GAMES: GameSpot GameFAQs MOVIES: Metacritic Movietome Comic-Con
Friday, Jun 13, 2008

Well, my birthday isn't for a few more weeks but I was treated to some early birthday presents. zeke2040 was kind enough to send me not one but three birthday presents! The Orange Box which I absolutely love. Portal is probably my favorite game out of the five that are included. It's a great puzzle game and I love the fact that it's first-person. The humor in the game is also really fun. Overlord: Raising Hell (which hasn't come out yet) is another game with lots of humor. "Yes master, you're evil! You're truly evil!" The third gift from zeke was Appleseed Ex Machina on Blu-Ray. I have yet to watch it because my other birthday present hasn't come yet, but I'm sure it's a killer movie. So thanks so much zeke for the great birthday gifts! Domo arigato

So, on to my other gift. It's actually a split gift, I paid half and my parents paid for the other half. It's a 40" Bravia HD TV! I AM SO EXCITED!!! I can't wait to get it and re-play all of my games. The first thing I'm going to do when I get it is to watch the intro video for Gran Turismo 5 Prologue, then watch Appleseed, and then play through Uncharted and Ratchet & Clank Future I will definitely have to post some pics when the TV does arrive. I'm hoping to replace my old surround sound system in a few weeks as well. That way everything matches

So there you go. Even though it's not my birthday yet, I'm definitely feeling like it's just around the corner, lol. Happy Friday the 13th mina!

That Sony television sure looks nice.

I recently played the demo for Overlord: Raising Hell. After getting over some of the controls, I can say that I'm looking forward to it.

Happy birthday in advance. A new TV like that sounds really nice. I would like one for my birthday as well but that's several months away. Enjoy all those games in HD as they were supposed to be enjoyed.

Yay, birthday presents galore! I must pick up the Orange Box sometime as I've been meaning to buy Half-Life two for the pass four years! Plus Portal is just incredible. And then a BRAVIA 40" too. Wow! My parents were able to get a smaller 26" on sale earlier in the year, so I've so been stoaked about trying out all my PS3 games on it. Problem is I still haven't gotten round to setting it up yet. But trust me, after seeing Ratchet & Clank Future in 1080p on my friend's crazy, huge 50" BRAVIA my eyes nearly exploded! There's no going back, trust me. I think I'll hook my PS3 up with some HDMI just as soon as MGS4 arrives right around the time of my Birthday (which is also in about two week). Enjoy.

getting a bigger tv makes old games new again

I got myself a 42" Pioneer Plasma with Bose Surround. I couldn't recommend the TV or the Surround Sound System any more. They are fantastic!
I love them
If you are upgrading your surround set up then get Bose

Awesome presents, enjoy them.

usagi704: I will definitely post some pics once I get everything set up.

BigBoss712: I will Otanjoubi Omedetou Gozaimasu to you

Thorpe89: Thanks! I have to admit that I'm a diehard Sony fan, lol.

hart704: The controls were a little confusing, especially controlling the minions, but I loved the humor and the whole take on being "evil". Chaos_Bladez: Domo arigato!

kyleali11: I definitely will! Gives me a reason to replay all my old games now

punkhead66: Hope you get it soon, it's worth it.

anzelm: Thanks! I didn't realize who you were at first since you changed your avatar, lol. Nice look though. Well, at least you have some time to drop some big hints to family members

R-Force: Yes, Portal is an amazing game! I absolutely loved it. And I can't believe you haven't tried out your PS3 on the TV yet, lol. You should get to it How did the exams go?

danieloc92: Lol! In an odd way, death was involved with the reason why I could get the TV

Dzjaansis: Great minds think alike, lol.

kingrich06: Yes, I'm very glad about that too. Now I have something to do over the summer without spending too much money.

killzone_gamer: I will definitely be checking that out.

zeke2040: Yes, thank you so much! Lol!!! I will keep in touch I'll do a weekly check in so you know I'm still breathing. But sure thing, I will let you know once it's all set up and send you a pic from my cell.

Shacks210: I don't know about that.

lusitanogamer: Thanks! Did you get MGS4 yet?

i want that TV!!! anyway congrats and happy early birthday
Posted Jun 18, 2008 5:38 pm PT
Just as soon as my exams are done (24 hours to go) I'll be free, and able to hook up my PS3 with HDMI, at long last. Thanks for caring, by the way. Is there any thing you really hoping to get for your birthday this year? I've been trying to convince my brother to get me a copy of Secret Agent Clank (reguardless of the average reviews, it's Ratchet & Clank - nuff said ), but he's pretty good at surprising me. It's the summer holidays for you now, right?

gamer1049: Thanks

R-Force: To be quite honest, most of the stuff I want are really expensive Like a DSLR camera, a Clavinova, and a Piano Forte (or Harpsicord, I haven't made up my mind). Though since I know I won't be getting any of those. The more realistic choice for a present would be a Shadow of the Colossus figure As for Secret Agent Clank, I was able to pick that up and it's pretty fun. A little repetitive, but still, it's an R&C game. We true fans can't pass it up And yes, it is the summer holiday for me right now. I was going to take a summer class, but decided against it.

Cool Beans! My birthday was 6/18 and I got a PS3! Also I'm getting this T.V http://www.circuitcity.com/ccd/productDetail.do?oid=209191 (Sony 40" Bravia S-Series) for graduation next week, I wish someone would pay half for me. XD Hope you get what you want, take care.
