GAMES: GameSpot GameFAQs MOVIES: Metacritic Movietome Comic-Con
Wednesday, Oct 28, 2009
This is what I believe is my first game review in my blog, but I'd like to share my thoughts and opinions on an exciting game I have for the PS3. I have been hooked on the exciting puzzle game, Bejeweled 2.

Bejeweled 2 has various game modes, including the one I just conquered: Puzzle Mode. Puzzle Mode has 16 worlds, 5 puzzles each, 80 in all. Lots of those puzzles were challenging, but I managed to get them down. I am visually impaired, but I can still see the screen. I just have to sit close to it. For completing all of Puzzle Mode, I received the Puzzlemaster trophy. I have five other Bejeweled trophies: Classic Rock (for getting through 5 levels in the classic game), Detonnator (for destroying 12 gems in a single game), Diamonds Are Forever (for making 3 blue matches in a row), Jewel Keeper (for clearing at least 5,000 gems in my game career), and Six Shootter (for getting a 6x cascade). The Puzzlemaster trophy is the highest graded trophy in the whole game (gold). I am proud to have earned it! It is also the only gold graded trophy.

In case any of you users are big-time gamers, I have a PlayStation Network account. My PSN username is MonopolyMan84. In case any of you have a PS3 or PSP, you can connect with me if you like.

That's all I have for now. See you next blog!

Yesterday I received 2 PMs. I have become an editor for a 6th show, The Berenstain Bears. I have been planning to be editor of that show for several weeks, but some crazy high-leveled user named SrRui beat me to it. I did make several subs, yet I had to show the source I had that episode. He finally gave up his editorship. I guess he wanted to fix the Cast and Crew lists for each episode. I have been adding episode recaps, quotes, and the DVD titles where certain episodes are found.

Well worth the wait, I say. I will continue this job at editing TBB. Bear Country's got a new editor!

Not only will I be working on Sabrina's and Pippi's show guides, I will also be doing another book-related show: The Berenstain Bears. I remember reading at least one of their books when I was in grade school.

I have devised a system on how I will choose the BB episodes I'll be editing. The episode range for this series I will work on is episodes 29-68. Those are the ones which aired on PBS. Here's how I'll choose them. I have cut out some cards-52 in all, just like a standard deck of playing cards, only they don't have hearts clubs and all those things. Hahaha. . Forty of those cards are numberd 29-68. The numbers on the cards represent the episode number of that group. When one of the numbers is drawn out randomly, I edit the corresponding episode that matches that number which I drew.

The remaining twelve cards have special symbols or initials on them as follows: Three cards have DVD written on them. They mean I should edit the episodes on one of the Berenstain Bears DVDs. Each DVD has as many as six episodes. Three cards have DVR written on them. This means I choose one of the DVRed episodes I recorded from the Sprout channel. Three cards are marked with DMC. When one of those cards is drawn, I edit one of the episodes I recorded with my digital media recorder. I put those recorded eps on my PS3 drive for ease of playing them on my system. The last three cards of the pack have the letters TYP (take your pick). Should I draw out one of those cards, I can choose any episode at all from any media source I have. The odds of choosing those special cards at the start of this editing job are 3 to 13. The odds will change once an episode has been completely edited.

I have gathered all the current info from each episode on the show's guide here and saved it all on a floppy disc. Once a full episode of BB is completed (each episode contains two stories), I submit the revised info to that page, and then the corresponding ep number card that was chosen is discarded from the pack. If half of an episode )one of the stories) is edited and I can't find the other half or don't have it at present, I cut off either the left bar or the right bar of the number card to indicate that an episode is not completed yet. That number card will go back into the pot. Each number card has a bar on either side for indicating the stories that were edited.

As soon as I'm down to thirty episode number cards, one of each of the four special 3-letter cards will be eliminated from the pack. When I get down to twenty episodes, one of each of the special cards will go out again. But when I get to only ten episode number cards, there will be no more special cards to try and draw out. During the times when I have between forty and ten cards, if I use up all my saved DVR or DMC programs or if I cover all the BB DVD titles, those cards will be withdrawn from the pot.

Repeat, this is a random selection. Who knows, I may be the next editor for the Berenstain Bears. With that being said, I will now draw the first number from the pot.

It's been exactly 5 years ago since Fred Rogers passed away. I felt so sorry for his death on that day. Even though he's already dead, our favorite television neighbor is still alive in those of us who have known him including myself. Just so long...

Pee-wee's Big Adventure
After watching this movie for the first couple of times, I thought it was going to be very dull. But when I watched it a few more times, I really started to laugh. This movie is completely funny all the way through!

To all you Lizzie McGuire everywhere, Hilary Duff is the tops! The multi-talented female star is such an excellent singer. I have at least two of her albums and all four Lizzie McGuire DVDs. I even enjoyed her concert DVD. As I was viewing it, I...
