I missed the deadline for Rotc in college, which means I have to wait until next year. Cries.

Just a quick update on some games and what I think about them. The original score is posted next to the game at the beginning.

Call of Duty 4 (9.0) - I think that as of April 3, the score for this one will go up. When I get the new map packs, if they add varied fun to my online shooting, it will go up. Hopefully they aren't too expensive.

Rock Band (8.5) - The drums are kicking my ass. I have all the songs five starred on easy, and all but 4 five starred on medium, so imagine my suprise when I go to hard and its a much bigger jump in difficulty from easy to medium. Im talking three stars on almost every song Ive played for hard (about 33/39). Hopefully as I play it the higher pain will go away, and I will be able to five star more.

Bioshock (7.0) - After getting Hush404's opinion on the subject, I went back and played more than the first hour of it. About halfway through the game, and I love it. New Score: 8.5

Dead Rising (7.0) - Next I made a mistake. I went back and tried to play this, and found out the save system is horrible. With a better save system and more variety, this could have been something. As is, the game got returned (for 11 dollars to Gamestop hush). New Score: 4.0

N+ (9.5) - How can you get higher than a 9.5? Easy. Release more content. Which is exactly what N+ is doing within the next month. When it comes out, if the levels are still original and fun (more co-op = yay), then the score will be raised, as one of my complaints was to few levels.

SPOILER WARNING.

APOLLO JUSTICE: ACE ATTORNEY (8.0)

Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney (8.0) - One of my complaints for this game was a lack of story for Apollo, and to much focus around Phoenix Wright and his story. However, upon completion of the game, my stance is turned, with a BUNCH of suprising twists.

END SPOILER. New Score: 9.0

Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicals was a game I had recently expressed interest in getting. Unfortunately, all the reviews say it suck, as well as a bunch of my friends. Off the list.

Just a quick log of the games I want, have, and have played. I chose most of the big hits for both systems, and included a rating for each game. This is a comprehensive list that I will be updating monthly. Also, I will write reviews for each of these games, starting with the highest rating I have given.

By the way, if you want to be my friend on xbox live, my account is th3m3l33r ... DO put a message telling me who you are with it.

Well, I had a few goals planned out at the beginning of the year, and they're really not going to well. I had planned on learning how to program, but on succeeding at learning Visual Basic, I lost all reason. I'm still trying to learn Java before the end of the year Adanced Placement College test, but its not coming along.

My story is probably one of the two things thats actually getting my full attention. I know how its going to plan out basically, and like it, and I've written the rough copies of the first 3 chapters. I'm revising right now, expect the first up within a week.

I'm planning on doing the news for Maa's union, was supposed to have done it a while back, but some issues got in the way. Expect new articles up Friday.

Gaming wise, I've been going crazy. I got a few new old games to try (Fire Emblem: Sacred Stones, Advance Wars: DS, Phoenix Wright 2, and New Super Mario Brothers). I plan on getting a 360 within a month of Christmas (I can afford one now, but I want to make sure I don't get any new games for my older systems, if you see how that logic works out). The games I plan to get are Call of Duty (Multiplayer), Blue Dragon (Rpg), and another bad ass game. Thats where I need your help. Ill take in responses (if any), and check those games out, because I really don't know whats good. Please make it a genre other than the two listed above.

And I saved my life news for last simply because I didn't want to start on a bad note, don't think I'm an ass for not mentioning it first. My cousin Trevor was recently placed in the Hospital for Leuchimia, which he contracted in the militiary, and he seems to be doing better now. Thats not a sure sign of it being gone, as he could regress at any time, but my hopes are up.

The militiary is definitely my course of action, so when I get out of school in May, I will be offline for an approxamated estimate of one year (officer training). I just took the asvab, and get my score back next week, so I'll let you guys know then. What I want to ask is that you guys keep me in your head for that time, and don't forget, because when its done I'll be coming back. What's badass is that the whole time your in training, your not only getting board, food, and workouts free, your also earning money that you can't touch. I expect to come out to about fourty thousand dollars, and if that sounds unreallistic, its not. Thats around the yearly pay for an O1, and if I can't spend it, what else can it do?

Thanks for listening. Later.
