Well it's been an extremely long time since I've written so I figured I'd get going again.
With the recent money I've thrown down on a ring for a marriage proposal to my girlfriend added to the amount of cash I've thrown at my car this week, my gaming priorities are going to have to be set straight. First off, FIFA 10 and Modern Warfare 2 will be purchased. Modern Warfare 2 on day one and probably FIFA 10 around that same time (both for the 360 because that's the console I own!)
Now then, I planned on purchasing Dragon Age around Christmas time but now I'm anticipating of beating Brutal Legend in 2-3 days and sending it back to Gamefly, I'll be able to obtain DA from Gamefly. I'll also be receiving Borderlands from Gamefly. I have high anticipation for both of these games but I may not be drawn into them so the rental is the best way to go. The reason Gamefly works out so well with these titles is that I can purchase them for less than full price if I choose to do so. If I'm sucked into both of these titles it will be the best way to go about this. If not....
I'll save my money for a PS3. That's what I've been planning on doing this whole time but I've been side tracked by many things (stated previously) not to forget money I owe family members and student loans. But the only other games that are 360 exclusives I really care about are Mass Effect 2 (of course) and Bio Shock 2.
At the moment my purchases for the PS3 would be Valkyria Chronicles, Demon Souls and Uncharted 2. Metal Gear Solid 4 is up there too as well as the Ratchet and Clank games. I've heard alot about Infamous too. What other PS3 (exclusive) games are there that are worth picking up?
Well I hope everyone enjoys this crappy blog and I'd gladly welcome any comments or suggestions, but I'm going to go play some FIFA and go to bed.
Goodbye for now and hopefully I can get inspired to start writing about interesting stuff one of these days.
Ok so I've thought of a much better topic to write about thanks to Nate.
THE BREWERS!!!
So it's the beginning of the 2nd half of the season and the Brewers are an underwhelming 48-47. But I guess 2.5 games out of first place isn't so bad. The unfortunate thing is that Soriano is starting to heat up and who knows what kind of shenanigans the Cubs will pull. It seems like the road to the NL Central pennant leads through St.Louis. They have disgustingly consistent players and now that they picked up Mark Derosa, they have an additional bat that can play anywhere and hit for power. Luckily the Brewers recently traded for Felipe Lopez from the Arizona Diamondbacks. He's a solid second baseman that can finally fill the hole the Brewers have had at the leadoff position ever since Rickie Weeks was lost to the disabled list. A lead off hitter that is a switch hitter and is batting over .300 is a welcome addition to the Brewers. With Lopez on the team that helps alleviate some of the pressure and stress that bench players such as Casey McGehee were feeling. Consistent hitting will also be important. Prince Fielder picked up where he left off after the All Star Break as well as Ryan Braun. It will be important for the rest of the team to contribute and drive in runs in scoring position. And for Corey Hart to get out of his slump!
If the Brewers are unable to make a move for a starting pitcher before the trade deadline, scoring will be absolutely vital to winning ball games. Depending on how long Dave Bush is going to be out for and if he is going to be 100% when he returns will factor into the need for a starting pitcher. Braden Looper has surprisingly been the Brewers most consistent pitcher this year. The resurrection of Manny Parra is another vital part to the Brewers potential success in the 2nd half. Parra was sent down to the minor leagues after a lackluster beginning to the season. After returning from the minors it seems that he has settled down and is beginning to come into his own. As you can tell I'm very excited for the 2nd half of the season and I'm hoping for the Brewers to win the Central and if they can't do that get the Wild Card. But then again, if their record is over .500 I would be estatic after all of the losing seasons the Brewer fans (and myself) have had to deal with. Thanks to Nate for getting me going on the Brewers!
I hope you all had an enjoyable weekend. Mine was good. Spent some time with my family and spending some quality time with my girlfriend. Some of my plans fell through due to the enigma that is Wisconsin weather. It looked like it was going to rain all weekend and it rained the only time I had plans to spend time outside. I watched Schindler's List for the first time today and wow, what a powerful film. It was a long movie but it was extremely captivating. It was a very emotional too, but the scene at the end when Schindler is about to flee Czechoslovakia and part with all of the people he saved was the most powerful scene in the movie for me. I'm really anxious to hear back from the Hospital this week to see what their decision is. (This job would be incredible)
Brett Favre, is a major douchebag. I'm probably going to go trade in Oblivion tomorrow ( I tried and I tried but I just can't get into that game) and Persona 3 so I can pick up P3:FES. I might start up Gamefly this week to get Prototype, it just doesn't seem that amazing though. I'm direly waiting reviews.
Well that's all I have in me for today. Maybe, one of these days, I'll have a coherent post that follows some sort of beginning, middle, end format.
