    What TRICKERY IS THIS!!!????

    Seriously... what the fudge.I re-ressurect myself for this nonsense.MS has FFXIII now? Seriously.What madness is occuring?The MS conference is for the 360.Green = 360.Why the hell did The Grinch not make an apperance? I demand a Grinch game.

    But there was no Grinch game.In my sorrow and despair, here is something I wrote while being in absolute sadness.

    Lonely king Iszeal.
    How are thou elbert?
    Now albeit no remorse.
    He came to a onyx stone.
    He can't have melt of cheese here.
    He thought of undying souls in the cave.
    He fought the snakes here.All cried, all sang.

    He found himself.He was no longer meek.The L ruled the M.The T ruled the K.All returns to normality...

    And The curtains rised...

    The Final Goodbye

    If you are now reading this, then I am no longer a part of this community.And if you must ask, Yes I was banned for about 17 Hours.I won't say why.

    Me and finalfan789 were talking for a while regarding this, and we both agree that GS has gotten boring and that it's taking up all of our time, preventing us from doing our Daily Activities.He has School and I have not gotten any decent Gametime in a very long time.And I mean very Long time.It's time I left the Site for Good.I would have Left Sooner, but with All my Unions and responsibilites, I did not do so.

    I enjoyed my time on Gamespot these nearly 4 years and I've met some great people.But my time here and all of my time here has been killing my Life.I'll be Entering College in the Fall, so I'll have to study up for that as well.And until then I am going to resume my Daily activities and keep on Gaming.I havent put any decent Gameplay Hours Since January.That isnt very fitting of me.How am I a gamer at all?

    For those who know me through Steam, Msn and Aim, you will no longer be able to reach me there.I have begun a 'New Life'.Go ahead and get Pissed and Make A Blog how I left of how you're threatning to Leave.It's not something I condone in all honesty.And it wont make me come Back.And If I do, it certainly will not be under this name or as My Alternates, LosGrinchos, Newgunner07 and L-Lawliet.

    I've really enjoyed this past year with all of you, and it truly was one of the best years of my Life knowing all you great people and sharing our Gaming Experiences, but all good things must come to End, and now is the time for me.

    Regarding my Unions, I am sorry.I just feel like I'm not gaining anything from coming here.I spend too much time on this Site.Even when I'm not posting I'm still looking through various Forums.I'm killing all my time, even though I'm not even Logged in.I knew this day would eventually Come and after 10K Posts, it seemed this Blog would be Inevitable.10K had always been my dream before I left.

    To the Members of The Everything PSP Union, I am sorry for Leaving.But it is something I have to do, and being on here isnt going to make me get on with my Life.Abogj will do a Good Job and whatever he does with the union, I know he'll make you all Happy.Whether He Decides to Kill it or Not, That is up to him.I'm sorry for giving you this responsibility.It's hard Managing a Union when only a few people post and most Officers dont post there.I tried my hardest with that Union, but in the End it wasn't sucessful as I wanted it to be.There was always a Wall preventing it from Being Sucessful and active.

    I'm Glad I met you Abgoj, because me being here on this Site would not be the same without you.

    There's nothing new here anymore. Since I will no Longer be here, I may as well Spit it out.Abgoj was Number 1 on the Top 10 Friends List I never finished.I am sorry about that I never did.I truly am.I always made Broken Promises.Laziness had always caught up to me.In a Nutshell, I'm glad I was able to meet with all of you.I would go on and say a Little something about all of you, but that would Take forever.I'm simply Glad I got to meet all of you here.Thank you for making my Nearly 4 Years on Gamespot this memorable.

    For Those who still wish to Communicate with me, Please contact me at my Email, AsakuraHao2004@gmail.com

    Goodbye, and Farewell!

    19 Years ago, a Woman gave birth to a boy on her Birthday, April 1st 1989.Yes, today is my Mother's birthday as well! She turns 45 today.I was her bday gift! I wasn't on today since I was out with my friends playing RockBand and I just didnt get on today, but I am now.So, I'm going to comment all on your guy's/gal's blogs now.

    I've experienced a lot of things during my 19 years here.And it's great I can share all my experiences with you guys, and I truly am glad to be alive, through all the problems I've experienced a few years ago.Oh yeah, I'm 97% on Level 26, so I'll be soon Level 27, Double Congrats to me!

    So, what I am doing today? I'm going to be with my Mom (Since it's her and my bday), and have some bonding time.With the gifts (Money, that is) I plan on getting, I want to get a Wii finally.I'll have to go hunting for one as well as snag a copy of Brawl.My Mom's friend has also offered to give me $100 for putting 300 Cd's into his iPod. I finally feel like I can get a Wii Now! I'm also having a Bday Party on Saturday (Lol, I'm 19 and still having Parties )

    Well, in closing... TODAY IS MY 19TH BIRTHDAY!!!!

    UPDATE:

    For Those In The U.S... Who wants a free can of Dr.Pepper?

    *Yes, this blog is about Guns N' Roses*

    Sorry about not commenting on the previous blog with all the recent comments.There are quite a lot of them and I've been rather busy....

    Ok.Today has been a rather odd day.For those who don't know, I'm a really big fan of Guns N' Roses.And I've been hugely expecting Chinese Democracy.Chinese Democracy is the long delayed GNR album that's been in the works for about 9-14 years.But this recent happening took me quite by surprise...

    Dr.Pepper will give everyone in the United States a free can of Dr.Pepper if Chinese Democracy is released this year.

    Getting this free can won't be easy!

    ===================================================

    Dr Pepper Will Give Everyone* in America a Free Soda If Axl Rose Releases New Guns N' Roses Album, Chinese Democracy, In 2008
    *Guitarists Slash and Buckethead Will Not Be Eligible For Free Soda

    *^ at bolded statement*

    PRNewswire
    PLANO, Texas
    (NYSE:CSG)

    PLANO, Texas, March 26 /PRNewswire/ -- Tired of a world in which Americans idolize wannabe singers and musicals about high schoolers pass as rock 'n roll music, Dr Pepper is encouraging (ok, begging) Axl Rose to finally release his 17-year-in-the-making belabored masterpiece, Chinese Democracy, in 2008.

    In an unprecedented show of solidarity with Axl, everyone in America, except estranged GNR guitarists Slash and Buckethead, will receive a free can of Dr Pepper if the album ships some time -- anytime! -- in 2008. Dr Pepper supports Axl, and fully understands that sometimes you have to make it through the jungle before you get it right.

    "It took a little patience to perfect Dr Pepper's special mix of 23 ingredients, which our fans have come to know and love," said Jaxie Alt, director of marketing for Dr Pepper. "So we completely understand and empathize with Axl's quest for perfection -- for something more than the average album. We know once it's released, people will refer to it as "Dr Pepper for the ears" because it will be such a refreshing blend of rich, bold sounds -- an instant clas.sic."

    Show your support for Axl and get on the nightrain of encouragement at http://www.chinesedemocracywhen.blogspot.com/ -

    ====================

    Then Axl Rose sent out this statement:

    " We are surprised and very happy to have the support of Dr. Pepper with our album Chinese Democracy as for us this came totally out of the blue. If there is any involvement with this promotion by our record company or others we are unaware of such at this time. And as some of Buckethead's performances are on our album I'll share my Dr. Pepper with him".

    This statement can now be found on the Guns N' Roses website.Here is the link to his statement.

    There's something regarding this statement though.It appear's rather factual.Did you read beyond the lines? Dr.Pepper promises a can to everyone in the U.S.But, Axl Rose promises to share that can with Buckethead! He couldnt be able to get one if it wasn't free meaning... yess.. YESS!!

    CHINESE DEMOCRACY STARTS NOW!!!!!!!!!

    2008 RELEASE HERE WE COME!

    =====================

    Yeah, Buckethead is still on the album!

    No Joke.I didnt know whether to believe this at first.Then it was everywhere, New York Post, GN'R message boards I frequent, CNN, AOL, MTV, etc etc.

    I even posted this in The Gamespot Off Topic board.Here is the link to that.Thanks for Shiggums and icarus212001 for posting there!

    So do you think this will actually work? Is this the year it's finally going to be released? I myself have enjoyed the Chinese Democracy Leaks from 2006 and 2007.

    What are your thoughts on this marketing campaign? And who wants a free can of Dr.Pepper?

    All in all, I think this is pretty hilarious.

    By the way, I got re-tagged.This time by TriEgeFury26! Thanks!

    Expect more facts.. Tomorrow!

    5 Things... (I got tagged, Oh Noes!)

    It seems everyone on my tracked list had this blog done because they ended up being "tagged" by someone else.I got tagged by finalfan789

    1. I have an incredibly good memory.I'm able to remember a lot of events during my childhood and even in the present that my friends are surprised when I tell them of such events and they say they dont even remember that.

    2. I never learned how to ride a Bicycle.

    3. My entire family hails from Ecuador.(Yes, I know spanish)

    4. Guns N' Roses is not my favorite band, despite me talking alot about them.(I guess this is more of an "inside" thing).

    5. I do it for the lulz.

    Ok, I guess I'll tag...

    Abgoj, 5_LD_5, hack-shinobi, phoenyx9, Rasengan_X, Marksman2200

    If the above people have been tagged already, then ah well. And yes, I did 6 instead of 5

    ======

    By The Way, Im not using that Richter Blog Header I made, it's a different one now.The colors looked a little odd to me.Im also going to make the banner I have above have more vibrant colors.I've also been playing the Castlevania Double Pack, Harmony Of Dissonance more specifically.Im currently 82.3% in and I have clocked in 2:42 so far.

    Oh yea, one more thing.7 More days.Until what? My 19th Birthday!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    The Pre-10K Blog (Guessing Game)

    This is going to be rather short.More like a short update, just thought I should do this for fun.

    I now have 9848 Posts.That's 152 away from the 10,000 Post Milestone.And when I do that I will have a completely new look.This will be done by Tomorrow or Friday.

    New Avatar, Signature, Banner and Blog Header all on the same day of the 10K Blog Party.Care to guess what Game or Game Series it's all going to be based on? They will all be of the same nature and be with one game/game franchise.So for example, If I were to do it on the Ace Attorney series (Which I'm not doing by the way) the avatar, signature, banner and blog header would be based on that game or game series.

    Anyone want to take a wild guess what my new look is going to be based on?

    *I won't be on until much later tomorrow since I'll be busy since tomorrow it's gonna be Holy Thursday*

    Take your bets, I wont be responding to comments in this blog.I'll repeat:

    "What is my new Avatar, Signature, Blog Header and Banner going to be based on?"

    Hints:

    Not Ace Attorney or Mega Man Franchise Related.

    Good Luck!

    Pata Pata Pata Pon.

    Yes, I wanted to get this game so badly, and now I finally managed to get my hands on it.I finally got Patapon!

    I personally like this Boxart better than the U.S One, so I'll be using this for here.

    I'll open the box as soon as the box is finished.In other PSP related news, my friend has decided to let me borrow Monster Hunter Freedom 2!!! I never played a MH game before, so I'll see how it is very soon.If all goes well, I'll dish out the 40 Dollars for it.

    I'm beyond excited right now.Not for what I just said above but because it's highly possible that I might start Dogwalking again.Yeah, ok so it's not a "real" Job, but since I currently don't go to School.(I bet this is shocking if you didn't already know).I'll be entering College in the Fall.So, this is an incredibly easy way for me to get money.Plus, I like animals.

    I've also been playing a lot of Hotel Dusk lately.Im near the end of Chapter 5 (Or at least, I think I am).And with 4 more chapter left to go afterwards, I should be done by Friday.I havent played much of Phantom Hourglass, but I will soon enough.That's when I'll also begin playing Dragon Quest 8.I havent even played it.Not even once.

    As you had read in my previous blog, I recently cut my friends list.I'm kind of upset though.I'm thinking that I shouldnt have announced it.I mean, yes there's 63 comments in that one.But It's kinda upsetting to me that because I made an announcement regarding the friends list being cut, everyone rushes in.What about those previous blogs? Well, hopefully things will be different now.

    Also, the UVFU Podcast was finally recorded and was also released earlier today.For those who are in the union and have listened to it, what did you think so far? Did me and finalfan789 do a good enough job? Criticisms? Feedback is appreciated! One Last thing.I am VERY close to 10K Posts.As I currently have 9715.Just 285 more and I will have reached that 10K Posting Milestone.Then I'll be holding a 10K Blog Party.I might even do one in OT, I dunno yet though.Well, time to play some Patapon.

    EDIT: You may be wondering when the Top 10 friends list will return.It will come back after the 10K Blog.So about a week.

    Just Cut My Friends List

    Well, after thinking about it for a while, I just went ahead and did it.I made an official Friend Cut.I had 107 Friends and it went down to 69.I Dont want to sound like some big Meanie, or Grinch, rather.Although saying I'm The Grinch is rather humorous to me.In any case, the reason I cut it was because these people either really never commented on my blogs or it's just I dont really talk to these people anymore.

    So I now I have 69 friends.Come to think of it, I like having a small number.I dunno now.I'm going to start not tracking people all that much anymore, and if you do track me, I'll accept.Maybe.In Other news, I'm playing Hotel Dusk again.I'm currently in the middle of Chapter 3 and I had forgotten how much fun this game was and how sharp and unique the art style it was.And the dialogue is just witty.

    I even started playing The Legend Of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass again.I'm still stuck in the Temple Of The Ocean King after getting The Spirit Of Wind.Guess I forgot I actually have the Guide for the game after buying it at Toysr'us back in October.I won't be stuck for much longer! And yes, the Quill Stylus is still that nifty.

    I'm still playing Soul Calbur III, and it really is the game for me.I havent used all that many Characters although Siegfried is my main right now.Although I find it annoying how my disc sometimes freezes.Maybe it's my PS2 acting up again.Not much of an update, but I just wanted to get this out of my system.Why do some people often track others?

    This is the same thing with Joining Unions.You get all excited when there's a new recruit, yet they never even introduce themselves at least.It's like they just track or just join your union for the hell of it.It really does piss me off that much.Well, I was inactive for a while.This includes even my own union.Sorry for not posting in your unions and such, but I'll be active again starting today.

    Level 26 And Some Updates

    Yea, I am now Level 26.I dunno what the hell a Cyber Lip is, but it sounds quite odd.Level 25 was really fast.

    On Saturday, my friend pre-ordered Brawl.My friends later came over that day.I was supposed to have recorded the UVFU Podcast that day with finalfan789.Sorry about that dude.I really didnt get the chance that day.I had fun regardless, they were here until 3AM! Good times.Then on Sunday, I finally beat Apollo Justice.I have to say, the game exceeded any and all of my expectations.Especially the fourth case, there was a lot of surprises there.Then I later went to said friend's house to play Brawl.For 7 Hours straight.It was amazing in every sense of the word.I have a new favorite Character.Sonic!

    On Monday, we went to another friend's house.My friend with Brawl was going to bring Brawl Over, but instead we played Rock Band.I didn't want to play at first, but my friends really wanted me to, so I did.I tried playing Bass.I was really terrible, but after getting the hang of it, I was doing Easy and some Normal songs with ease.I'll get this when I get a PS3.

    Now it's today.I just recently picked up Soul Calibur 3, and I have to thank you guys for helping me decide on which game to pick up.I'm about to play a little later, since my friend is going to bring his Wii over to play more Brawl.Speaking of which.. I really want a Wii for my birthday.It's really soon actually.It's on April 1st.I guess I'm going to have throw a birthday party to get me some money! Yeah, there's nothing better than a soon to be 19 year old Teenager throwing something I havent done in a while just to get a Wii.

    I guess I'm not in the mood right now for GS.I've just been commenting on Blogs, really.And I've been really busy.Sorry hack, I havent been able to do your request yet, but I'll try tonight, if you still want it from me.Well, later.

    Need A New Fighting Game / New Avatar & Sig

    Before you even ask, if anything.I guess you could say I've delayed the Top 10 List.Making The List took a lot of time, and even when I was done, it seemed like everything came crashing for the Final 5.So, yeah.Give me some time, it'll come back when I'm ready to talk about it.

    Anyway, I'm in need of a new fighting game.Specifically for the Playstation 2.I've pretty much given up on Mortal Kombat: Deception and Armageddon's floating around somewhere ( Not that I would play it without finishing the previous entry in the series).I was thinking of either picking up Tekken 5 (Yes I know, T5DR is an updated game) or Soul Calibur III.

    Which one do you think I should end up getting? I want to get into the series of either one of these games.Yes, if this shocks you, I've never played a Tekken or SC game before.Just tell me which one I should end up getting.I want something that's easier to learn yet, has a ton of unlockables and a better fighting system.Even if the other doesn't, it you can tell me which I should get and why.I may just end up picking up both.Amazon allow me to get them both for 30$ if need be.

    I also have a brand new avatar.The old one got a bit boring to look at it.I wanted something I've never seen on this site but it involved Zero in someway.I ended up with an incredibly frightening, bizzare version of Zero:

    I think in all honesty, this is quite possibly the most badass avatar I've ever had aside from the Pikachu Godot Avatar I had for a while in January.You can give this guy all the credit for my current avatar.

    I've also made a new sig.And this being the second one I have ever made, I must say I am pretty amazed at what I have just created. Voila! I never paintbucketed.Well, I did once.(Can you see where?) This was made using the eraser, sparks and even smudging! This is probably the greatest work I have ever created in my opinion.What do you guys think?

    Much better when compared to this previous sig, huh? You may have noticed my blog header is now gone.I'm currently making a new one.In other news, It seems I am longer scheduled for Jury Duty.I got the news yesterday.I'm just beyond pissed right now.You make me call again and again, only to dump me at the last minute?! Yea, whatever.

  • 5Mar 08

    New Banner/ Blog Header (No Top 10 today)

    In all honesty, I havent been on here all that much.All I've done is comment on new blogs and post in some unions here and there.In any case, I guess that would define me as being inactive.There is also no Top 10 today.Im still amiss about the top 10 list.I thought making the 10 - 6 was tough.You have no idea, (Or maybe you do) about how hard it is to pick your Top 5 people here.I thought I had it all planned out.I was wrong.Im still thinking about that list, so bear with me here.

    In other news, I now have a new banner (Seen above)If you must know, it's my third banner in a little over a day.kingkilla3 (thanks, dude) helped with the image lines, since I didnt cut it very well.I need to learn how to do that better in GIMP.(Any help on this?).Whenever I use an image for a sig and banner, and use the bucket for a different color, the image has these white lines.It's annoying.If you were asking who the guy on the banner is, you should know its Klavier Gavin, the main prosecutor in Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney, speaking of which, I'm in the middle of Case 3 of the game.Almost done!

    I also made a new blog header about 10 minutes ago:

    Yes, I know the lines are there, and there's this whiter spot there.I could care less, I still like it! Plus, I think those white lines actually make it look like some worn image, which I actually like for this one.

    Remember when I said I was going to have Jury Duty? Yea well, that day was Friday that I had to call the Juror Telephone Standby Office Place (I dont remember the name ).It's getting annoying.They told me to call Monday and I did.Then they said call back Tuesday.Then Wednesday.And now Tommorow.I want to be selected dammit! Being at home all day gets boring! Plus, that money would be sweet.. *drools*.But I do think they want me to show up.If not, they would have told me so.The numbers being called started at 1xxx and now are up 37xx.Since my number is 5xxx, I think I'm getting closer to being called.

    Yea, not that much of an update, but I'm feeling lazy.I'm off to pop in Dragon Quest VIII.Yea, I've had since Saturday, and I haven't even opened it.Now, you know I'm being lazy.

    Top 10 Friends On GS - #6 / 2 New Audio Blogs/ UVFU Podcast Sample

    It's been a while hasn't it? It's time to get back to the 10 Friends List.

    #6

    ***SPOILER***

    I remember first meeting this guy in The Ultimate Videogame Franchises Union.All I could think was wow, this guy sure loves stick figures as an avatar.I felt so silly back then.They weren't just mere, random stick figures, they were hilarious icons that you see throughout Portal.I didnt know what to think about his avatar choices.It's obvious this guy LOVES Portal.The only avatars I have ever seen him use have been all from Portal.He's awesome.He watches a lot of anime, and has told me to watch Air Gear.Laziness ensues.I have yet to look at it.

    I guess most of my time getting to know him stemmed from Steam.He showed me the ropes in Team Fortress 2, and without him I would not know most of the things I know today.I remember putting sentry guns in the most random places.He pretty much chastised me."What are you doing, dude?" he'd say.He tought me how to use each and every clas.ses and all the workings off the Valve maps.Plus, he's a great teamate.Here's he's quite hilarious and always there if you need someone.He's probably the person I talk to the most on Steam.And with Good reason.He's friggin awesome.

    Without him, things would undoubtedly be different.Congrats, dude!

    =========================

    So on Sunday, I recorded 2 New Audio Blogs.They were meant to be uploaded today, but I did it so I wouldnt have to later.Man, was I surprised 5 comments on one and 7 on the other! I guess I'll be uploading my audio blogs days in advance because I want comments on the videos as well.Well, here they are:

    In doing this, and being more busy than usual today, I completely forgot about making a new review.I was looking forward to making one as my reviews had been few in number and I had not done one since July of 2007.Can you believe it? 7 Months? I've never admitted this to many people, but the reason I dont do many is because I'm a perfectionist (This began after my Mario Kart DS Review).So... yeah.I'm trying to put all of that behind me now, and abandon that feeling.It's not healthy.At all.There will definitely be a new one out there tommorow.

    And,If you're in The Ultimate Videogame Franchises Union, then you must know by now, that the newsletter is finished, and a Podcast will soon be taking it's place.Hyper_Hedgehog seems interested in being my co-host but he may not be able to set up immediately.finalfan789 however has agreed to be my co-host for the UVFU Podcast.And so...

    Here's a 40 second sample of me and him talking about absolutely nothing while I try to figure out how to record using Skype.Hilarious.It's slowly coming together, be patient!

    Well, that's all for today! I hope you enjoyed #6 and my 2 new audio blogs and the UVFU Podcast "Progress"!

    *Removes Scouter* IT'S OVER 9000! (General Update)

    I bet you're getting tired by now.Friend #6 still isn't up yet.Patience is a virtue.It shall finally appear on Monday.

    I have achieved 9000 Posts.It's high, not that high.Perhaps you dont get the joke surrounding this popular meme.Perhaps now you will.I still remember back in June, when I just achieved "Over 1000!" posts.Now, just 1K more and I'll soon have 10,000 posts and then I shall throw myself a blog party.This is going to be the first time you will ever see old stats of mine because of this ep.ic event.Har, only 2 months old.Let's see how I've done in the past 2 months.I'll be doing this every 2 months.This will show you if I've been slacking off or not.

    March 2nd, 2008:

    A 2 level increase.About 3 K more posts, and 2 thou.sand more profile views, which finally makes me have 5,000 profile views.Not bad, eh? It could be better.Much better.But having your comp die for nearly a month killed it.

    Anyway, friday at Icarus' house on Friday was great.It was hilarious when he showed me he had like 87% on expert on Through The Fire & Flames, 5 Star expert in GH3, yet he got owned by the first couple of notes.I even harassed him in Super Mario Galaxy by continiously using the pointer to keep making him jump in "co-op".He died a lot of times.I did it for the lulz.I even sold my copy of Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney to his bro for 30$.

    When I left, I was shocked by my discovery.He had the one game I had been looking for.The Grinch for PS1! My prayers had been answered! No, not really.We just laughed it off.It's an inside joke regarding my Steam name.He even offered me to let me borrow it, I denied the request.It's a terrible game, in all honesty.

    My bro gets back from work later that day, and gives me 20$.And The Peasants rejoiced!On saturday, I take my 50$ and I hit the town in search of a new game.I first stop at Gamestop to cancel my pre-order of GOW: Chains Of Olympus.I wont be needing it now, since I'll get the GOW slim in June.I'm about to leave, but that's when Megadeth's In My Darkest Hour plays on the speaker.I stayed for a while longer and picked up Professor Layton & The Curious Village.

    The only reason I bought it was for the fact that it mocked me while I was playing the demo.I kept writing "R", yet it registered as a "B".I'll show who's who now! The Grinch also tempted me again.The Grinch for Nintendo DS was on display.For 10$.I resisted and left.You're a silly one, Mr.Grinch! finalfan789 would say.

    I came back and played in Gamer's EXP Inc's first game night (Was it the first?).The game was Goldeneye: Source.If you have a Source Based game, go get this now! And it was fun.It was me, finalfan, Loopy101, Dazkurupt, and a friend of mine on Steam (who I sold PW to).Loopy pretty much owned everybody.He basically won this gamenight.Congrats! I was later off to bestbuy.

    My mom got an 80 GB Silver Ipod clas.sic, my brother got Call of Duty 4 for PC, and I picked up Dragon Quest VIII for PS2.The funny thing is that they didnt have the Greatest hits copy.They had the first release one.Thanks for selling your copies, Best Buy. I'm going to enjoy my demo of Final Fantasy XII. And now, Im back here.Just using my time to finally get OVER 9000! Posts, so I can blog about it.

    That being said, here's a few things to look forward to.By Monday, #6 will be up, My Second Audio blog will be there, as I'll begin the recording process later today and you'll see my first new review in like 7 months.Well, hope you enjoyed this! I'm off to bed now.It's 5:53 AM.

    For the Last Time, me and finalfan789 sound NOTHING alike!!

    No Top 10 Blog for today, Im going to take a break from that for a while.Maybe until Saturday, even.

    Right now, Im just beyond annoyed right now.Some people apparently think that me and finalfan789 sound exactly alike.Maybe it's because we both live in New York City.Although I doubt it's the case.kingkilla3 told me many times that we both share a similar accent and that is why we sound the same.Abgoj has even said this recently.I beg to differ though.

    Why don't we compare and contrast? The first video is of my first Audio Blog, speaking of which, I'm too busy to make a new one right now, maybe by Saturday or Sunday).Go into 1 minute of that video to hear my voice.And yes, I know there's a problem with the sound there.You'll only hear sound from one ear, that was my mistake.The second video was the first part of finalfan789's Audio Honorable Mention Mention Blog.

    Me- AsakuraHao2004:

    finalfan789:

    ==========================

    In other news, I brought my N64 back up.I'm currently playing Banjo-Kazooie again, as you can see in my now playing list.I'm even going to play some Perfect Dark with my bro later.Good times.And I cant manage to put in multiple images for a banner, need GIMP help!

    I'm also probably not going to be on tommorow, as Im off to icarus212001's house.I cant believe I haven't been there since 2001! I have hung out with him, just haven't been to his house in a long time. Im bound to have some fun! And also, there's a high possibilty that finalfan is getting the Orange Box (PC) Today.Time to own him in Team Fortress 2!

    Do some of you actually me and finalfan sound alike? What do you, the people think?

    Top 10 Friends on GS - #7 / My First Signature Ever

    Ok, here's #7! He likes Pie.And Nachos.Or so I hear...

    ***SPOILER***

    When I first met this dude, all I wanted to know what was up with this guy's avatar.I mean it's a smiley face for crying out loud! But, over time, I realized that no one I knew had such an avatar.This guy really does have such a simple, but incredibly unique avatar.I guess what makes this guy cool is that he's like a Rockstar.

    He listens to Metal (Especially DragonForce), plays GH (Not to mention that he is insanely good at it).This guy's life is Guitar Hero.I remember his early blogs were all about how he was waiting for Guitar Hero 3 to arrive in Sweden.He even plays WoW.That's right, World Of Warcraft.Quite possibly one of the most addictive games ever.And yet this guy still is able to get on here and do his awesome work at the UVFU, which are these great looking Franchise profile emblems.

    Plus, he's probably one of the coolest guys you could ever talk to.He was the second person I have ever added on MSN, and everytime you talk to him, he always maintains that awesome personality live in person.Did I mention he's incredibly hilarious? I also have to give him major props because he really helped me when I made my first Audio Blog.Plus he likes Bears.Without him, I have no idea what would have become of my audio blog.And he likes Bears!

    _Horde wrote:

    Rawr.

    Anyone who likes Bears, is an awesome dude to me.Congratulations, _Horde!

    =======================================

    I haven't been on much today, except comment on a few blogs.I was just really, really into what I'm about to tell you.I was having a lot of fun with Gimp today.This is the reason why I didn't post at all today, and why I didnt make the newsletter for my union.But do they want a newsletter or they do want me to go the Podcast route? I'll see tommorow.And I have to give major props to rouge-ninja14 for that signature tutorial he made.I even made got an avatar I liked and made some major tweaking to the background:

    Yea, it could be better, but I kinda like it.Zero is the man!

    Without it, I'd be lost.And so here it is... my first signature ever.It could be better, but Im just happy I was able to do my own signature, First time for everything! I think I'll do a lot more tommorow.I'll even begin work on my profile banner tommorow!

    Well, later everyone.#6 is up tommorow!

    Top 10 Friends on GS - #8

    Well, #8 is here.Did you guess #8 Correctly?

    ==========================================

    ***SPOILER***

    This is quite possibly the nicest user I have ever met here.And a very cool dude, at that.I'm tired of hearing people saying 2ndWonder is a girl.He is a guy people!He leads this awesome PS2 union, although I admit I often get lazy and I don't post in a lot of places.Have you seen his PS2 Collection! He has 76 Playstation 2 games! That's very fitting for someone who leads a union revolving around the PS2.But it's awesome that he's in some of my favorite unions, including my own (Shameless Plug FTW).He's one of the few people that I know that should definitely be considered for a Moderator one of these days.

    And I must give props to him.Out of all my friends here on Gamespot, he has the most posts!37,000! And each and every single post of his doesn't result from Spam.Every post this guy happens to make is actually pretty well thought out.

    I got really scared one day in February when he posted in the UVFU using another account.When he told me he had some problems with his account, I thought it might be Glitchspot acting again.But it said "Banned".His account got hacked.For a dew days, I was wondering when this problem would be setlled and hoping it would be as quickly as possible.And thankfully, it did.I'm glad this guy's back.Because sometimes GS doesn't feel right without him.It's like every user has this person in their mind that knows GS wouldnt be the same without.That person is 2ndWonder.

    ==========================================

    I haven't been on too much lately.Just PC gaming, I havent been here all that much.I've also downloaded GIMP.I think I want to start making some art for myself.I have to learn first! As for audio Blogs, it'll come soon, don't worry about that.I even intend to use a high pitched voice! (As requested by Hyper_Hedgehog!).And if you happen to be in the Ultimate Videogame Franchises Union, I wasn't lying when I said that newsletter would be the last.I'm very serious.

    It was a great experience making those newsletters and it tought me a lot.What I have in mind to succeed it is a Podcast.We can even do one over Skype, and record.We can even have members of the UVFU call in as special guests!I'm also pretty happy that MGS4 has a firm release date of June.And did you see that new God Of War PSP? Well, I'm going to cancel my pre-order and just get that instead.The package is far too enticing! Well, that's it for today, I'm off to play some Goldeneye Source.

    #7 Starts Tommorow!

    Top 10 Friends On Gamespot - #9

    Like I said before, I would make this on Saturday or Sunday.I would make it yesterday, But I was really busy.It's quite evident that not everyone is gonna make this list.It's HARD deciding who's in here and who's not.I already finalized the top 10 list (Please don't ask).It was REALLY HARD deciding though.Now I see what finalfan789 was talking about when he made his list, but I thought he was exaggerating.Seems I was wrong.If I must I'll have to steal Finalfan's idea of making an honorable mentions audio blog, because I wish I could put all of you here.I really do mean that.

    ==========================================

    #9

    ***SPOILER***

    This guy's great.You may know him as the dude who has WAY too much free time on his hands.Look at him! It's like the only topics he talks about it in his blogs are about his various sigs! Lol, joking.He's great! (Although he talks about sigs way too much) But he's a great designer.Plus, he can speak and read Japanese! And he's been into Japan (many times I'd think) where he managed to snag a copy of FFIV DS! *Shakes Fist*

    Plus, this guy watches and reads a ton of anime/manga.And not all the overrated/general stuff.He really looks into various series'.What makes this guy so great is the fact that he livens the place up a lot.Just look at what he says:

    AsakuraHao2004 wrote: Who will win the Super Bowl...?

    The team with the higher score at the end of the game

    It's really great that he offers to make sigs for people.Some people would almost never do that, but he's always there to lend a helping hand.Plus, he's not afraid to speak his opinion at all.He even jokingly mocked me once of my avatar (from Shaman King, it was a while ago) and said something like this " has a avatar of some manga series that was cancelled".It was all in good fun.I still remember the sigs he made me:

    Those were some really fun times, right man?

    ==========================================

    Ok, #8 starts tommorow!

    Top 10 Friends On Gamespot - #10 / Audio Blog

    As I said in my last blog, I'd be totally stealing finalfan789's and Kingkilla3's Top 10 friends idea.And I also managed to do an audio blog.Which you'll se afterwards.I'll be doing these top 10 friend blogs everyday or every two days, with some updates of my own as well.There are many things I took into account while doing this, but I'll reveal what the process was once this Top 10 series is over.

    =============================================

    #10

    ***SPOILER***

    ZOMG! It's a Female User! You don't see many female users nowadays.She's a pretty great person here on GS.Quite nice, actually.If she's an member in your union, you'd know how productive she is.And she manages to do all this with all these projects she has to do! Now that's dedication.Plus, she's always sticking up for the little guy and willing to help out any new recruits out in a union.Not many people do that nowadays.If it were someone else,you'd just hear criticism.Not with Her, though!

    But don't get her angry...

    I dunno, it's things warm up when she's around posting.Plus, she's most likely the biggest Castlevania fan ever.She will literally defend this franchise until the very end, yet offer good points without sounding biased.She's even an officer in the best Castlevania Union available! Plus, I hear she's a HUGE Foo Fighters fan.Although, I have yet to listen to them.She says I should... And according to her 'about me" section, she's a handheld godess.Plus she has all 3 consoles! Can't argue with both!

    But does everything have to be so cutesy with her...?

    ==============================================

    Also, Like I mentioned previously, here is my first Audio Blog.You get to hear my voice! I briefly discuss the fall of HD DVD,Firefox being downloaded 500 million times, Portal and my now playing... All in in less than 4 minutes.And that intro you're hearing? Perhaps 2 of my friends here remember where it's from.I might just use that "intro" for every video I make.Also take note of The Grinch.Especially The Grinch.

    Well, the video should be located below.But if not, here it is: 1st Audio Blog!


    I did this with just a small layout of things to have in mind.That's why I'm so spontaneous.It's like a spur' of the moment kind of thing.It's much better that way.

    Well, I hope you enjoyed this blog.#9 will be up either tommorow or Sunday!

    The Apollo Justice Mall Adventure / What's in Store

    So about 3 hours and a half ago, on the way to the Mall to pay some bills, I went to my local Gamestop to pick up Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney.I pre-ordered the game back in January, along with Advance Wars.By the way, if you're interested in trying the game out, you should know there's a Free Online Flash Demo of the first case.The graphics don't look as smooth in game, and you can't save your progress, but it's good for those who want to give the series a try.

    Once I get there, I noticed something.There's only ONE copy left.There was someone ahead of me asking for the same game, but luckily for me, the employee gives me the game since I pre-ordered the game.Yes, Democracy Wins!So once I picked it up, I noticed something.I had no money leftover for train fare.No, walking back from there to my house wasn't a big deal.

    It's the fact that I had to rush to the mall to pay the bills before the store closed.Do you know what that meant? 35+ Blocks walking there.Going there once isn't a big deal, but coming back is extremely tiring.I begin walking.I walk down 7 blocks, and I make a right turn and walk down 2 blocks.WTF? For some reason, I'm at the same place I was 7 blocks ago.Maybe I should pay attention where I'm walking next time.So I eventually get to the Mall and pay aforementioned Bills.Then I have to walk back home.35+ More Blocks.How tiring do you think that is? I almost fell on the way back.

    So that was my mini-adventure.Now, I'm home and I have yet to open the game.Another game I've considered buying is Audiosurf, which FinalFan789 just cant stop raving about for some apparent reason.I'm getting another 10$ today, so I may as well give this a try, since I hear the demo doesn't give it enough justice.Did I mention I was number 3 in his top 10 friends list Blog series? Enough of the self Plugs. Oh and if the game sucks, I'm blaming you Final!

    Lately, I've been thinking as to what I should do regarding my blogs.In all honesty, it may get boring giving you these once 3-4 day recaps of what I'm doing.So after loosely talking about this with GreggD I may as well do a "Top 10 Friends Blog Series'.I like stealing Ideas! Dunno how I'm going to do it though, there's lot of great people here I know.I'm also considering doing an audio blog everynow and then.Just to mix things up, since I now have a microphone.And you'll get to hear my voice, if you haven't already.What do you guys think?

    Well, Later.
