My last review was written on July 8th 2007, so I thought it was about time for my next one
My latest review is on an old Game Boy Color game that I doubt many of you have played:

For those of you who don't know, this cute little adventure game kick started the career of everyone's favourite drunken squirrel, Conker. This game is pretty tame compared to Bad Fur Day and Live & Reloaded, but this was actually Rare's original plan for Conker. I'm glad they decided to go in a more radical direction though. Another "friendly" platformer for the N64 would have been overshadowed by better games (Super Mario 64 and Banjo-Kazooie, for example), just like this one is on the GBC.
Let me know what you think of the review! Any comments/feedback is appreciated ![]()

In other news, I'm pretty close to finishing RE5 on Veteran. I've been cruising through the chapters now that I've unlocked Chris's special weapon. This has also caused an inventory problem I never thought could happen in the RE games: too much ammo
I still have quite a way to go before I get the platinum trophy though.
I've started working on the 40 page report for my college project, even though the project isn't even close to completed yet. My partner didn't have time to work on it this week (he has a wife and daughter plus a demanding job, so I guess it's understandable). I thought I could at least get the report started. So far, I've got half a page... Only 39 and a half more to go!![]()
I'm a little worried we won't get it done before September. We're still in the designing stages and I want to have a working prototype by August 8th. I'm doing my work experience term on August 10th, so we can only work on it during weekends after that. Lucky for me, my partner has a Bachelor's Degree in programming, so I won't have to worry about that part of the project.
If there's one thing I've learned about designing electronics: whatever you design, it will never, ever, work on the first try and you should always plan at least a week of troubleshooting ![]()

You going to throw us a RE5 review?
Aah..conker, drunken lil squirel
HawkGamer2008: It's a really hard lock to pick unfortunately
bigmouthkid: I forgot about that game...
Always thought Bad fur Day was first
I need to get started on my remaining essays as well. Hopefully I'll be done with one by tonight, because I need to read some text before I can start on the other ones. Ugh.
Good luck with Veteran mode. Too much ammo? How did that happen? What? Did you decide to start stabbing everyone?
Wow... that project sounds like a doozy...
chandu83: Thanks!
mufujifi:Thanks! I hate essays that require reading and writing
Minishdriveby: I wish there were more hours in a day
DesertClawX2X: Well, it wasn't the worst game I ever played, so that's why I went a bit easy on it
msudude211: Thanks!
Colmillios: Thanks! Let's just say I'm having a great time writing it so far...
Good luck on your report but just make sure that you don't do everything for yourself cause sometimes,they intend to leave all the work to their partner.just make sure that he does help you in the end.
That quote is 100% true by the way,thanks for showing it.
Like I said before the only hard part in RE5 is in the 2nd chapter, apart from that you shouldn't have much trouble completing the game. Which chapter are you in anyways?
I always hated doing projects, don't know why...I would rather do multiple exams than present a project to my teacher
HawkGamer2008: Can't wait
david_lck: Thanks! I'm dreading Professional mode. Yep, it's the chain gun.
herviross_2: Thanks!
Good luck with your project!
Oh, and i read that the the producer of RE5 revealed that "he" is definitely dead and gone for good
"he" is also in W.S. Anderson's next RE movie which starts a new trilogy(with Millo reprising her role as Alice) they're actually a releife that they're not like the series to a tee
soulless4now: But what if I want to be lazy now?
paul939: It never really stood out so I can understand why a lot of people never heard of it.
HawkGamer2008: Ding Dong W... I mean "he" is dead!
most don't
Bloodrayne(a victim of UweBoll) is very linear..why gotta play rayne like that
Max Payne(heard its good) is pretty linear as well(there making a 3rd game)
many more
HawkGamer2008: I really need to play inFamous
HawkGamer2008: But the new WoW patch came out
