GAMES: GameSpot GameFAQs MOVIES: Metacritic Movietome Comic-Con

On July 2nd, I turn 16! I can't wait! I always get just about all the games I wanted (which, this year, is about 7 or so), so I'll finally have some new games to play. That's how my gaming life goes most of the time. I don't have any spending money, so I don't get new games. A holiday or birthday rolls around, and I get all the games I've been wanting.

Speaking of games I've been wanting, SMT Devil Survivor comes out in a couple days! YEAH! To kill the time, I've been playing Shadow of the Colossus (fantastic game), Final Fantasy 9 (my favorite), and Apollo Justice (I love it just as much as Phoenix Wright. It's an equally good game. Plus I like Phoenix's new character in it). I've also been replaying Pokemon Crystal on an R4 emulator (because I don't have a GBC to play my actual cart anymore T_T), mostly due to my anticipation for Heart Gold and Soul Silver (which I propose are nw abbriviated to Au and Ag respectively because I'm a chem. freak).

*skip this if you don't like pokemon*

Actually, the 2nd (and 3rd) generation of Pokemon is probably my favorite. The 1st was pretty good, too. The 4th, however, I didn't enjoy much at all. I didn't like most of the new pokemon designs. I hope they aren't running out of ideas...*eyes sparkle* new blog contest time (we had other blog contests?)! Pitch your ideas for the 5th gen starters. Pictures are optional.

*you can stop skipping now, jerk*

As for school, I'm free. I've been free since thursday, actually. I kinda wish school was still in session. I like going to school. Plus, I was enrolled in a course called Leadership 10, that I really liked. It was the first year that course was going to run, and the students were handselected. It ran all year long (I have 2 semesters, each 4 classes. A year-long class takes up one spot in the 1st semester, and 1 in the 2nd), and I got to know my classmates really well, whereas in other classes, I couldn't tell you half of the people's names. I'm going to miss it. Especially because we had a montage of pictures from all the stuff we did, created semi-professionally (as in, the quality was great), and it was very nostalgic. I don't get nostalgic!

Anyway, time for me to sign off. I'll probably blog more over the summer, but don't quote me on that.

P.S. Incase you were wondering what I asked for, here it is:

  • inFamous (PS3)
  • Cross Edge (PS3)
  • Uncharted (PS3)
  • Street Fighter IV (360)
  • Gears of War 2 (360)
  • Punch-Out!! (Wii)
  • 2 2800 Points Cards (360)
  • 2 Wii Points Cards (Wii)

That's it. My dad said to me "I have 500 dollars to spend on presents, go nuts", so I did.

I skipped the Pokemon bit....Wat, you gave me permission.

I wish we had a Leadership10 thingy when I was in High School. Getting to actually know my peers might have made me a happier Symphony, instead of me questioning my peers on everything they know about life.

Oh, and happy early birthday in case you don't return...which you WILL return....This is not a threat...just a very very humble-strong-like suggestion.

@Symphonycometh: That class was awesome. We ran and/or planned every event at school that year, held lunchtime activities at the neighboring elementary school, hosted a Better Business Bureau event, held a car wash, and even went on a kayaking and camping trip. Also, we skipped out on a day for a "Leadership training exercise", went we really went to Mount Seymour to ski and snowshoe Oh, and on the last day, we got our teacher to dress up in a leprechaun outfit (as a bet for the car wash. If we made over $400, he would) with a sign on his back saying "I'm Brucy the leprechaun". His hat was 3 feet tall and made of poster paper...I took it.

You're just going to turn 16!? Yeah Apollo Justice!!! Gonna have to replay all the games over the summer.

I don't even know most of the newer Pokemon. Ahh getting to know people in my classes...something I tend to avoid in order to sleep.

Speaking of turning 16, for some dumb reason I always thought you were older. Silly me. I guess that means you're just THAT awesome, nay? lol

Anyways, I wonder if there's some sort of way to give you a present without me shipping anything to you. Not that I'm cheap, but that I gave my budget to a girl. XD

Well the game situation is kinda the other way around for me. I have to get most of the games myself. I don't even earn money. I only get 25 Euros as pocket money a month. A game costs about 50 Euros. So that means one game in two month. Since I bought the DSi recently that didn't apply. For birthday or christmas I usually only get one and a bit of money. Well this time for birhtday I probably won't even get money or a game. I turn 18 and my father has the tradition to give his sons expensive (well probably not expensive, but one that has quality) shavers as presents for their 18th birthdays. But probably I'll be able to get a new game anyways. I'll just have to see.

As for Pokemon: I kinda agree to you. 3rd generation is my favourite and then 2nd generation. I'm really looking forward to the remakes. They look really awesome so far. And yeah, didn't like the 4th generation that much, either. It was OK, Platinum was actually kinda good, but none of them were as much fun as the old games.

I still have four more weeks of school before holidays. I can't wait until those weeks are finally over!

I am actually quiet enjoying the newest Pokemon games. I am currently fumbling around Diamond but i willl probably start laggin since i received puzzle quest as a gift for helping out at my sisters wedding last Sunday (a congrats to her) I always fall behind on my portable games. Heck, I still haven't finished World Ends With You and i freakin love that game.

as for pokemon. How about we just forget adding new ones and get rid of Bidoof and Ratatta and be done with it, nobody likes you!
