Hey guys. Thanks to AlmightyMax, I've been tagged. Is that a good thing, or a bad thing...?

Nah, it's a good thing. I was wanting to post another blog recently anyway, but I didn't know what to write about. Thanks for the excuse, Max.

Well, here we go. Ten facts about me:

1. I have a terribly difficult time with Math in school. I'm taking a math class called 'Algebra1B' with 12 or 13 other people in my grade included in the class. It's basically the other half of the Algebra course, which last year was called Algebra 1A. Yep... Me and the others in my class are quite terrible at math.

2. I went to the Homecoming dance with my girlfriend a few days ago, and it was actually a lot of fun (Keep in mind that I don't really know how to dance, and I was really nervous about going.. But luckily I started to dance eventually, and things got better)

3. I am a Strong Agnostic. This means that I believe that I cannot possibly know whether a God or any higher being exists or not, and neither can anyone else. I'm not trying to offend anyone here, this is just my belief. So if you don't like it, scram.

4. The reason my family does not go to church is because my grandfather died soon after I was born. My mother was full of sadness from her father's death, and so we never got the chance to go to church. In many ways, I'm glad that we never got to go, but in other ways, I'm not as glad. I'll explain the details some other time...

5. I play tennis a few times a week. It used to be only once or twice a week.. Hopefully by doing this I can eventually become a really good tennis player, and become famous.. Ah, but those are only hopes and dreams..

6. Playing video games calms me down. If I'm feeling stressed or upset, after playing a game, I feel alot better. And that is why I sometimes play video games for many hours at a time... Hey, it's better than drugs and alcohol!

7. Although even if I didn't have any video games in my life, I still wouldn't do any of that crap (drugs, alcohol, etc.) because I've taken a pledge to myself to avoid any of that. It's just plain wrong, and it can seriously screw up your life, or the lives of others around you.

8. I dislike social networking sites, even though I do have a Facebook account. I'm somewhat forced to use it.

9. Unlike Max, I actually like using smiley faces sometimes!!

10. I still havn't posted that video blog of games that I own for the PS3. I apoligize!

And that's it! Hope ya liked those facts about myself. See ya on the interwebz..

-Peace, Matt

(P.S. Uncharted 2 kicks ass. I'm goin' for the Platinum Trophy now.)

Uncharted 2

(P.P.S. I recently went by Gamestop to trade in some games. I returned inFamous (PS3), Prince of Persia (PS3), Resident Evil 5 (PS3), Spiderman 3 (Wii), and Sonic and The Secret Rings (Wii). By trading these in, I reserved a copy of Modern Warfare 2.. And I don't have to pay a cent for the game! Actually, the gentleman at the desk told me that I actually get a penny back from returning those games! Hm.. What to do with 1 cent of Gamestop credit.... Any ideas?)

@x2926014: That means a lot to me, thank you

Uncharted 2 does kick ass, it was fun playing with you . Nice facts.
Posted Oct 26, 2009 4:04 pm PT
...being Tagged is a bad thing. -_- and great facts.
Posted Oct 26, 2009 4:17 pm PT
Nice list.
I've never done drugs either, or smoked, and I've never been drunk (although I do have the occasional glass of wine). I'm also not big on the social networking sites (even though I guess GS would count ).

5 games? The EB Games/Gamestops up here generally have a trade-in-3-get-it-free dealie.

I don't plan to drink because I don't like the taste of alchohol. I'd try hash, though (this is what happens when all your heroes are rock stars!)

I hate math!!! I have always sucked at it!!! And I for one believe in God. And I think you should buy a gumball with your cent!!! Oh wait...it is credit?! Um....I don't know of anything at Gamestop that is a cent!!!
Posted Oct 26, 2009 4:55 pm PT
Interesting facts, well done tagged blog. Have fun with MW2 once you get it. Wow are you kidding me? There are tons of things you could get with one cent.
Posted Oct 26, 2009 4:57 pm PT
Nice facts, we have a lot of things in common... I can't stand Facebook either, lol. Damn, you must really be excited for Modern Warfare 2 cause you traded in some seriously awesome games for it. InFamous was probably the best game I've played on the PS3 this year (I liked it even more so than Uncharted 2 )...
Posted Oct 26, 2009 4:59 pm PT
Nice facts. Who are you tagging though?
Posted Oct 26, 2009 5:18 pm PT
Hi Matt. I applaud number 7. Excellent plan.
Posted Oct 26, 2009 5:44 pm PT
Im still waiting on the video.. slacker..
Posted Oct 26, 2009 6:14 pm PT
Cool facts.
Posted Oct 26, 2009 7:01 pm PT
Really interesting stuff. I'm glad you were tagged

And you are correct. Uncharted 2 kicks all kinds of ass.
Posted Oct 26, 2009 7:35 pm PT
@i_PWN_fanboys: Thanks man. It was fun playin Uncharted with you as well, we should do it again sometime (if I'm not too busy with schoolwork)!


@PolskaKing: Well, I consider being tagged a compliment thanks though. @ebbderelict: That's good to hear. I think that when I'm of age, I'll have the occasional glass of wine as well. I wouldn't really count GS as a social networking site, I'd consider it more of a place where you meet new people who have similar interests. You don't really tend to meet new people on Facebook or Twitter, just people you already know.
Posted Oct 26, 2009 7:41 pm PT
Well done!

I don't "know" how to dance either. But people tell me I'm a good dancer. lolwut?
Posted Oct 26, 2009 7:46 pm PT
@AlmightyMax: Well, when I checked the receipt for the games I returned, I only got $2.76 in store credit for SpiderMan 3 (Wii). That's barely anything! I should have just sold it on ebay for ten bucks. That's a pretty good deal at your Gamestop, though. I'm jealous!


@katamari: I hate math so much!!! ARGH! Hopefully it'll get better as the year goes on though!


@hank_101: Heh, yeah right. Name a single video game that costs one cent! (Actually, E.T. the Extra- Terrestrial for Atari 2600 might cost that much... IF you can find a copy). I dare ya to find one
Posted Oct 26, 2009 7:48 pm PT
Actually, last time I traded in 3 games I got a $69.99 new game free and ended up with $12 extra credit.
Posted Oct 26, 2009 7:53 pm PT
@Slimdave21: Well, I've played the hell out of inFamous, and I don't really plan on playing it again really. Although, I'm probably going to regret that soon But out of the 5 games that I traded in, inFamous was seriously the only worthwhile game. Resident Evil 5 was good for awhile, but then I just got bored of it. And the other 3 games... Were not that great. That's cool that we have a lot in common


@nintendoboy16: Oh, I hadn't really thought of that... Well since you mentioned it, I'll tag you, mprezzy, and Slimdave21. Of course, I need them to see this, so I'll say @Slimdave21 @mprezzy... You've been tagged!!
Posted Oct 26, 2009 8:01 pm PT
@kellymae: Thank you


@unplaystation: Hey! I apoligized! I've just been really busy, and havn't had the time nor the will to shoot the video blog I'll try to get it posted soon. @mitu123: Thank you


@johnsteed7: Thanks! I'm glad as well. It's always fun sharing facts about myself with everyone here.
Posted Oct 26, 2009 8:04 pm PT
Trade-in 5 games for 1 game and 1 cent. Yeah, that's **** in' Gamestop.
Posted Oct 26, 2009 8:57 pm PT
Nice facts
Posted Oct 26, 2009 9:15 pm PT
Tagging is become popular again.
I bet that the reason that u named your user name on GS was because of #5.
Posted Oct 27, 2009 12:08 am PT
Lol go buy a penny sweet!
Posted Oct 27, 2009 2:26 am PT
Nice facts mate Enjoy Uncharted 2!!
Posted Oct 27, 2009 6:02 am PT
Aha! I'm already it so you can't tag me! Eh..I guess that still makes me it....

I need to use emoticons too, because of my sarcasm. Otherwise people can't pick up whether I'm serious or not.

Agreed on math. Ironically, I scored higher on the SAT math even though I hated math. Guess I overstudied.

Did you know Agnostics used to believe in God too? (Like, 1500 years ago or more). They just didn't agree with the Gnostics on how they felt about God. Yeah, history guy here. Still, no need to defend yourself in my opinion!
Posted Oct 27, 2009 6:30 am PT
Your traded 5 games in for 1... you could've got more if you sold them on eBay
So you suck at math... which subject is your fav? I was good at math but I hated english
Posted Oct 27, 2009 6:35 am PT
inFAMOUS? How could you? In other news, great facts, I'll be supporting ya' all the way for the tennis dream
Posted Oct 27, 2009 6:46 am PT
Glad you enjoyed homecoming...happy memories there for me too. You will not forget that night and you will smile in years to come.
Posted Oct 27, 2009 2:32 pm PT
@AlmightyMax: Damn that's a good deal!
Posted Oct 27, 2009 2:36 pm PT
@nate1222: Yeah well, life isn't always fair, especially during today's economy :/ I never was going to play those games again anyway, well besides inFamous, so it's all good. @syler4815162342: Thank you


@Kleeyook: Good guess! #5 is correct.


@tyzwain: They sell penny sweets at Gamestop?! ..Wait.. You're just trying to trick me. Grrr.. @M0wen10: Thanks man! Did you get the Platinum in Uncharted 2 yet?
Posted Oct 27, 2009 2:40 pm PT
@mprezzy: Argh. You were already it.. I suppose my tag was of no use. That's exactly the same reason why I need to use emoticons as well! @ theslimdavylp: Ah, we are the opposite. I'm very good at English and literature, but I am terrible at math


@SGTiD1NG0: Thanks dude, I knew I could count on your support! I still got a lot of practicing to do if I wanna get good, though.
Posted Oct 27, 2009 2:45 pm PT
Nice facts. It's nice to know more about you. Hope that didn't sound to creepy
Posted Oct 28, 2009 9:32 pm PT
@Ifnot: Nope, not creepy at all!
