Games that I play online: COD4, Halo 3, Battlefield Bad Company, Halo Wars, Team Fortress 2, Chromehounds and occasionally Forza 2. I have other games (mostly singleplayer) that I don't really play much online though. Sometimes its good to have some peace and quiet.

Anyway, that's the boring bit. On to the actual story (I'm trying not to sound biased).

I have 6th period construction tech class. It is my last class of the day. As I enter the door, Mr. D, my construction tech teacher, tells me I have to sand off the paint from the desk that I used to paint my desktop valet. My desktop valet, which is our final project, was not fully painted yet (wanted to add another coat to the sides). So I told him that I would clean the desk off once I am done painting, because it saves me the extra work. I go grab the blue paint, and dab a little on a palet but before I could start my teacher takes my palet and the blue paint away from me. According to him, my project was completed, therefore there was no need for me to paint anymore. But it's my project, not his of course, and it's done when I feel happy with it, and the wide streaks on the side, clearly needed some work imo. Anyway, now that I can't do anything I start manually sanding off the paint from my desk. This was really boring, and pretty tiresome as there was so much paint. When I finished my desk, he asked me to clean the other people's desks. At the same time, he started handing out marks (I think he was marking them the same day) for that desktop valet which was due last Friday. I got mine back and I got a 65, which at first may look ok, but I got 0 on time management, so I felt jipped. I "completed" (excluding the coats) the assignment on Friday like everyone else. I just wanted to add a nicer, thicker coat on Monday. When I asked him if he would reconsider the mark and at least give me a 1(out of 4) in time management which would boost my mark to a 70, and Mr. D replied no. I told him that he was being a jerk and he slammed his hand on the table in an attempt to look intimidating, then demanded for me to go to the office. I refused, but only because I didn't feel like I did anything wrong. He called the office, and too my luck, our nice VP was absent, so Mr. Manderville (bad VP) was filling in for Mr. Mullens (good VP). Mr. Manderville soon arrived on the scene, and asked me why he was bringing me to the office. I told him that I felt Mr. D was treating me bad and I called him a jerk based on numerous factors. Then Mr. Manderville said I was coming with him to the office, in which I replied, "Truth hurts doesn't it". Maybe I should have kept my mouth shut because Mr. Manderville got this incredibly offended look, and he just escorted me to the office. This was the first time I got sent to the office in in two years, so I thought I might just have to do detention after school or something. But no, I got a full 3 day suspension from Mrs. Mouk, our principal, after reviewing it with Mr. Manderville and Mr. D.

Usually, you'd think you would feel absolutely terrible after getting suspended. But I really didn't, guilt was absent from my mindset. In fact, it's almost like I was getting a nice little break off school before exams. But yea, I had to deal with my parents...and the worst kind in this situation too. The ones that take the schools word for it (100%), and don't believe a single thing you say. Surprisingly though, they were pretty calm about it (which I found pretty scary). They were calm because the VP said I was getting sent home because I called a teacher a jerk. They didn't really think that was a big enough reason to get suspended for 3 days (Say the f word and your suspended for 1 day lol). So we'll see what happens tommorow.

The biggest regret I have by getting suspended, is that I have to hand in all my assignments due throughout this week tommorow. Great.

Thanks for reading. I apologize if the story wasn't as good as you expected it to be. In fact, it was pretty lame. And that's why I put it in the Humor category. It feels like some sort of joke.

PS: I thought E3 was great, might do a blog on it later on.

As for the pics that you lurk, I'll have to get the camera from my sister who lives quite far.

Total Spent: -$4+

Now it's pretty much time for my great depression. I probably won't be buying much until September, just like every other year. Yup, April is my golden age, the time I purchase the most games.

It's not that I don't have money to spend. It's just that it's the only time of the year where my parent's aren't too strict on how I spend, since my birthday is in the middle of April (if only College/University were free in Canada).

In other news, I had to uninstall Shadowbane, since the servers are officially permanently closed, so there really was no need for it taking up the space. But damn, that last day was chaotic, I'm not going to lie. All the turtle's came out of their shell's to fight and there was mayham everywhere. Our guild had to fight waves and waves of enemies. But it was never a concentrated attack...just more like a bunch of people who are asking for a death wish or something. Oh well, we fended them off, not like it mattered. Also, our guild had to close the SB ventrilo server, as it had no use. Gonna miss some of those guys. But I suppose it's time to move on....Guild Wars, here I come!

Eventually when the next gen came, I went back to PC and Gameboy gaming, up to the point where I got a PS2 in 2005.

So now I conclude...Even if the $60 was worth it, I have shared the best memories with the PS1, so it will always have a special place with me.

In other news, I registered for an account in a game called travian(.com, not .us or .au), and right now I think it's really fun (although patience is required). I would recommend the Speed X3 server. Instead of reinforcements taking 12 hours, they'll take 4 hours now! Yay!

If I were to score it, I would give it a 3.5/5. Ending could have been better, it just didn't feel complete to me.

So there is this store called GameJunkyz (exclusive to Oshawa), and it has some pretty good deals, but not a very large selection of games. One of GameJunkyz many sweet deals is too trade in two used 360 games for 1 used 360 game (sports games are excluded, and any used game available is fair game). It almosts feels as if I'm taking advantage of them as I got too know the owner and he's a pretty cool guy. But hey, they don't have to know that I got Dark Sector for $3.99 (peels price tag off).

I guess I'll play Dark Sector now before I have to sleep for school. I hope I don't like it. Because if I do, I will regret giving it away after being with it for such a short time.

UPDATE:

Let's just say I got Halo Wars for two inexpensive games. And unfortunately, I did enjoy Dark Sector. But I'll enjoy Halo Wars much more for sure.

Thanks for reading.

Why do you watch anime?

Yes, I realize some people have a burning hate for anime, but then again, other people like me enjoy it. I guess that's why I watch it. But most of all, animes seem too have some incredibly complex stories, great character development, and a lot of unexpected twists that you do not find in American comics.

OMG, Csalbertcs! That's your Gamespot username too"!

Yup, whenever you see Csalbertcs, there's a 99% chance it will be me. The other 1% would be my stalkers

Oh, and I've just played Halo Wars and I have too say, it is amazing. Is this my first RTS? No. But it's my first console RTS and it works. Multiplayer is amazing, but this is too be expected from a Halo game.
