Hello everyone! How's it going? Wooh! I beat GTA IV about two weeks ago, and I am recovering quite well. I was awfully scared there for a while. I stayed up the entire night once during my GTA addiction. That was a bit too much, even for me. As I said though, I beat it, and I am better now. I still have more to complete to get 100% though, but I'm going to take my time. So what now then? GAMING BONANZA TIME!!!!!

This is not a real event, except that I am making it up right now. If it's not copyrighted, yeah I'm copyrighting that now, consider it copyrighted, done! Anyway, what I'm talking about is a massive shopping spree for video games. Maybe you've done it before, well guess what now it's called a GAMING BONANZA. The all caps is essential to the "bonanzaness." There I just made up a word too. I'm going on one! A big one, whether my wallet likes it or not! I don't care. I need to fill this craving for games. So what I would like to do is tell you guys the games I'm thinking about getting, and maybe you could do me a favor and tell me what you think of them (if you have played them). Basically a "Yeah, definitely get it!" or a "It really wasn't that great." (with some explanation)

For the most part right now, I want to buy some games that were released a while ago as opposed to new releases. Hopefully, by the time I finish the older and cheaper games, the new releases' prices will have been reduced. Got to save all the $$$$$ I can if I want to go on a GAMING BONANZA. Some of these games I may already be sold on, but your opinions would really help me out.

?games I'm unsure of getting

$games I'm waiting for the price to drop

Nintendo Wii

No More Heroes, $Mario Kart Wii, $Super Mario Galaxy, $Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Bully: Scholarship Edition, $Wii Fit?

Xbox 360

Crackdown?, The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion("game of the year edition" worth it?), F.E.A.R.?, Hitman: Blood Money?, Mass Effect?, The Orange Box?, Saints Row?, Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Vegas, $Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Vegas 2, Fight Night: Round 3, Dead Rising, Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare(is it worth it if I don't utilize the multiplayer because I hear single player is too short)?

Also, if you have any games that I have not listed that you highly recommend, please share!

Lastly, I would just like to say: "If you have not seen The Dark Knight yet, GO AND SEE IT! I saw it on opening day, and I really liked it. The joker has always been my favorite comic book villian of all time, let alone my favorite villian of any media of all time. Most villians have an agenda or goal (money, power/world domination, revenge, etc.), but not the Joker. That is why I love him. He has no reason to do the things he does, other than for the fun of it, to promote chaos. He's just so cool like that. His style, his lack of sanity, his poor sense of humor; He is simply the best in villiany. The movie was brilliant in my opinion. Lengthy, about 2 1/2 hours. Very, very dark (hey, it isn't call "The Light Night"). Tons of action, amazing action. Twists, turns. Overall, just a darkly fun sort of ride. So please, I would love to have your gaming opinions, and I'll let you know how the GAMING BONANZA turns out!

Why so serious? (see that movie!!!...seriously)

I have GTA IV. I am addicted. Don't try to save me. It's too late. Must go play......

Oh, oh yeah. Right, this thing...

Well you cannot call me a liar...I told you in the last blog (and probably every other one too) that I wouldn't write for a while. And what happened? Exactly that. Honestly though, I didn't think "a while" would be 6 months. So for that, sorry.

So basically I will just let you know what is going on now, rather than explaining the events of the last 6 months, that would not be fun for either of us, believe me! There's this thing called summer, and it's here apparently. I love it! Yay!

I plan on buying and playing so many video games it is practically absurd. Also, in about hmmm 5 days I plan on taking a plunge of sorts. I will be buying an XBox360. Gah!! And why? Three words and a roman numeral. Grand Theft Auto IV. I cannot wait! After I purchase that, I expect my life to wither away into stealing cars and killing people (in virtual reality of course!). In addition to that, I do no even have the energy to type the other games I will be buying. It's a lot.

So I hope all is well with you guys and gals. I plan on being more active now that I have my long-desired free time. So don't be shy, and I won't be either. For old times sake: Stay Classy.
