GAMES: GameSpot GameFAQs MOVIES: Metacritic Movietome Comic-Con
Monday, Nov 16, 2009

Sorry for the so long delay of unveiling last poll's results and posting a new one.

Just to remind you, the question of the last poll was "How often do you play retro games (NES, SNES, Genesis)?" and here is the result

I can see from the results that people are more fond of current generation of consoles but never away from the old time Clasics specially after making them available through current consoles.

Anyways, it is time to move on onto a new poll and here is the question
"Poll No.30: Do you buy second hand games?"

---------------------------------------

For Final Fantasy fans, Here is picture of the day.

I once posted some interesting articles about videogames, well here are some more but I warn you, they are long

- Super Mario World

- Super Mario Galaxy

- Metal Gear Solid 3

- Metal Gear Solid

- Final Fantasy XII

--------------------------------------------------------

I once showed you my two new blogs "oln1" and "game-nerds". I spent sometime on them the last week to redesign them and make'em more attractive and easy to navigate. If you please can have a look and give me your feedback, I will be greatful.

Thanks for reading,

While I was surfing the internet I found two great and funny articles about people resembling the appearances of gaming characters OR OTHER STUFF, just like the following picture.

Master Chief to the left, resembles the Samsung Silencio SC9540 Vacuum Cleaner to the right

For more of those crazy comparisons, check out these two links.

This month was actually full of surprises and here is a list of them:

- PSN cards finally arriving in my country.
- Super Street Fighter IV
- Final Fantasy VIII to the PS3

NOT having a Xbox360
Because of that I can't play one of the best expansions for GTA IV


DSi XL: I was surprised with this annoucement and happy because I didn't rush into buying a DSi.


Cliffs Of Dover: One of my favorite songs from Guitar Hero III



My first fishing trip
Of course this isn't the picture of our boat, just a random one from the internet. I finally got the chance to go into a real fishing trip in the boat of a teacher at school. It was very scary the first time but I got used to it later on. Sadly I don't have any pictures for that trip but I will try to take some if I go again.

-----------------------------------------------------------

iDid:

October's summary:

It is almost identical to the previous pie charts except that the hobbies section has increased tremendously because of the many fishing trips I had this month. A special note for you Thomas_Crown: I promise that you will see a totally different chart next month

Have a great November guys

Cheers

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