At least this isn't another E3 impressions blog!

No, I haven't started my own gaming website either. It's gotten to be expected that everyone that is going to be leaving somewhere goes off to start a website or has experienced enlightenment and proclaims they will no longer be around.

Well, I am doing neither of those and I'm not really going anywhere but I also know I haven't been too active on here either. Quite frankly, I have been spending more of my time on Giant Bomb. I have a profile that I started there. I'm under TonyS. I will be posting more under that profile then under this one.

I'll still be hanging around here more or less but I think it's time for a change. I just thought I would let you know so any of you are heading over there then we can be friends... you know... perhaps even grab a cup of joe and have a conversation that requires us to use salty language.

...yeah, not sure where I was going with on the salty language thing...

Nevertheless, I hope everyone out there is enjoying their weekend and if you are in the Boston area and know where the cool hang outs are just let me know. I'm down.

If you have seen some of them then you would have understood where I mentioned The Men's Room in my previous blog. Hopefully that clears up any confusion you might have had.

By the way, the game, as a whole, is brilliant. Brilliant.

5> I have traveled to many different places. This is just off the top of my head:

• Canada
• Mexico
• Honduras
• France
• Spain
• Germany
• China
• Hong Kong
• Korea (South)
• England
• Uzbekistan
• Argentina
• Costa Rica
• Dominican Republic
• and every single state in the United States excluding Hawaii, Alaska and Rhode Island.

4> I never graduated from design school. Many of my teachers did not like my designs and found them to be lacking in presentation. On my third year at design school I had one teacher say, "I think you might want to look into another career. Some people can design while others, just frankly, can not."

This was after I turned in a mid-term project and she critiqued it. Little did she know that it was a project I got paid for prior to turning it in and the client loved it. Shortly after, I got an offer for a position as a graphic designer at a marketing company and I felt that my efforts in design school were going to waste, along with my money.

There were many times from many different teachers that happened but that was the last one I would tolerate. So, I decided I had enough and didn't enroll for the fourth year. Luckily, at the start of my second year in school I decided to start freelancing as much as possible to develop a unique portfolio. I figured that the portfolio I was developing in school was exactly the same portfolio that all my other cIassmates were developing because we had the same projects and there would be little difference between them so therefore I decided to seperate myself. That helped... a lot.

3> I was home schooled from 9th to 12th grade and have a legitimate high school diploma.

2> I never cussed, drank or stayed up later than 11pm from 1995 - 2000.

1> I am getting married Labor Day weekend of 2008.

I never participate in these sort of things but I found out some interesting information and tidbits from people and decided to give it a go. Plus, I haven't said much in a while except for the occasional rare comment,

I now ask the following to participate (but understand if they would rather not):

Alright, enough of the short sentences. For Christmas I received some games. My sister and brother-in-law bought me this.

Suikoden V

Suikoden V rounds out my collection Suikoden. I currently now own Suikoden II, III, IV, Tactics and now finally V. I am now currently looking at getting the first Suikoden so if any of you have an extra one that you wish to sell I would be glad to take it off your hands.

I also received this game for Christmas:

Mass Effect

from this guy:

and I am very much enjoying the game. The game itself is beautiful and the story line is engaging. I have yet to get to the "graphic sex scenes" though [read:sarcasm] James also was kind enough to get me the extra content that I would have receieved if I had reserved it. I have yet to look at that content though.

side note: I also received this game and the extra content from my girlfriend. So I was given Mass effect twice.

The next game I received for Christmas was this interesting piece:

Assassin's Creed

Which I played for a while but I made the mistake of starting Mass Effect just to "see what it was about". I'm sure I will get back into finishing up Assassin's Creed very shortly.

Another friend of mine bought me this nice little gem for my PC:

Crysis

I should think it will run just fine on my Dell M170 XPS... should is the keyword.

I also bought this over the holidays which James managed to snag by pulling a few strings:

Though they were very hard to find over Christmas, I was able to attain one with very little effort which I am thankful for. I also purchased this game to allow the gaming goodness on my new system to commence...

Mario Galaxy

In the past few days along with my recent purchase of the Orange Box I also picked up two other games which are:

Front Mission 4

for only $5.90! I picked it up at Fry's Electronics which is a gamer's paradise. I also picked up:

Growlanser: Heritage of War

I have had some difficulty finding this game but I was happy when I located it. I have Growlanser:Generations Collector's Edition so this is a good pick up for me to add to the collection.

"But Tony! What are you going to do with yourself after you have played these games?!", you say.

Well let me show you what I plan on getting within next few weeks.

Say what you will but my tastes span a wide spectrum of games. I am eager for these new editions. So, what did you guys get and plan on getting in the future?

EDIT:

This just in... I also just picked up...

Samurai Legend: Musashi

for only $6.90 new! And yes... you guessed it! at Fry's Electronics...

Also, as for which Cobra Commander I liked better...

The hooded one of course. He just looks so evil. Thanks Houtx1836 for the question!

CoD 4 Multiplayer is just flat out awesome... even playing with people like "Mr. 2 and 9".

My team is known as many things...

"The Lollipop Guild"

"Team GI Joe"

"Less Complaining More Playing Team" - as given to us by "Mr.2 and 9"

"Team Tony" - in observation of me being the worst player except in Domination.

And we will probably be known as more stuff later on. More good times to come and I think those that aren't playing with us should make an effort to try and join us.

After mulling things over I have come to this conclusion:

For those that are into something more abstract and a bit surreal, I give you UpInFlames' Video Feature. I find it to be a nice video analogy of the scenario and how we should handle it:

Hey! That's no easy task. Ask around if you don't believe me. So, if you get a big 'ole goose egg after you finish playing a map in an online multiplayer first person shooter then you have officially pulled a "Tony". Call me crazy though, but I do see myself potentially getting pretty good at the game. I just have a slight learning curve and if James doesn't stop stealing all my kills and getting all up in my "cash n' prizes" then I might score some points!

Anyways, I am going to rock the house again tonight after training so I will see you when I see you.

*trips over a rock*

Damnit! How does one do that even in a blog!?

But they are NOT!

For all those that want to play... you will get your chance to BOOM! headshot me tonight at 10:30pm(Dallas time). In the words of Bruce Campbell, "Come give me some sugar, baby!"

EDIT: 10:30pm!? BAH! Make that 8:30 pm - whenever for some Call of Duty 4 gaming goodness! Why? Because there is no real fun without Denis laughing at every out cry of frustration I have when I get killed. See you guys tonight!!!

I know some of you have been wondering what I have been doing that has been taking my time away from much of my contributions here at Gamespot. I decided to show you a segment of my life that I have once again taken up. I'll explain more about it later but as of now you can take in this short video that I created originally for the University of Texas Tae Kwon Do Team to help them on their attacking when facing another opponent.
