Hello everyone and welcome again to my monthly blog. I'm very happy for the positive feedback from the previous monthly blog and I hope I'd be up to your expectations this month too

I would like to apologize for not commenting on many posts due to my laptop malfunctioning which prevented me from surfing the internet at work. I'm going to buy a new laptop soon and I will hopfully be active again.

This month's picture is a very funny joke combining two important subjects, Halloween and swine flu

Scientist from Critter Crunch

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
- Bayonetta getting a full 40 from Famitsu

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

Hows the iPHONE? And you played 27 hour for 2 trophies in Pacific Rift? it sure is punishing on the trophies

I really like that Samus Aran picture!
Posted Nov 2, 2009 3:34 pm PT
omg that pic is hilarious !!!! Also i played the demo of critter crunch it was pretty fun but im not a big fan of the puzzle genre to be honest

LOL - Love that little cartoon. Although it is not a bad idea to keep you safe from swine flu. Whoa, check out that list of games you brought. Nice to see COD4 there, just in time for the new COD. lol Fishing trip - Nice. I would love to go on a fishing trip but no one would like to go with me nor have the patient to do so and I don't want to go alone. If I go alone, it feels like I am about to commit suicide because all my stocks are busted. lol Ahem... Anyway...

Ah! Love to see a new chart - I see exercising has a slight increase or I need a new pair of glasses. lol Nice to see Gaming time had significantly increased over internet - well, considering the amount of games you've brought this month, I wouldn't be surprise. lol
And finally... My god! No Anime this month!? I assumed is because of those games, perhaps?

Well, great blog like always - Until next time.

Great comic strip and great blog as usual!
I am glad you had fun on your fishing trip.

Great halloween picture.

Wow nice purchases this past month. That phone does look really nice. It looks like your monthly blog is surround by Critter Crunch that is cool. Oh and Cliff of Dover is a great song I like playing it as well. And nice to see that video games toke over more of month this month. Congrats on everything and hope November is just as great for you.

cool iphone rocks and Batman AA is an amazing game hope you make blogs more often.
Posted Nov 2, 2009 9:24 pm PT
Wow at that Samus pic, oh yeah baby. Also, nice blog.
Posted Nov 3, 2009 1:01 am PT
great blog!
Posted Nov 3, 2009 7:23 am PT
I only bought a few games in October, most notably the Zelda Ocarina of Time Master Quest for Gamecube. I'm almost done with Dodongo's Cavern and so far it's very difficult than the original version.

Anyway, you've got a lot of acquisitions this month. I wish I had the spare time to return in making these monthly blogs
Posted Nov 3, 2009 7:24 am PT
Awesome Terra pic! I might have to file that away for future use.
Did you go fishing in the Persian Gulf? Or catch anything?
Posted Nov 3, 2009 7:58 am PT
It seems that you did have very good month! How are you liking your iphone? And for you question: I didn't celebrate Halloween.
Posted Nov 3, 2009 8:27 am PT
Nice Samus Aran Pic!
Posted Nov 3, 2009 9:06 am PT
Damn, how you'd managed to get 2 platinum trophies?!
Posted Nov 3, 2009 1:08 pm PT
@SGTiD1NG0: I love the iPhone, it is really great and have all what I'm looking for in a phone. There is one flow though, it cannot exhange files with other phones using bluetooth. As for MotorStorm, yeah it is very difficult to obtain the trophies but they are indeed very rewarding

@Lightchaos: Glad you liked it

@NuKkU: You really should give it a try. For 7 dollars and a total of 20 hours to play is not a waste of money at all . I really love to support these new developers who struggle to create great games.
Posted Nov 4, 2009 2:30 am PT
@Thomas-Crown:
great comment as always
Yes I agree with you, it is boring to go on a fishing trip alone. Imagine that our longest fishing trip was 7 hours . Next month you won't need a new pair of new glasses to see the increase of exercises

@ Pierst179: thanks , how about you, Have you had a fishing trip before?

@Foolz3h: thanks

@Colmillios: thank you . You really should give Critter Crunch a try, specially if you are into some puzzles and challenges. There is a demo for the game by the way. Yeah, finally Games toke over but I don't think that will be the case this month too
Posted Nov 4, 2009 8:55 am PT
@ reo-117: thank you, yeah I agree with you, I've been away from blogging for a lot of time but I promise I will back again with more posts. Thanks for having interest in my blog

@mitu123: thank you
Yeah it is a great drawing and surely made better looking than Nintendo's image

@riou7: Thank you

@6h05tly: thank you
When you have the time I will be more than happy to read it

@Mathurin47: Yeah, it is the Persian gulf but not the very deep part of it but the part near my country Bahrain. And yes we caught a lot of fish, I will try to get some pictures next month

@MorkkiTH: Thanks. About my iPhone, I really love it and use it to listen to music everyday when I'm going to work. The great thing about it that you could find many applications for free except for a GPS software which you have to pay for.
Posted Nov 4, 2009 9:00 am PT
@1995_1996_1997: Thanks

@cbmurphy2489: yeah, that was a long time ago now and I was trying to get my third from MotorStorm but sadly the online portion of it is totally insane because you get to play against the best of the best. I will try to get Batman's platinum next
By the way, don't get surprised about 2 platinums because there is a guy from my country who now is the 1st in the leader board with a total of 80 platinums
Posted Nov 4, 2009 9:02 am PT
Sorry, bruh. My mistake.
Posted Nov 4, 2009 9:08 am PT
I'll have to check out Critter Crunch - the characters look so cute! :3 And the DSi XL looks awful, I think Ninty are on crack nowadays. The whole point of a handheld is to be portable and the games already have crap graphic, let alone with it stretched out onto a bigger screen.
Posted Nov 4, 2009 9:11 am PT
@cbmurphy2489: There is totally nothing to apologize for
You haven't said anything wrong
Posted Nov 6, 2009 1:43 am PT
@tofu-lion91:
I haven't thought of it that way
