Hey everybody! Sorry for such a content dry-spell. I would love to say I was busy, but I was really just playing videogames, watching TV, and working. I guess that's why I''m on this site to begin with, though. Anyways, I just posted my second review. It's about the game Ratcht & Clank: Size Matters. I know I said I would do one on Renegade Squadron, but I couldn't get the multiplayer to work for me. I figured that if I couldn't do a total review of every aspect of the game, then why even review it? My R&C review is pretty short, but I feel like I covered everything pretty well, and gave a pretty balanced opinion.

Some of you (by that I mean none of you) may have noticed I took Oblivion off of my playing list. One of the reasons I did that is what I like to call short term gaming span. I can only play the same game for about a month straight before I switch to another game. Another reason is that I became a vampire, and there's a glitch in the game that won't let me get the cure for vampirism. So, basically, the player I worked on for 2 weeks is now a vampire forever, which sucks a lot of the fun out of the game.

I'm not making any promises for what's next for me, but I know I probably won't be getting any new games until Christmas, so it probably won't be a review. Now I feel like whenever a say something won't happen here, it does. I WON'T EVER BECOME A MILLIONAIRE!

I was planning on writing an editorial over the weekend, I really was! Then I pick up Oblivion... wow. What an amazing game. The gameplay just rocks, and stealing stuff is the most fun thing I've done in the game (so far). But it's very long. Took me the entire weekend just to complete the main story line of the Shivering Isles expansion pack. So anyways, that's what I'm doing right now. Playing Oblivion.

What's my next move? I'm going to put off writing an editorial and write another review. This one's going to be about Star Wars Battlefront: Renegade Squadron. I'm not giving a time table for this one (look how the last one turned out) but it will get done. My pre-review impressions are an 8.2, but thanks to Gamespot's stupid review system that'll get dropped to an 8. The game itself is really goo, but it's just left me with a really empty feeling inside. I don't know... anybody else ever get that? I have yet to try out the multiplayer, because you need some stupid account that you apparently can't create in the game. When did simple convinience of grab-and-go multiplayer get taken over by GameSpy. Stupid monopolies. Great originality in the name, too. The Game_______ hasn't been used 20 million times already, has it? (No offence to Gamespot) [/rant]

If you have any questions/comments/concerns, come find me in Oblivion. I'll be fighting off weird Gargoyle looking things that shoot fire. (Seriously, what is up with those?)

Hello fellow gamespoteans... what exactly are we called? I'll go with nerds. Hello fellow nerds! Sorry I haven't blogged in a while. I've been super busy. I was working crew for our school play, and this week was tech week. Tech week is where you run the show over and over for a week getting all of the tech stuff together and cleaning up the acting. So, what it really means, is you stay in the theater from after school until 7:30 every night until the show weekend. This, and homework, has taken up a lot of my time.

Fear not, though. I should have a new blog post coming out some time this weekend. And guess what? It won't be me ranting about things that annoy me and things everyone agrees with . This post will mark my first ever editorial! I'm pretty excited about it. Right now I'm in the prewriting stages, and I know it's not going to be Soapbox worthy. But it'll be something, right? Just a side track really quick: everybody should join the "Thinking Outside the Box Union". I've been to busy to participate in it, but I can tell this will be big.

For a couple of weeks now, I've been considering getting a DS. I feel like the system would be interesting; there are some good games. Being able to play Nintendo games again would be nice. And the price of $130 is a steal by my standards. But, like most of Nintendo now, I get a big mass market casual gaming feel to this system. Am I right? My current view is "hinting" my parents to get me one for Christmas, but I'm still not sure. What's you're opinion?

Anyways, I just got 3 new games. Oblivion: Game of the Year Edition, Star Wars Battlefront: Renegade Squadren, and Ratchet and Clank: Size Matters. Lots of colons and money, I know, but their worth it. Gotta run, Oblivion is calling!
