Ding Dong! 5 weeks to cover in 20 seconds!(plus gaming updates and more)

Well, let me run down a huge list of things I need to cover that I don't want to go indepth with:

1. I found out one of my friend's was still in town, so yay! Still XBox for me!

2. Laptop Screen was smashed.

3. Purchased new laptop screen and had to replace it myself, losing $45 in the process.

4. Car broke down... Replaced battery, works again.

5. Bought RAM Card. Can now play Sims 3.

6. Found out the place I'm working at is shutting down... Most unfortunate.

7. Got job opportunity over at the place next door(which is actually still the same building, as well as the same corperation).

8. Friend had his Birthday(the one I refered to in #1), bought him Lost Odyssey.

Okay, if you read all that, for me, it was nearly 26 seconds long at a speedy pace. That essentially covers everything that happened while I was too busy being lazy.

Anywho, Gaming update!

After purchasing that RAM Card, I've really spent some hand-on time with Sims 3, which has been quite the experience. The Sims formula has always been the same throughout, game after game, but there's just something about this one that makes me play is as much as Animal Crossing... I bought some Steampunk themed items with the money I was given for registering my game. Can't say I thoroughly enjoy them, seeing how they aren't really the most interesting of items(TV, Laptop, and a few other non-furniture misc.), but the one shirt I bought is pretty fun.(in-game of course) Built a nice, large house and became a master Thief. It's quite the fun experience for as much as I've played.

I got to playing more Shadow Complex, earning myself 2 more achievements from the last time I played.(at my friend's house of course) I continued playing through Proving Grounds, and pulled out something that still amazes me to date. I continued trying to beat Big One flawlessly, having to reattempt it about 30 times or so, and finally pulled it off, earning myself a platinum medal. Little did I know I actually scored amongst the top players, making it into the top 100 for the leaderboards on that map, scoring rank 88! My overall score isn't too bad either, ranking 511 on Proving Grounds overall. But I've been having plenty of fun with the game.

Drawing Corner!

I got a few drawings uploaded since the last time. The quality of these may seem a lot better than my usual, seeing how I put much effort into these. The Sims 3 ended up sparking a Steampunk re-inspiration, which is the main reason why I did the second and third drawings. The third was a B-Day gift to SonicHomeBoy, so I was more than happy to do that piece. The fourth is too big to actually show here... Just click the link to see the piece.

I suppose that does it for my long needed blog. Though I could throw in a little trivia.

What game am I highly anticipating that comes out within a month's time? should be pretty easy for anyone that kept up with my blogs.
