  Found my login!!!

  Its been awhile but I've finally decided to make a reappearence here on gamespot. Truthfully I've been very busy with my personal life of late to have any free time to log back onto this site and type up anything sadly. Truthfully nothing really major has happened since I logged on last besides getting back together with my ex gf and mending some broken fences with her family which has been rather tough. When they say time will heal all wounds I guess a little bit of wisdom lies hidden in that little nugget after all. I wont go into great detail about it but pretty much to sum everything up I ran into my ex inwhich I haven't seen or talked too in three years and pretty much got lucky and got her number and well pretty much got super lucky and got her interested in me again. We are still very split about things and have a hard time getting comfy with each other but things are getting better with more time we spend together which is pretty cool I'm actually rather happy which is very different then I'm use to being.

  Anyways I'll try to get back on sometime this week to type up some stuff and thoughts on some video gaming I've been up too. Later days yall...

  Three Weeks into the ps3 slim universe...

  Hello ladies and gents boy has the last three weeks flown by. Anyways to get you all updated on my thoughts soo far with the ps3 I'll begin with the console in itself.

  What to say what to say; to truely start off I was thinking about comparing my previous experence with the numorious years of owning a xbox360 to my newly bought ps3 slim... But if I did that omg it would take me forever to truely give justice to any justification I come up with to truely say which console in my own personal view is better then the other. So I wont even try comparing the two but I will give a few brief words on the P VS X console battle through. Being a techno freak I was purely impressed with the slim, there isn't anything about it that a gamer wouldn't be impressed with by either picking up the light weight wireless/corded controller that came with the unit itself or even tracing the hardlines of the ps3 even gives the mind a slight hazy feeling. Being the first time I got the chance to truely handle a ps3 controller without any store restrictions I couldn't believe how easy my hands fit the little lady. Truely I thought to myself that this is what a consoles game pad should feel like. To compare the xbox's pad to the ps3 would be like comparing a cadiallic to a bmw; both cars have their own personality but damn it you can tell which one has more bang for its buck. Not to mention the consoles individually pretty much speaks for themselves. The slim, pretty much oozes high tech stealth fighter looks. Compared to the usual microsoft's trademark tower of power fashion microsoft's pc's have been sporting for ages now...

  If by judging from a glance at both systems you have to decide which one is better I would sadly say the ps3 would be and I would be mistaken as well. I'm not a xbox fan by any means but I'm a gamer by nature and damnit once more the console with all the games at the moment is the xbox. Not too mention the stupid lengthy updates the ps3 tends to get alot as well. I wish it isn't true but it is... Xbox's hardware is pretty crappy but that thing sure has alot of games in its librarey and darn it I truely miss my quality rpg games. I know yes both consoles almost get the same games but there are some exclusives that the xbox got that the ps3 didn't that I absolutely loved. Mass effect for one was a huge reason why I got a xbox in the first place and yes I wasn't disappointed what so ever by the title. Sadly I will miss out on the second game in the serious which is a total bummer. Also I really liked section 8 that just recently came out for the xbox as well.

  Truely in my view I think the xbox has the edge soo far in the war, to me that system has the games I want which ps3 doesn't. But I'm happy that borderlands and alpha protocal is being a multiplatform release whichmakes the sting not hurt quite as bit. Anyways my minds tired I gotta get some sleep I'll type some more later about the games I picked up for the ps3....

  The wait...

  So now it begins, the wait till the ps3 slim arrives at my local gamestop store is beginning to become a very tough ardious one. I've tried everything I could to get my mind off of the wait truely, I've tried to continue my everyday life like I usually do but still that uneasy feeling of tension is still present within me. So likeanyother day I found myself getting off working the night shift at walmart and going home at 6:30am and trying to sleep off my tired zombie persona I usually get workingmy mind numbing job. Sadly I only slept a few hours and waking up at 9:30 only made my craving for my ps3 seem that much worse. So I ended up getting dressed and driving up to gamestop to pick out a few games for my ps3 which could of been a mistake really because I ended up buying three games and spending maybe a hour in the store trying to decide what I wanted. Seriously as a picky gamer I knew I had to pick something that would draw my interest for awhile because if not I knew I would be in a foul mood over my choosen games for weeks if I picked wrong. I ended up leaving the store with uncharted, resistence1, Valkirye Chronicles. An adventure game, fps, rpg tactical was what I ended up with which isn't a bad thing but even now when I ponder about the selection I'm not too happy over what I ended up with.

  Truely I wanted a epic rpg which I really couldn't find since I guess ps3 doesn't have any really at the moment which is a damn shame if you ask me. Also the fps portion I choosen I'm pretty certain will satify me because of the reviews I have read about the game but I really don't know yet until I sit down and play it. I like a challenge with my fps games and I hate being disappointed really. Anything thats half life fps style I tend to shine away from and that can be also said about halo style fps as well. Resistence I can see some elements that remind me of halo weaponary in it but hopefully I'm wrong completely and the gameplay will just keep me on my toes for the entire thing but again I'm not too sure if it will. Also the wild card in the three has to be uncharted, I heard the gun play can be rather challenging in it and the ai tends to flank you if you stay in a certain place for too long which makes me crave busting out the game and testing out the mechanics of it. The storyline I'm not too concerned about because its a adventure game really soo even if I expect what might happen in the game I won't mind it too much really as long as the cut scenes aren't too long and the voice acting is rather decent. The only thing that might be a turn off is the whole prince of persia travel in the game; sure its cool to see some acrobatics once in awhile but doing it over and over again just gets bloody annoying and if I gotta do it ninety percent of the game I'll be rather pissed five hours into it if I don't get a good balance between gunplay and traveling around. My runner ups were killzone 2, resistence 2, and gran turismo 5 but that sorta game never really kept me interested very long through soo yeah I decided that wouldn't be a good idea at all. Killzone 2 is suppose to be awesome but since I didn't play the first one I decided to wait on it cus heck it probably would just annoy me that I don't know what really was happening in the game. That can be also said about resistance 2 as well soo for the most part I guess I'm sorta happy with my game selection for the most part.

  Now I just have the wait ahead of me which is terrible really, I know its just that whole first date butterfly feeling I have. I mean buying a console or a computer for anyone makes them nervious, you tend to ask yourself a huge number of questions before you actually get the item in your hands. Such as,"am I gonna like it? Or is it truely what I expect and want?" sorta thing you know? But I'm positive once I finally get to place my hands on the item it will be like holding your first baby in your arms and you will have that satified feeling settle inside of you. Then again it could be the opposite and you feel like you just been drugged and date raped... Hopefully it would be the former and not the latter in my case. Oh well I've flapped my gums long enough later days peeps.
