Thanks for all the positive comments on my Conker's Pocket Tails review. I actually got around to writing my next review this week!
GG's Review #9
I really enjoyed Resident Evil 5, but I was a tiny bit disappointed with it. Honestly, I was expecting more new features. Other than the new partner system and over the top action, it is pretty much the same as Resident Evil 4. The whole new direction of the RE series doesn't bother me though. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed the old RE games, but I'm fine with the new action packed Resident Evil.
Let me know what you think of the review! 
-Gaming Updates-
I've hunted down a copy of Resident Evil Umbrella Chronicles from eBay. Turns out the seller lived 20 minutes away from me, so they offered to refund my shipping cost if I picked it up myself. Small world... 
I probably won't get a chance to play it for a while though.
Resident Evil 5
I'm a lot closer to getting the platinum trophy! I found all the treasure and BSAA emblems. I just have to beat the game on Professional, find/upgrade all the weapons, and get all the figures, then I'm home free! I might go for the DLC trophies too, but they aren't required for the platinum. Plus I'm really bad at the Mercenaries mini game
-Progress: Beat the game on Veteran. I'm currently trying to get a "S rank" on all chapters in Amateur, to get all the figures, before jumping into Professional.
-New Trophies:
(Bronze)
(Silver)
World of Warcraft
Uh, yeah... I started playing WoW again Patch 3.2 came out on Tuesday which changed a lot of things in the game. For one, you get experience in Battlegrounds (PVP places for you non-addicts ). I'm looking forward to leveling up my Orc Hunter, Saayuko, by just running Battlegrounds. She has been parked at 49 for over a year since I've only been doing PVP stuff. My level 80 druid has an awesome new kitty and bear form now. They also added a new battleground but I can't play it because my computer can't seem to handle it. I'm in serious need of an upgrade if my computer is struggling to play WoW.
-Progress: Leveling up my 49 hunter through Battlegrounds. My level 80 is just doing the new daily quests and I might try the new 5 man dungeon.
-Latest Achievement:
-GameSpot Updates-
I lost an emblem. It's probably because I've been reviewing more games, but I hope it's just a glitch. If not, I'll miss you Fish Bowl...
-Life Updates-
Great news!! My senior year project isn't due until the end of September now! 
It's quite a relief because we are no where near completed yet. Plus my partner and I both have other stuff going on in our lives at the moment.
I start my work term at a local TV station on Tuesday. Unfortunately, I don't get paid but my boss is awesome! He said if I saw anything that interested me, he could arrange for me to learn more about it. I'm going to see if I can sneak my way on TV He also said he will arrange for me to ride along in the satellite truck sometime when it goes out for news stories. He also has a jumble of wires for me to organize for one of the main computer servers. Not really looking forward to dealing with that... 
For anyone in Atlantic Canada, if CTV goes off the air in the next 5 weeks, it's probably my fault
Monday, I have to get a MIR scan for my medical issue. I remember getting one when I was small, but I think it kind of freaked me out It's basically a tunnel thing rotating around you using a magnetic field to take pictures of your organs and stuff. I'm curious as to how it works since I have an Electronics background now After that, I should be closer to finding out when I have to get that surgery.
Yep, I've got a busy week ahead of me! Which is good because I started watching "All My Children" due to being bored this week (Did Kendall really shoot Stuart? )
Have an awesome week guys!

Great blog and great quote!!!
I liked RE4 to RE5. Even though Ashley wasn't helpful at all it gave the game more of a challenge. I don't mind how the series is going either, even though I am pretty new to it only having played 2 of the games.
On a personal note, I liked RE5 because the story was just as poorly written and executed as the other games. Irving was clearly a stepping stone to make Wesker seem cooler, and Excella's death was so predictable I could almost say her lines before she said them. There was enough cheese and plot holes and stupidly awesome lines to make it have the RE5 feeling as well. Although I did not like the whole BSAA and military presence and 'I am Wesker and I will destroy all the chaff' elements, it was campy and ridiculous, just how RE should be. The whole Jill thing was almost done with flair as well, too bad a cinematic battle like that doesn't work well with the RE tank controls. In fact, that fight was almost ironic in a sense, from a mechanical and story point of view.
Ok I rambled there, but too bad.
Good luck!lol I would love if CTV went off the air
JK.AMC is still on!? I remember my mom watching that when... I was like 4! lol.
What exactly do you need to have done surgery wise?
Guess you are happy about the whole paper thing, I would be too. Your job sounds really cool, and good luck with the MIR thing. I believe they did that to me too when I had my kidney stones. 
But I can't remember though, in so much pain and on medicine at the time too to kill the pain.
I was kind of nervous about getting it until I read about it a bit on the internet. It only uses magnetic fields instead of radiation. How's TGU doing? It's been a while since I stopped by.@katamari: Just one... and it was only for this week. I swear!
Thanks!@siberian142: My first RE game was the fourth one, then I went back and played the original games. That's probably why the new direction doesn't bother me. Sometimes, I wish they would just carry Ashley away
@grafkhun: Thanks for being honest! I blame college for sucking the creative writing skills out of me
I didn't realize I was using the, this, then, etc., so much when I was writing it. I also noticed those one liners are still present: "I just had an extreme makeover." for example. It's almost up there with the Jill sandwich comment from the first game. As for the story, I knew what became of Jill as soon as Irving set sail on the ship. Feel free to ramble away though! I do it all the time.@HawkGamer2008: I'm working on it
@hush404: I dun have any yet either.. Oh and I might try to steal Steve Murphy's lunch sometime
AMC has been on for lke 40 years! I only watched it last week though. As for the surgery, I don't really want to go into detail, but you can PM me if you want to know.@bigmouthkid: I still want one though
@Colmillios: Thanks!
I was shocked when the seller said they lived near me! Kidney stones sound painful but glad to hear the medication worked! @david_lck: Thanks! It's probably all the math courses I took in college that made me forget how to write well
I'm usually online wit my PS3 during the week, so I might just take you up on that. I'm going to see how bad I am solo first though I forgot about how good that will look on a resume!@canana: Thanks! I'm looking forward to finishing the journey
Oh and great review..as always Good luck on your platinum hunt
Its a good thing though that they give you and your partner an extention on your project cause i know how busy you must be are with other things so that's cool.
that's awesome what your boss is doing for you,hope to take advantage of that,you're lucky as well.
If i was you,i would just get it over with the MIR scan and roll out of there(if its that simple)but i'm sure that you would be fine.
Once again,that's a great quote,keep on posting them and take care.
I'll always want it to be survival horror (REAL survivor horror with puzzles and open ended exploration). These new action shooter RE's (RE4, RE5, RE:Umbrella Chronicles) are terrible generic rubbish to me, and they make me realize just how good the older RE titles were.
Thanks!@JusticeCovert: Thanks!!
@HawkGamer2008: I did fail... That's why I'm doing it this summer
@TriniPlayer: Thanks!
I love writing stuff and kind of wish I would have took something similar in college. I'm really looking forward to the work term though.@anzelm: Ouch! Sorry to hear your save data got wiped.
If you need any help with anything, don't hesitate to ask. Thanks!@Freer: It won't last for long, unfortunately.
@grafkhun: Ah, I forgot about that one!
The "I knew that you'd be fine if you landed on your butt." one from Leon was kind of funny too.@TheKungFool: That's probably the reason why many fans of the old RE games don't like the new shooter look. I still have Resident Evil 0 and Code Veronica to play through for the first time, so I'm looking forward to experiencing more of the original style Resident Evil.
I think Capcom has realized that the game has strayed a little too far from its original direction. I'm predicting that they REmake RE2 or 3, and not with another rail shooter. That seems to be the best move right now.
. Let us know when you get on TV.
@msudude211: Thanks!
@SonicHomeboy: Thank you!
I'll be sure to let everyone know how it goes.@ProtegeRuckus: That would be awesome if they came out with REmakes of 2 & 3! Hopefully at least 2, since Ada and Leon are in it
@paul939: But it's fun...
If I manage to get on TV, I'll see if I can post a video of it here.@kingrich06: Thanks!
Haha, like I'm really one to talk. Anyway, I recommended your RE5 review. Good job. *channels inner Albert Wesker* "Ah! There you are! CHRRRRRRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIISS$$$$SS!!!!!1111oneone111!!!" *silence* Good luck with S-ranks and Professional mode; sounds like it might be tough.
You didn't...
NOT WoW! 
It'll suck out your soul. Lucky break with the project, eh? Just make sure not to procrastinate, ok?
Hopefully nothing goes wrong with the MIR scan either.
You working for CTV. Local? That's some pretty awesome experience.
@DesertClawX2X: I probably won't write another one for a while though. I must have heard Wesker say "Ah! There you are!" at least 100 times
Thanks! I'm ignoring the WoW comment though I got the scan over with yesterday afternoon. It was loud, uncomfortable, took forever, and they had to inject me with an IV full of some image enhancing element, but other than that, it wasn't so bad How is your Editorial blog coming along by the way? Still waiting...@lancelot200: No, but I do know who to buy stuff from in the future
Yep, I'm working for the local CTV station. I work in the Engineering department, but I did get to meet Starr Dobson. I also saw Steve Murphy and Cindy Day in the lunch room. They're only local celeberties but I was still a little star-struck
Someone's been on a bit of a blog spree recently. No more being lazy I see?
I'm actually feeling the urge to disappear again... stupid work @HawkGamer2008: Really crazy!
@furqan2006: Thanks!
I've been using internet guides for help with getting all the trophies. Good luck with the GTA IV trophy.@chandu83: Thanks!
@Chirodip_08: Thanks! Sorry I have a short memory
@T-Prime: Yay, I inspired someone to play more RE5!
I find achievements and trophies give great incentive to try out and find everything in a game. If I wasn't going for the platinum, I know I would have stopped playing RE5 as soon as I beat it. I haven't even tried RE5 super difficult mode yet since I'm kind of scared
