WAY LONG TIME, no talk.

Haha, I doubt anyone will even read this.

Well here's what's up.

Yes, I'm STILL computer-less. (Except the few times I hijack my sister's laptop)

Yes, I'm STILL online on the Wii.

Yes, I FINALLY have a 360.

Yes, I have Halo 3.

Yes, I have Brawl.

Well that covers the basics. Haha.

Let's see.

Games:

As I said, I bought a 360. In January, more specifically. We moved and now the router isn't in my room, so I'm not on as much as I should be, but still a good amount.

I have Halo 3 (Finally got all the achievements on March 9th, great timing, huh?) and Gears of War that I play online, but I have a few XBLA games and Tony Hawk.

I bought an Arcade version, so no harddrive right now. But I'll get one by April hopefully.

I got my Wii here still.

I FINALLY bought a new game for it in February. Zack and Wiki actually. It's ok, 7/10. VERY challenging.

And of course, Brawl occupies my time mostly.

I have all the characters, all the maps, beat with everyone on classic, beat with everyone on all-star, beat 15 minute brawl, beat Subspace, beat 100 man once, and I'm working on Boss Battles right now. So I'd say about 7 challenges left.

Well that's really all in my gaming life. I haven't played much. I bought a few VC games like Paper Mario, which was GREAT 9/10.

But nothing huge.

I'm looking forward to Summer for some money to start up my game buying again.

I want:

-Dead Rising

-The Orange Box

-Super Mario Galaxy

-Mario Kart Wii

-Rock Band

-Bioshock

And a few others.

But otherwise, nothing much.

Well I'm out.

Here's how to get a hold of me:

Smash Bros. Brawl Code: 0731-4420-7312

Make sure to tell me that you're from here and what your screen name is. If I don't read your PM sometime soon, sorry, I don't login too much, but just message me on myspace and I'll read it.

Well that's all.

Games: The games are great on the Wii. You cna check out the review I have for Rayman. But...I really think a story game is needed as a companion with a new Wii. I haven't spent as much time with the Wii as I really wanted because I didn't have a game with actual depth. Of course Zelda should be the perfect game to get with this. Otherwise, the Virtual Consle games will keep you busy for a bit. The selection for Virtual Console right now mostly sucks. In fact many games are already a rip-off.  Especially the NES games.

NES

I'm not saying all of them are. But you'll know which ones. Like the sports games. Or Donkey Kong or Super Mario Bros. Unless you absolutely never played old school Mario. Then don't get it. But Zelda is worth it if you haven't played it. So besides Wario Woods or Solomon's Key for NES I think Zelda is the only one worth it. As of now.

I downloaded: The Legend of Zelda

SNES

Not much to say about SNES because they're only two games. F-Zero and SimCity. Of course these games are much fun. Right now F-Zero has been getting much praise, so I would recommend that. And so is SimCity, but SimCity is either a love or hate game. So beware of this one.

I downloaded: SimCity

N64

Only Super Mario 64 fot right now. So nothing to say unless if you haven't played this. It is a must buy.

I downloaded: Nothing (Mario 64 already owned on N64 )

Genesis

Ok I can't really say anything about this. Since I know little about some of the games on here, but when I start to buy points I'll download a couple of the Genesis games.

I downloaded: Nothing (I hope to download Ecco the Dolphin and Golden Axe though)

TurboGraphix 16

Same as above, except Bomberman 93'. A great game may I say! My favorite VC game for sure.

I downloaded: Bomberman 93'

So I'll continue this with an updated blog soon.

1 Wii Console

1 Controller

1 Nunchuck

1 Wii Sports

1 Rayman: Raving Rabbids

1 Legend Of Zelda: Twilight Princess (Can't play until Christmas though)

1 WifiMAX adapter

1 Card For 2,000 Wii Points

1 Warranty For 2 Years

Here's how my friend and I got it.

4:45 P.M: We go to Wal-Mart but it turns out we were too late, Wal-Mart only had 18, 2 on raincheck, and 18 people were already outside.

4:50 P.M: We go to Best Buy, 20 people are already lined up. I ask the people inside how many they are getting, they say 15 for sure but they are guessing about 50-60 in stock. And tis one girl in line said she seen about 30 inside in a stock room. So we line up.

5:30 P.M: Buy food and drinks to last us through the night, and set up sleeping bags with chairs.

7:00 P.M: 8 more people lined up now the line starts to get long.

10:00 P.M: We get bored, as do the guys ahead of us, so they start to burn the sidewalk with a lighter and hairspray. He got kicked out of line, that sucked because he was cool and gave us stuff to do. And he had a Halo 2 hoodie!

12:00 A.M: Employees still inside. All the people in line want Wii's now!!!

2:00 A.M: Shopping cart wars, and kicking around a bottle in the parking lot.

4:00 A.M: Freezing, super freezing. Nothing to do, so we walked over to Wal-Mart (the dudes in front of us saved our spot).

6:00 A.M: Everyone is expecting tickets soon, but everyone gets disappointed fast.

8:00 A.M: No tickets yet, line extends 20 more people. Everyone is mad, cold, and tired.

8:30 A.M: Employees announce that tickets will be given out soon.

8:40 A.M: Tickets are handed out. Everyone in line is guaranteed a Wii.

9:03 A.M: Doors open, everything is layed out nicely.

9:15 A.M: I have all my stuff, I'm super excited, and I hurry off to get my friend with his console so we can get Wii Sports up at my house.

9:30: FINALLY (caps) it is here!!!

Long night...and with school tomorrow. I'm too tired.

Team SWAT on Halo 2 is ranked! Wow....I would've never played this gametype again if it wasn't for the rankage. I am a level 7 so far working with Bansheesdie to get up to level 5. This will be interesting to see modders get an even crazier level with no shield this time. Can anyone "Reverse Ownage to modders" (hopefully). As for every other gametype I have not been modded or standbyed in about 4 months. Of course I have been reported for cheapting by poor sports who sucked so bad they couldn't get into the base. Ah well....I don't have a lot of wins so Bungie knows I don't cheat .

 Jet Set Radio Future isn't too good. It's great in all but on X-Play's top 10 game countdown is scored #9 on the list. I really don't like it that much as top 10 material (I might make a top 10 list for my systems right before I pick up their next-gen cousins so expect a GC top 10 from me around Wii Launch). Of course it is addictive. and for $2.99 at EB Games this was a great bargain. But I am on Chapter 3 of 9 chapters so I should be done with it by next Friday. And then I'm going to start Half-Life 2 to get my friend to shut up about me not even have really playing it yet.

And for the MNU. I will not renovate the union for awhile. I plan on renovating the MNU when I get the Wii because my computer is completely screwed up and I can use the web browser on the Wii to remake the MNU instead. And expect an almost all new officer lineup on the MNU withi the remake also, unless I think you've been a lot of help.

That's about all

School....ugh...I'm already tired of it. But already 2 months in school's going by pretty fast. So far I read "Peace Like a River" by Leif Enger, "Lord of the Flies" by William Golding, "Of Mice and Men" by John Steinbeck, and am currently reading "Catch 22" by Joesph Heller. And in Science for the Science Expo (basically science fair) my friend and I are making an air purification system (like those Oreck infomercials). And in Robotics I got my teacher to consider buying a Wii .

So thats all, laterz!

Ok now for the blog title paragraph. Project PM! My friends and I have decided to do an end of school prank (because that'll be our last year there since it goes 8-9th grade) We're thinking a date of Friday, May the 18, may change but not likely to. And no I will not tell you guys what PM means or what we're gonna do. If you try to guess the only reply you'll get from me is maybe even if it's right. Let's just say it's not exactly original. I will record it though so as soon as I edit it a bit and finish it up i'll upload that to here. This'll be the funniest thing to happen to our school eva! As long as nothing goes wrong! We have begun planning on it but so far we have only planned we should begin work on the.....props of the Project on this weekend.

Anyways, I should begin to work on Half-Life 2 again soon. After gaining dust in my CD case my friend brought it out and played it for a bit and I decided to play it again too. With that I may play a bit of RE4 so I can beat Professional. And I should have a 360 by the end of the year. So far i have been saving for a week and a half and I have $25. If I don't have enough I'll probably still put one on lay-away.

So that's about all

School started on Thursday.....yipee....This Summer was a fast one considering I didn't have online or a comp. And now I have a 10-15 minute walk home...And I have enriched classes so today I learned that our class will be doing 4 long essays by the end of the month...I guess I can't do my homework on the bus anymore. And with 2400 kids in our school (8th grade to 9th grade) our halls our packed! Even though we hold the 8th and 9th graders in seperate buildings.

Well....I finally beat Mercenaries on RE4 unlocking me the Handcannon. I real treat considering my friend had the game for way longer than me and still doesn't have it. I got a new CD, 5 bucks from a friend (because he bet his sister $50 that Halo 3 was going to come out  and she said it wasn't and I lended him a magazine with A Halo 3 cover story). Yeah and that's really all.

Oh and if you're in my union and you think i need to pass leadership then please reply with a yes or no and if you pick yes pick someone. The person you pick has to be an officer and cannot be yourself. Thanks again for everyone helping out my union. And I'll try to get that done soon.

So later

 It's not that I want to be off GS but I can't. But trust me I'm bored. Over the last week I put in 45 hours into Pokemon Gold, 100% finishing Mario Golf: TT (Damn that Shadow Mario for taking me over a year and a half to get), and playing Viewtiful Joe 1 and 2.

So if I have pending friend requests on Live, just keep me pending and I'll accept as soon as I'm on. And I hope I'm on soon. So Later

Also, I'm almost certain that on July 9th I will be going to California for about a week and then I'm going to Las Vegas, Nevada after that! So if I'm certain I'm going I'll let you guys know. But if I am I'll be gone for about a week and a half. And to top it off, I might be getting about $100 to spend over there (last time it was about $135). That means I'll save about $110 and put it towards a 360! This'll be great!

Xbox Live has been flooded with noobs lately. Many should have been giving the infamous award of Noob of the Month, but because of my comp. screwing up I couldn't. Which by the way my comp. is so scrrewed up I can't go to much websites (luckily I can come here though) meaning no Bungie or Myspace for a long LONG (caps) time! So if you need to talk to me outside of here just send me a PM and I'll give you info on where to reach me.

Ahh...tagging. I haven't really been interested in tagging but lately I wanted the emblems. So I've been tagging a lot recently. Note the new Tagger Maker one. I'm predicting a Tagger King emblem within the next 2 weeks. And a Tagger Leader by either tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.

Alright thats about all

Later

Shadow

P.S no A.L for a while since I'm adjusting it. I'll give you word on next A.L

(update)

So Gameplay May Change didn't happen, it's a 100 mb video and my comp. was currently going at 20 kps. And I was at my 14th hour of loading. I can adjust it I just forgot to. So I'll be uploading that as soon as I can because currently I have dial-up....(don't ask)

And I finally got the RE4 review of mine up. I think it's one of my best very detailed. If you don't have RE4 and you do have a CUbe check it out it may sway you towards buying it. And if I could get a few recommendations too that would be great guys...

Tagging....I have to say I'm surprised that I don't have a Tagger leader yet. I was almost 100% positive I had 500 tags...ahh well I should be close to it...

Here's a couple of videos I had to show you guys (P.S The leaning tower of Piza is from one of my friends Agreb91, nice find Agreb!)

http://www.gamespot.com/pages/profile/video_player.php?user=Agreb91&id=K3NiljXw5bkIvz8

and...

http://www.gamespot.com/pages/profile/video_player.php?user=SupaPhly&id=JXI7nzL-5bgFvDI

From now on (starting when I get off dial-up) I will have maybe 2-3 videos of the week. So read up for that soon.

And that's all again

 Anyway, I'm skeptical about getting a 360 this Summer. I'm not getting any money at all. I need to get about $350 for a 360 (I'm predicting a price drop soon). That's all. I'll get games later. I just want one. But I need money. I wasted $30 on a magazine subscription, I owe $10 to one of my friends, I need $15 for a CD coming out in August, I need extra money for some Wii games, I need money for the new Halo book that should be coming out at the end of the year. Ugg...I'm probably going to have to resort to selling some of my games. I cannot part with my games. I have never sold any of my games before (I've traded in once or twice though).

Well there's also a Halo 2 Union tourney coming up June 10th. I teamed up with Angelo333, he hasn't gotten a lot of training recently since he's been of Halo awhile but we should be alright. Last tourney I lost because I had UndoubledZebra on my team and The KR1PT forgot the date and didn't show up because he was my original partner.

So that's about all.

A.L tonight

Send me a friend request if you have one. I'll gladly accept it, just tell me you're from GS and tell me your screen name.

Ok straying off-topic now. I got 3 new games which should last me through Summer. I had $15 I could've put into my 360 fund but I bought 2 games for $6 (in all) and a $15 CD (borrowed money) now I'm in debt! This isn't looking too good .

If I don't get a 360 this year at least I'll have Mario Galaxy, WarioWare, Excitetruck, and Zelda to look forward too. But no Brawl

Oh yeah and I got good grades in school so all I'm waiting for are 2 more semester grade which I'm pretty confident of. Yes!

Shadow

No A.L, hasn't changed
