Update!

Okay, couple things. Number one, I'm done with my stupid crap thing at school that made me not want to do much, so I will be posting more again hopefully. Secondly, I won't be posting here too much longer. I will be moving all my blogging to Cheap Ass Gamer, as soon as CAG 2.0 is up and running. I'll throw that address in here when I do make the move, so however few people follow me can rejoin me there, where I hope to get many more followers. So expect posts, just not many until I move the blog. Thats it for now!

Bully!

So I've been addicted to the game Bully lately. Its a great game and JUST like GTA which is awesome. You are a troubled teen in school, just trying to stay in school as if you get expelled again, its off to juvenile hall. You go through various missions, trying to become king of school. It's quite good, and for anyone who likes GTA, I highly recommend it.

Not much else other then that at the moment. Maybe I'll post more later, you never know!

Allright then!

So this time I am back for real. I don't really know why I stopped posting, but that is over now. I am really gonna try and post once a day from here on out.

Anyway, my laptop exploded. Windows refuses to load on it, so its with a pretty good computer guy. Hopefully he will get it fixed. I don't NEED my laptop anymore, but its still really nice to have for school and such.

In gaming news, I'm back into GTA and clones. I did not beat a few GTA games back when I first played em, so I went through and finished em off. 3, San Andreas, and Liberty City Stories join Vice City and Vice City Stories for games completed. Im now on to Bully, which is quite good. Also I need to be banned from looking up video game lists on Wikipedia. Every time I'm there I seem to always add games to my list of games I need.

As far as movies go, nothing major. I finished off the anime stretch I was on. I have Scarface today as I bought Scarface on Wii, another GTA clone, so I decided to get view the movie to get a feel for the environment. I still can't figure out a good mail system to get two a week right now which sucks, but nothing I can do about it.

Finally, I may actually do reviews soon. I need something to push me to post here more often, and reviews are a good way to do it. They probably won't occur often, but they will occur! I have no idea what my first review will be. Either Bully or FF7: Crisis Core. I've already decided to not give numbers and just do written reviews, as I don't think I would be good with the number system.

Thats it for now, expect much more soon!

BOOM!

Well I'm posting again now. I had some craziness going on the last couple weeks from some class worries, to wasting 48 hours on KotOR. By the way, best 7.50 I have ever spent. The game single handedly got me back into Star Wars, and I am glad. Other than that I FINALLY got BLADE RUNNER on Bluray in the mail today. I shall be watching it tomorrow before i have class, so I will give full amazing impressions on Friday.

SMASH BROS IS SO CLOSE!

Bit late, but here it is!

Not too much to say today on this Retro Thursday or whatever it is. I am addicted to KoToR which I guess is kind of retro considering it came out a few years ago. Fantastic game, RPG and Star Wars, it can't possibly be bad! Just having a lot of fun with it, playing a lot and using the force. Also downloaded Ninja Gaiden 3 for the NES on my Wii. Also an excellent retro game, completing the trilogy on the VC. Now if only Nintendo would give MORE VC GAMES A WEEK! That's all I got for now!

Gaming!

Not much varied gaming this week, basically just some GBA, Xbox, and 360. I'll get right into it.

GBA: New Retronauts came out this week. It's a retro podcast about video games I listen to and makes me want to play some old games. This week they discussed Phantasy Star, so i popped in my Phantasy Star Collection for GBA and began. I've only done the first one so far because I want to keep in order, but from what I can tell it's mindless grinding from place to place with story in between. Perfect while listening to podcasts.

Xbox: This week there was an awesome coupon I found thanks to Cheap Ass Gamer. It was 25% off any used Xbox or 360 game at Gamestop. I found it in time to use it three times. So I picked up Otogi, Otogi 2, and KoToR for the regular Xbox. Considering Otogi and Otogi 2 aren't on the 360 backwards compatibility list yet, I began to play a bit of KoToR. VERY good game, and it also helps I love Star Wars, and pretty much anything sci-fi. I'm pretty sure this is gonna be one of the next games I tackle, as I am in a 360 burnout. I also played Ninja Gaiden on Xbox for the first time. I like it but I will probably wait to continue playing, because I would like to go through DMC first, and Ninja Gaiden 2 doesn't release until May. Final note, I went back through and picked up all the DLC for my Xbox games. I probably won't use em, but I like having them.

360: Beat Condemned on 360 finally. Took longer then expected, no real reason, mainly cause I worked 5 extra hours then I would have liked this week. Also tried some Gears of War. I like it, problem is I just went through a crazy go through of 360 games beating 3 of em in a row and I'm burnt out. So I will get back to it, just later on. I also downloaded my first and probably ONLY, Xbox Original game. The game is Pirates! The series has always intrigued me, and I don't really care about owning a boxed copy of it. Also I checked online, and 15 bucks is a reasonable price for it. Haven't played it yet, but I will be very soon and I'll give my impressions on Thursday.

Thats it for now, got my Tomb Raider games in the mail, and I plan on trying those at some point soon. That coupon kind of threw a bunch of stuff into disarray, but I should be getting around to them soon. I should also have some VC stuff to talk about on Thursday as Ninja Gaiden 3 for NES is coming. See ya!
