Hmm...it's been awhile since my last blog post.

Thu, 01 Jun 2006 21:06:03 -0700

So I've been playing quite a bit of Metroid Prime: Hunters online. It's quite fun and I'm on the verge of becoming a 3 star hunter. For the past hour or so I've been playing with some friends from Nintendo United, and finished pretty well.(My friend code is 1031-5046-9100 add me if you want to play).

There isn't much else to report, I'm thinking of buying Half Life 2: Episode 1 but I have many other games that I have to play. I can probably put another 100 hours into Oblivion, which has no shortage of things to do.

Sorry for the sort of boring blog post, I need to get back to MP:H.

Level 23!

Thu, 11 May 2006 06:12:57 -0700

It's been awhile since my last blog post, and advancing a level was a perfect excuse to do one . I've been playing a lot of Oblivion, I've mostly been doing sidequests but I think I'm going to venture into one of the hellish Oblivion dungeons tonight. E3 has been great so far, SSBB looks great, and I can't believe they managed to get Solid Snake as a character. And Crysis looks utterly amazing, download the awesome trailer. I hope everyone is doing well, and I'll try and post in all your blogs . BTW Super Bagman FTW

Nintendo Wii (A Rant)

Thu, 27 Apr 2006 13:44:50 -0700

Like most Nintendo fanboys, I was excited about the Revolution. In the past few weeks there has been a flood of info. New games announced and even some screenshots of Ubisoft's Red Steel which looks(and sounds) excellent. Unfortunately Nintendo seems to have botched one of the most important aspects of a console: it's name. While Nintendo is trying to appeal to everyone, even none gamers, they can't ignore the core market, which is mostly made up of male teenagers. The Gamecube had an image problem as most of this core market perceived Nintendo as "kiddy". If Nintendo wanted to change that they should have thought up a name easy to remember and sounds sort of cool.(The Revolution was fine.) But now the Wii is going to going to be the laughingstock of the next generation of consoles.(What will the sequel to the Wii be called? Wii Wii ) That's the exact type of thing Nintendo wants to avoid. They want their console to be considered cool, not have jokes made about it. Now the Wii still has a lot going for it, but for people to buy it, Nintendo will have to overcome a huge barrier: no one wants a console named the Wii.

Of course I'm going to still get the Wii(It feels odd not calling it the Revolution) and I'm going to have a really fun time with it. But I cannot help but think how big an opportunity Nintendo missed out on.

Well, I'm level 21.

Tue, 04 Apr 2006 13:48:06 -0700

I just made it to level 21 "Rescue Ranger". It's sort of boring being above level 20 because it takes quite a bit of time(about 2% a day) before you level up again. I hope everyones enjoying their games. I got Oblivion yesterday and I'm going to start over. The guards keep arresting me. But everything else about it is amazing, just make sure you have a powerful rig. So long. I'm trying to write some reviews with mixed success. I don't think I'll be able to write a review for every game I get this year but hopefully I can at least actually write some. So long, have a happy...April!

This is getting annoying

Gamespot is at it again fixing everything. While the redone emblems will be nice. It seems as if in order to improve things, Gamespot has to break them first.

Phoenix Wright was a game I always wanted to play. And it looks like I'll finally be able to play it without spending $75. Hopefully I can get it along with MP:H and Tetris

Man, I just beat a 3 star at Mario Kart

Tue, 10 Jan 2006 15:19:30 -0800

It was a crazy match with 4 people all of them in Egg 1. We did baby park twice and both times it was insane with shells everywhere and he finished 3rd in both of those races.

3000 Posts

Tue, 06 Dec 2005 14:02:16 -0800

For awhile I've been trying to think of something to start off my journal, and this is the best reason at the moment. I've been posting a lot lately trying to average around a 100 a day.(I did 200 on Sunday.) And hopefully it won't be too long before 10K.
