  Paramecium+Spam Filter

  Hello everyone. I hope you all have been well since the last blog. This blog is more of a statistical update than anything. If you haven't been in the OCC recently then you probably do not know that my last blog made it onto the Spam Filter. Saying I was excited was a bit of a understatement. I'd like to thank Jody, once again, for giving me that spotlight. It made my day all the better.
  
  Next off, I made it to a level 34 here on Gamespot. This is by far my favorite level name. Paramecium.
  
  Paramecium-any ciliated freshwater protozoan of the genus Paramecium, having an oval body and a long, deep oral groove.
  
  How can you not love the name? I saw Fastest get it a while back and I was envious. Now I just get to be envious of his pills. Don't know what I'm talking about? Take a look at his profile. That is dedication. Nice work F. That is long past due.
  
  Lastly, I've been posting at the OCC recently. If you are ever looking for a great place to post then head over there. You will not find a better community on a board than the one there. The Admin of the board, Double_Decker, is by far one of the nicest people here on Gamespot. He'll welcome you into the community with open arms. Join us for a while?
  
  Thank you all for reading. I hope to see you on the board.

  I'm Thankful

  Happy Thanksgiving everyone. I hope you are all having a great day with your family and enjoying all the delicious food.
  
  Today is a wonderful time to sit back and take just a few moments to say thank you for all the good things that have happened in the past year. To say it is hard to say thank you during any other day might not be true...but it is something that happens. We forget, and we move forwards without looking at the matter again. Great things come our way and yet, not all of us say thank you. Let us all take just a short moment to think about something great that has happened this year and let us give thanks for that.
  
  This past year I have suffered heartbreak due to the passing of my father. But in his passing I have gained more than one might imagine. More strength mentally, a better grasp on my life, more love than thought possible for the remaining members of my family, and a better knowing of my father. Such a horrible thing has brought so much good to me. Even though I know my dad is not on this earth anymore, I still find him helping me each day that passes. For this, I am thankful. I'm grateful that as time goes on all of the lessons he taught me are still in my head and are helping me on a daily basis. Up until the cancer consumed his body and mind he was trying to teach me. He did so in such a way because he knew he didn't have long. I love him for that and I will take his lessons on with me in my life knowing that he shall always be there for me. Thank you, dad.
  
  Before I end I would also like to give thanks to the Gamespot staff. Those of you that are on the scene and especially those of you behind the scene, thank you for providing a great website to come back to after all of these years. I look forward to what the future holds. So to you all working hard for us at Gamespot, thank you.
  
  I hope you all have a wonderful time with your family this Thanksgiving. Thank you for reading.

  Updated Game List

  I updated my collected game list with games that I actually own. A lot of the ones I had on there before I did own, but some were there just for a specific emblem.
  
  I decided to start fresh with just my Xbox 360 games. Later I will add my DS and PSP games. I don't really want to venture into the last generation of platforms because the list will look like it did before. I'd rather have a nice and clean looking list of games rather than a cluster of games that takes forever to search through and 3/4 of them are horrible. In my mind, the change was needed.
  
  I will also be updating my ratings list soon as well. I gave nearly every game I wanted a 1.0 just for the Way Harsh emblem. It looked pretty. I had to have it. Now though, I really don't mind. So with some time I will begin to take those away and start fresh with what I really think about games. Most of those I reviewed deserve much better. Don't ask me how Lost Odysssey got there with a 9.5. Mind you, it will be edited and taken down a few notches.
  
  Thank you for reading and I hope to see you all on the boards.
