Welcome to my profile. I've been playing video games since I was three, pretty much nonstop, even though I rarely find a game that I really enjoy. I usually don't enjoy playing video games unless they have a good story or have co-op, although I have somehow still managed to get achievement crazy on my 360. I think some guys at Bungie said it best while describing playing CTF on Halo 2 and you are killed a second before scoring, you hate it but you also love it and when it's over you want to do it again. The only difference is that now, I want to do it again and again and again to get those damn achievements. I seem to be the same way with the emblems on Gamespot.

PC fanboys are arrogant
Wii fanboys have a creepy personality
PS3 fanboys are the most vocal" Destructoid

"One of the surest signs of true maturity, and one of the first requirements for profound contentedness in life, is reaching the state where you no longer care whether or not what you're doing in private is mature." GabuEx

Upcoming games that I might/will buy. I probably will not get all of them, me adding them here just means that I am interested in the game, but not so much so that I will buy it even if it is getting bad reviews everywhere. Ones with extras or special editions come first if I don't have enough money. Text in ( ) is to remind me where I preordered it or if I still need to

  News Games and seasons of shows that I have bought, a lot of anime

  

  Left 4 Dead 2

  I played through the first two of five campaigns. It's great, like the first with improvements. A lot of new guns and fun to use melee weapons as well as new enemies. The characters are ok so far, I like Coach and Nick, both are good replacements for Bill and Louis, Ellis is funny but not as good as Zoey. The girl sucks, so I guess she is like Francis.I tried co-op once with a friend but it was very laggy for both of us at first them him later. My wireless internet is slow and I think his brothers were playing WoW so that would explain it.

  

  Assassins Creed 2

  I've been playing this a lot and have really been enjoying it. It's definetely an imporvement over the first so far. I like the way money is used, the duel hidden blades, weapon collection, and upgrading your town.

  "Itsa mee Mario!"

  Movies Bought

  

  Naruto Shippuden Movie 1

  Two years after the first series ends and I still hate Naruto (in the shows timeline). Needs more Kakashi and Shikamaru. Wal-Mart has been getting a lot of Naruto stuff in lately and they always have cheaper prices so I have been getting stuff their.

  

  Naruto Movie 2

  Ordered off of Amazon for $5, I have all the movies once I get this one.

  Series

  

  Naruto Season 1 (box set one and two out of the 16)

  With the release of Shippuden the price of Naruto is going down. New box sets used to be $30-$40 each (with 12-15 episodes each), they have gone down in price and are now coming out with seasons that mix two box sets for $20-$30. The next one comes out next week and the first box set of Shippuden in Janurary, I will be getting those when they come out. So far I have the 4 movies, OVA, and box sets 1, 2, 5, 6, 8, 9, and 10. and will have 3 and 4 when I get the next season.

  

  Babylon 5 Season 3

  

  Babylon 5 Season 1

  Babylon 5 and the X Files are my favorite shows, Wal-Mart just got these in for $20 each so I picked up these two. Giving me seasons 1, 3, and 5. Just need 2, 4, and five of the six movies (no interest in one of them). Wal-Mart also just got in season 1/2, 3, 4, and 9 of the X Files. Shame I already own the first four, don't know if I will get 9 yet. I might, it's only $13.

  

  Bleach Season 3

  Love last few episodes of this season. Good but the first two are my favorites so far overall

  

  Bleach Season 4

  Ok but not that good of a season, also one disk shorter than the past three at the same price of $50 (luckily only $35 at Wal-Mart).

  These were all bought within the last month and a half

  I get paid about $570 every two weeks with $20 going to insurance and $50 to 401K and put at least half in savings. You can see where my money goes. Of course it doesn't help this is the half of the year where almost all the anticipated games come out, September-March.

  So I walked into this airport with some friends

  We exited the elevator, each wielding an LMG. We noticed a crowd of people waiting in line and a few security guards. We waited for a few seconds, the rage building inside the longer people went without complimenting us on our stylish bulletproof vests. Seconds turned to minutes, I could no longer keep the rage inside, "Hey, over here stupid!" I yelled to the nearest guard. He turned towards me and, with a smile, informed me that it was no longer the 90s and we couldn't just bring anything we wanted onto the airplane.

  I returned the warm smile and informed him that I disagreed, I went on to say that I would show them all just how much I disagreed. Within seconds my good friends and I each had our own Running Riot, surely nothing would ruin our excellent K/D ratio in this round. The remaining members of the crowd must have been in a real hurry to get to their plane because they all ran screaming away from us. I decided that I would help them with their tickets, I would buy the tickets for them and make sure that they all got on the flight they wanted. Oddly enough, everyone wanted the same type of ticket, one way, straight to hell. It must be a good vacation spot around this time, what with the cold of the winter months. Perhaps I would vacation there one day soon.

  As I walked through the airport giving out as many tickets as I could I couldn't help but have fond memories of one of my favorite movie series. It was probably just the excitement but for some reason I could have sworn that I kept seeing John McClane everywhere I went. Thinking back, I must have looking like a real fool saying, "Are you John McClane?" To people just before I sent them on their merry way. I think I must be going crazy, although, I never did get an answer, just more screaming. I really must go on vacation one of these days, it gets people so excited. Two of my friends decided that they would go, I bid them farewell and continued on my way.

  Everywhere I went people were in need of help, but I had no time for errands today. I came across a man sitting over the body of another man, he looked at me and said, "My lord could you spare any healing potions?"

  I came across a lot of people with similar questions as I walked through that airport, my answer was always the same, "Maybe on my next playthough." He stopped asking for help once I gave him his ticket, in fact, I gave him a couple hundred tickets.

  Another person asking for favors, "I'm hungry, won't you spare some coin?"

  "I have no coin, but I have some pizza on me, every pizza comes with pepperoni and bullets!" I didn't ask her if she enjoyed it or not, I believe I saw the answer in the horrible expression on her face as I left. Bullets always were like sardines, they take some getting used to.

  Police began to storm the bulding, eager to stop us from handing out anymore tickets. "Why must the man always keep people from enjoying themselves?!" The police went away after we gave them tickets of their own, but they were mean policemen, surely they didn't deserve to go to such a hot spot as hell. No, we sent them to Jersey instead.

  My remaining friends and I prepared to get into a van, we would be leaving to our next desination, or so I thought. My best friend stopped me from getting into the vehicle, "Buddy, I think you earned a vacation to." He raised his gun

  "Oh goody, I could use some time off."

  "You're going to Jersey."

  "oh, ****!"

  

  Call of Duty 4 Hardened Edition

  Call of Duty as a free download on Xbox Live

  
  
  Dragon Age Origins Special Edition

  I played almost nothing but Dragon Age for the last week, I am always a good person in RPGs. I help everyone I can and turn down the rewards for doing so. For the most part, I just seem to be unable to play the evil route in an RPG. Even so, being such a paragon of virtue does get boring every now and then. Which is why mowing down defensless civilians in Call of Duty MW2 was such as welcome change of pace. Is it disturing, sick, wrong? (.....NO!) Do I give a **** if it is or not? HELL NO!

  As I shot everyone in the airport I just imagined all the people asking me to preform some stupid task. "Give me money to better my poor life. Go get food for my family. Find ingredients and make a potion to cure grandma. Get my cat out of the tree." NO MORE!

  What do I think about both games?

  I don't even know if I would call Modern Warfare 2's Single Player good, especially not when it is compared to the previous games. The multiplayer more than makes up for it though, it's like the first Modern Warfare but with a lot of additions, Spec Ops mode also looks like it will be a lot of fun. So far I finished the game on hardened, got all the 45 intel pieces, got to level 30 in Multiplater, and got at least two stars in all the first SO missions. I need to play through it on veteran now, and the Multiplayer I will likely be playing for a long time.

  Dragon Age is a great game. Great characters, party dialoge, an interesting world, good amount of choices. The combat is good but it is also my only real problem with the game. Unless I am missing some cammands for the scripts this game has horrible AI when you are in battle, I have to constantly watch over my party, and though that isn't much of a problem (I always paused and issued ordersa in Baldurs Gate), with the new view it just isn't as easy as the old Baldurs Gate or Icewind Dale games, even in the PCs top down view.

  I would easily recommend both games. Dragons Age is my favorite Single Player game of the year so far, and Call of Duty my favorite Multiplayer. Of course, it won't be long before Left 4 Dead 2 and Assassins Creed 2 are out.

  Bond, James Bond and other stuff

  I've been buying a lot of 007 movies, either at pawn shops or at Wal-Mart, the most each cost me is $5.

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  So that makes a total of 10 movies

  DR. No
  Goldfinger
  Thunderball
  The Spy Who Loved Me
  Damn Gamespot Text Censoring
  The Living Daylights
  Licence to Kill
  Goldeneye
  The World is Not Enough
  Die Another Day

  Most of them I had never seen the entire movie or in the last two's case I have never seen at all. I loved all three of the Sean Connery ones, of course, Dr No, Goldfinger, and Thunderball. Not sure what would be my favorite, four more left to get with him. I liked both of the Roger Moore movies, with The Spy Who Loved Me being my favorite one that he was in out of the seven, even my favorite opening song if I remember right. Pierce Bronsan is probably my least favorite Bond (I never did see the George Lazenby movie, which I've heard is great....except for him). I kind of like Goldeneye and The World is Not Enough, I forgot if I liked Tomorrow Never Dies, and I hated Die Another Day. With the exception of Vew to Kill I would say Die Another Day is my least favorite movie, theme song by Madonna, I don't like Halle Berry, too much focus on Halle Berry (like Natalya in Goldeneye, also hated her), and is makes horrible use of CGI. I don't know about Connery, but are all the Bonds last movies always their worst?

  I already own Casino Royal, which means that I own half of the movies. I just need

  From Russia With Love
  You Only Live Twice
  On Her Majestys Secret Service
  Diamonds Are Forever
  Live and Let Die
  The Man With the Golden Gun
  Moonraker
  For Your Eyes Only
  A View to Kill
  Tomorrow Never Dies
  Quantum of Solace

  I know you think he is a man ***** but I still love 007 movies Jessica.

  Other Movies

  Wal-Mart is selling every season of Futurama and the movies for around $12 each so I ended up picking up Season 3 and 4. I love Bender, why did he have to go play a lousy character like Marcus Fenix after being Bender? Why couldn't Bender have just been in Gears of War, that would have been awesome.

  

  

  Reviews

  I found this when the review came up, and NeonNinja later sent me a PM

  "Do you like cars? If so, Forza Motorsport 3 is the game for you. In fact, provided you don't hate cars, Forza Motorsport 3 is the game for you."

  In my last blog I said I hated cars, and I do, a few days later I see that opening for Gamespot's Forza 3 review. Even with my hatred of cars (and usually driving and sports games) I did enjoy the first Forza.

  My Review

  Douglas is working on his site and it sounds like he is busy so I still don't have my review that a mentioned over a month ago up yet, it should be coming though

  Game Bought

  

  Borderlands

  Been playing this. I wanted to play as a Hunter but Jessica was already one so I switched to a Siren, so right now I have a level 9 Hunter and a level 21 Siren. My other friend I have played with is a Soldier c1ass I really like the game so far. A lot of guns. The only thing I don't like so far is all the creatures you fight, there needs to be some more people, or more creature variety.

  I was going to buy a copy for Jessica for her Birthday and one for me so we could play together but her Brother bought it when it came out. I'll have to think of something else to get her now.

  Lord of the Rings Online

  Level 40 Hunter, yay
