Sat, 03 Jan 2009 01:04:08 -0800 Game of the Year! http://www.gamespot.com/users/glennwinton/show_blog_entry.php?topic_id=m-100-25604341 And the winner is!

Metal Gear Solid 4!

unlike most people, i think mgs4 isn't as good as most people think, and i really wanted to give No more Heroes the win, but the open world stuff and the very few glitches made me give it to MGS4

but i think no more heroes is funner(is that even a word?)

however MGS4 does many things right, and some thing that are debatable(a lot of people love how the game is more simplified, i don't, a lot of people think the story is perfect, i don't)

MGS4 deserves to be applauded, as it truely is an amazing game

---------

got some new stuff, i got chrono trigger for the ds, MKvs DC, and motorstorm PR

but i'm missing my chrono trigger case WTF!?

Mon, 22 Dec 2008 20:34:10 -0800 you not gonna believe this(well, you might) http://www.gamespot.com/users/glennwinton/show_blog_entry.php?topic_id=m-100-25596876 i was at the blockbuster near my house looking for a game to rent, when i finally found a game i wouldn't mind playing, Saints row 2(this took me 30 minutes or so) i found out it would cost me 10 bucks, so i said screw it and got a movie instead, i rented batman the movie(the first, tim burton one) cause i'd never seen it. and i was gonna go to my local gamestop on the way back, i wanted to see if they had GTA3 real cheap(they did) and i was gonna see about getting an aplication to get a job there. well about literally a minute or so before i got there, the store was robed at gunpoint! if i had left the blockbuster a minute earlier, i would have walked into a robbery! so instead of walking around the stor for 30 minutes like i usually do, i just left.

oh btw, there was a HUGE line there, that must have been scary for those people buying christmas gifts at the last minute

Thu, 18 Dec 2008 17:14:45 -0800 new games+ im driving more http://www.gamespot.com/users/glennwinton/show_blog_entry.php?topic_id=m-100-25594363 i'm driving alot more than i used to, i used to be afraid of driving, now i like it, and driving means i can go out and do whatever the hell i want, like getting games....nice segway huh

so, i've expanded my 360 collectio from just gears of war 1 and fable 2, to naruto rise of a ninja, banjo kazooie nuts and bolts, and dead rising

i can't play nuts and bolts on my TV....

it's REALLY hard to read it on my TV and it doesn't let you scroll through the text by hitting A and reading some of the time, so it has the text up for a bit then goes on line of dialoge,so every night when i want to play the game i got to ttake it into the living room where the HDTV is and play it there kind of a hassle if you ask me...but it's really good, more like diddy kongs racing than banjo kazooie, but it's great, i love it.

Fri, 12 Dec 2008 10:37:13 -0800 xbox 360 impressions http://www.gamespot.com/users/glennwinton/show_blog_entry.php?topic_id=m-100-25590657 so, i've had a few days with my nex xbox so i decided to do an impressions blog.

first things first, the bad, you know how i am, i like to get the bad stuff out of the way as quickly as possible lol

first let me say the system is very loud almost as loud as a PC with a old fan, of course, it's not to loud, i can still play and listen to my games, especially if you got the volume turned way up.

getting the system online was a pain in the ass too, since i got an arcade, i don't have a hard drive, or an online adapter, but being a current gen system i would think needing to buy adapter's to be crazy,every system should have online right out of the box, with no help from adapters. but worse yet, they are trying to make you pay 100 dollars for on stupid adapter. of coarse i bought a cheaper, third party one, but even that was way more expensive than i wanted, i wanted to buy something other than an adapter, like a hard drive or another controller, but i couldn't cause it was too damn expensive.

also, the hard drive are too expensive as well. for 120 bucks i could by a 500 or 600 gig ps3 hard drive, but can only get a 60 gig for the 360....wtf.

BUT, after all this complaining i have to say, it's a quite nice system, it's got good games and i'm having fun. it has a great online system(although i don't see whats so great about the gold membership, doesn't see to do much more than the ps3, and 50 bucks a year isn't what i would pay for a slightly better online experience)

IF you got a few hundred bucks to spare, and wouldn't mind having some of those xbox exclusives, i'd say get the pro, or elite, as it stands the arcade is just setting you up to get ripped off. lol

oh btw, any xbox owner who want to add me on xbox live, my user name is korotaku

Mon, 08 Dec 2008 20:10:38 -0800 happy birthday to me http://www.gamespot.com/users/glennwinton/show_blog_entry.php?topic_id=m-100-25588816 december 8, my birthday, i got 3 things, a crappy third party ps3 controller(i wanted a dualshock 3) an ipod nano, and.......a xbox 360.

it's nice, but all i've got for it right now is a complilation disc with maybe 2 good games. one controller, and the system, tomoorow i need to buy a game and an online adapter! wtf! no online compasity outside the box!? dammit! i WAS gonna get a second controller or an online premium account, but i've got to buy a 50 buck wireless online adapter, what bull!

anyway lol, i'm 17 now, so i can buy anything i want.....except porn, or beer, or cigs, but I don't want porn, beer, or cigs so im cool lol

when i get an online adapter i'll have to make due with a basic account for now. when i get it set up i'll let you know what my gamertag is, as for the game, i'm thinking of getting gears 1 but i might get something else, never know(i wont be able to get fable 2 right now cause i've only got 75 bucks)

-----

in manga news, i was re-reading my collection of dragonball(original, not Z) and i realised something, near the end of the series, piccolo extends his arm and grabs krillin, he never used this before so it was surprising to all, well he grabs him and pulls him close and punches him in the face, now, in naruto, demon fox naruto uses hi aura to grab sasuke, sasuke is surprised, as he never showed that this was possible before, naruto grabs him and punches him in the face!

same move, same reation, same thing.

i'm trying to figure out if this was a homage, or just a rip off.....

Sat, 29 Nov 2008 18:53:43 -0800 new games+ almost current http://www.gamespot.com/users/glennwinton/show_blog_entry.php?topic_id=m-100-25583769 a little bit ago i got Dragonball origins, actually pretty good, if you like dragonball and got a DS, pick it up, you'll probably like it.

i also got COD WAW while cristmas shopping, beat yesterday and i'm replaying it on verteran mode....dammit is it hard as hell. but i like it.

also i got to lvl 6 on my PSN account.....awesome! i've got somewhere around 218 trohpies right now!

I think the english manga ruined deidara's catch phrase "art is a bang" by making it not a catch prase and him just saying something like "my ultimate art is an explosion" or something like that, it's pissed me off cause that catch phrases was one of the reasons i liked that character

Mon, 17 Nov 2008 12:36:13 -0800 I'm starting to like Naruto more and more... http://www.gamespot.com/users/glennwinton/show_blog_entry.php?topic_id=m-100-25576581 still not enough to watch the show though, i still hate the show... 

idk why, but lately i've been in a big naruto mood, i've been trying to buy s many manga volumes as posible, i've been reading the manga for awhile now, reading as much as possible online(i'm current now, much farther than any naruto fan who doesnt read the manga) then buying the manga legit when i've got the money, but lately i've been trying to buy as much of it as possible, and i'm even on the verge of buying naruto ultimate ninja STORM!( i love how the capatulise STORM so when ever i say the name i'm always yelling STORM in a deep voice lol), crazy, i know.

btw, anyone know how many manga volumes are in one peice? i've got like 14 and wondering how many there are cause the highest volume i've seen in stores is like 24

Seeing as how everyone in my family is having kids and crap makes me sad that i dont even have a girlfreind.
