather Armor, and can't remember what the others had. They did Mortal Kombat, Mario, FFVII, Mega Man and Tetris.

Next was Turisas, the Finland band. Personally I thought they were the best of the 3. They had a guitarist, bassist, accordianist, singer, and violinist. I was really impressed with them, just bought their CD and have been listening to it, once again YouTube if interested. But man, their guitarist (bassist?) was HUGE. If any of you have seen Harry Potter he looked like a little smaller Hagrid. He was good at guitar but geez....

Finally came the reason we went there, Dragonforce. I'm not a huge fan but 2 buddies of mine that I went with were so I can along as well. I thought they were a little sloppy at parts, but that might have just been due to the stage equipment. Overall they were pretty good, they came back and did 2 encores for us, they got a little annoyed at teh 2nd one but oh well (they did Through the Fires and Flames for the 2nd encore)

Then one of my friends got in a Mosh Pit, he elbowed a few people, then got punched in the back of the neck and the back so he called it quits. So yeah it was a pretty good concert.

Anyways so as you can tell not much going on with me. How bout you guys though? Any good concerts, maybe a new system or game you haven't gotten around to blogging about? As always thanks for reading.

 EDIT: Looking back on my profile, I missed my 5 year aniversery here on Gamespot! Doesn't feel like it's been that long. I still remember back before they had the level system or emblems, when the search bar was in the middle of the page instead of at the top, when there were no wedges... i feel old giving a "back when" speech

Wooho! Finally got the Serious Collector emblem. Been waiting for it since 20 games ago.

To finally put me over the edge, I got Assassin's Creed, Star Fox 64, Rainbow SIx Vegas, Rock Band, Soul Reaver, and Advance Wars: Day or Recogning recently

In additon, on April 13th (day before my B-Day) my dad asked me if I wanted to go to Las Vegas. Obviously I said HELL YA! So we went and stayed there for 2 days. I went to the Bodies Exhibit (they take unclaimed Chinese corpses, and skin them so you can see the flesh, muscles, tissues, organs, and veins. They're orignial, nothing fake. Kinda creepy...), a Jousting competion, went through Caeser's Palace (REALLY nice casino), and went up in the X-Scream at the Stratosphere (it's a ride from 1,000+ ft. or 304.8m up in the air, and dips you straight over. Here's a quick pic to get the idea...

And we did a few other things that I won't bother to mention. So that's all for now. Anything good going on with you guys? Fun, new games, etc?

My birthday is in 4 days (April 14) so I figured I should make a blog about it, kinda because I don't have a hella lot else to do.

Well for starters, my mom got tired of me trying to figure out what I got so today she gave me Rock Band for the PS2. I'm really loving the drums, even though I can't play hard on them yet. Also a few days ago I bought Prey off of Steam. I was pleasently surprised, first game I've completed in a long time. They could have messed witht he portals and the gravity a bit more, but overall a good game. Also, earlier today I bought Rainbow Six: Vegas for PC, waiting for it to finish downloading., at 40% right now. I've played it over at a friend's house (Clangeddin here on GS), and loved it, got about 1/2 through the game, a little under and really liked it. So I bought it.

Other than that not much is going on. I'm still hoping my parents will get me Assasian's Creed, if not I'll just have to buy it myself. Made it to mission 6 in 1 night at another friend's place, and loved every minute of it. So that's all for now, see ya all later.

Some people just don't have opinions. Like Scorpion13497.
Scorpion13497 must really love MovieTome and agree with every review we've ever written! What other reason could Scorpion13497 possibly have for not rating a single film?
