Hey everyone. I came home to find my parents had gotten me a digital camera! It's a Sony Cybershot, and I'm liking it. It's got a nice big LCD screen, and pictures come out pretty well. I'm still getting used to using it since I've never had a digital camera. But now I'll be able to use it for my digital photography, and it's a good size, so I can carry it around easily. I took a few pictures and I thought I'd share with you guys.

*Disclaimer - There is a pic of myself in here. So if your eyes melt from horror, you have been warned.

Here is part of my game collection

I can't believe it's already September. You know what that means, right? A LOT of games will be coming out over the next few months that I'll be wanting to purchase. Just in the months of September and October, I may end up getting:

Spore
Star Wars: The Force Unleashed
Rock Band 2
Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood (I have faith in you Bioware)
NBA 2K9
MotorStorm: Pacific Rift
SOCOM: US Navy Seals Confrontation
Deer Hunter Tournament (This is #1 on my list...)
Fable II
Dead Space
LittleBigPlanet
Fallout 3

That equals a lot of money and time. But somehow I always end up getting the majority of the games I want around the last quarter of the year. The only thing I'm worried about is having the time to play them all! Oh, and obviously I was making fun of the Deer Hunter Tournament game. Sorry to the deer hunting video game fanatics out there...all three of you.

Hey everyone. Tomorrow starts my junior year of high school, so my vacation has come to an end. It was just a relaxation time for me, didn't do anything too special. I've got some tough AP classes this year. Here's my full schedule:

Analysis/TrigAP

US History

AP English

Spanish 2

AP Biology

Digital Photography

So needless to say, I'll be busy. I'm going to try to change this year; I'll actually do my homework when I get home! I usually waited until 8 at night, but now I'm going to try to get it out of the way sooner. Whether or not I stick to that is a whole other story. I probably won't be around Gamespot as much, but I'll still try to drop in every day, so I won't be a stranger. And now that I have Digital Photography I'll soon be getting a digital camera. So for anyone curious about what I look like, you may soon find out. Don't get too excited though, trust me. As far as gaming goes, I've been playing some games I've already played before. I beat Shadow of the Colossus, beat MGS4 a second time, and finished my third playthrough of BioShock. But I recently got God of War: Chains of Olympus and FFIV, and I've totally been ignoring those games. I really need to get back them. Oh, and I always downloaded that Xbox Live Arcade game, Braid. I have to say, that's one of my favorite games of the year now, beautiful, unique, and challenging without being frustrating. And the story is pretty interesting as well which I like. I'm a sports junkie, so I may get the new Madden, and after that my next purchase will probably be Too Human. Guess that's about it. Take care.
