I stopped updating this forum ages ago, and now that I've entered uni my position as an actual gamer has declined heavily. I am, however, still into the news as if my gaming hasn't slowed down in the slightest.

  *Sniff* Ahhh... The sweet smell of the easy to use Wide Gamespot!

  Hey everyone one (or at least the people that read this),

  Man it's been a while since I visited gamespot! I came back once and it was all wide and awesome. I really prefer gamespot to IGN when it comes to ease of use. IGN is damn hard and everything is too messy. I still prefer their reviews though esp. after the Gertsmann incident. Pretty stupid what happened there, if you ask me.

  Anyway, a lot has happened since I left here. I got lots of Wii games, found a new love for my PSP. let my DS gather dust, wanted a PS3. That's my gaming life. My life... Man... It's all over the place. I'm going to grade 12 this Aug. 31st and it's gonna be WEIRD! This is my last year of school and then I'm finally moving to Canada to get my University degree from there. It's gonna be awkward leaving all my friends behind, old and new! I decided on taking a major in business particularly marketing. I always found that interesting, being able to figure out what the public wants, being able to advertise and control people's opinions through good marketing and advertising. Really good stuff.

  Grade 11 wasn't all that great a time for me. It consisted of lazy studying efforts along with some terribly depressing events, both social and academic. I hated Chemistry with all my heart and I am thus dropping it as a whole next year so YAY to that !
  I hated it so much that on my Term 1 final, I ended up writing a letter on the exam paper, rather the exam, insulting the school's administrative and educational methods. It seemed like a good idea at the time, but now that I look back - The hell was I thinking ?!

  Bah, enough about school. It's 2:46 AM here and I'm not even sleepy. For pete's sake I just had a shower 40 minutes ago ! The last thing I need is for me to be thinking of that accur-school.

  Well, me and my buddy got a youtube channel up and running. PiNG Studios is what we called it . We've got 3 videos up there, 2 of which are part of a series called Project SC. The other was a video that I knew nothing about till later, when my friend decided he was one actor short. Either way, I'd appreciate it if you'd go there and check out our videos, mainly the Project SC ones. Now I know that these types of things aren't for everyone but still, I'd like you people who've tracked me in the past and some which I served to see what we do here in our spare time.

  If you care to know who I am, I'm the one with a really big chin, and it's jutting out all the way in front of me. Yeah, my lower teeth don't close up ON my upper ones, they close in front of them, making me look a bit like a grunting Orc if I wanted too.
  I have an accented English for obvious reasons (I'm Lebanese, remember) and my S's sound weird, but I think that's because of my jaw.
  Rate and comment if you want and you can be as bloody harsh as you want. I can take it. Don't worry !

  Anyway, I don't have, or rather, I'm not in the mood of saying much more, so I'm just gonna leave you all with my good ol' fashioned:

  To my next blog post, which may take a while,
  MoodyFlame

  I'm moving to IGN...for real this time...

  Well, I know I made plans to go IGN before, but this time they're serious, I have already begun building my game collection and my wishlist there...

  Reasons for my shift, well, most of the old users on GS that I was really close with either left or just like me didn't have time for this anymore for whatever reason, so I guess I'll go to IGN and build a new community there. Also Gertsman and Navarro leaving is a great loss and almost makes GS dead and what with the great staff and reviews on IGN, I think it'll be better off that I go there. Also, I really like the IGN pocast shows and stuff there, but what the hey...

  Things I'll miss on Gamespot though:

  Much faster website, better live coverage, better looking site and free forum...oh well. If anyone reading this also happens to have an IGN account I'd be glad to begin my life there with whoever you may be so:
  

  My name there is SagittarianArcher...

  Cya...later...I'll try posting again, but if I don't this'll be the last time I sign off with this:

  Bye,
  MoodyFlame

  Long time no blog!

  Well, it's been a long time since I have last blogged and now, finally, I have decided to blog for a small while as I have a 3 week leave for some religious muslim festival (im in a muslim country) and Christmas.

  Let's begin with what this website is all about: Games. My Wii game collection has expanded very very rapidly, and I now have 7 games, all of which I planning to finish.
  Recently I bought Guitar Hero 3, kicks ass! Metroid Prime 3...well, it's real good I'm just not always too keen on playing it... and Yesterday, I got Trauma Center for Wii (note, if you liked the DS verion or you want to try some excellent 2 player puzzle solving action, go out and buy this now) and Super Mario Galaxy
  
  This is the highlight of the games list and Wii owners, if for some very VERY peculliar reason you don't have this yet, go, gonow and buy it, evem if it means running a 1000 miles to get to the nearest gamestore! It is by far THE single most original platformer I have ever played! The planets, the flying the suits the gravity, EVERYTHING about the thing rocks! I wont talk too much about it because I reckon that the reviews and previews have already gotten too you, but I will persist for a while longer. The graphics: Brilliant, the lgihting is the best I have seen on the Wii by far and even better than some PS3 and 360 games. Music: totally badass! There are remixes that will make you reminise about the olden mario days and many more epic tunes. Controls: Flawless...simple, quick and efficient. And the 2 player Co-Op mode is surprisingly good, and fun, even for the second player.
  Thats as much as I'll praise this game for now.

  In other news...Season 7 of scrubs has started and I am dying with Joy...I got a new phone: Sony Ericssons w910i which is an exellent sleek sexy mop3 phone WITH motion sensing and lumines, drool!

  And the biggest piece of news yet:
  I GOT A DOG!!! My parents bought her foe me for Christmas but we're travelling then so I ogt to enjoy it now! It's a Cocker Spaniel (Short Hair). She's only 2 months old and I called Kiara based off Simbas daughter in lion king 2 eventhough she looks nothing like her, except for her color...This is her:
  

  Well, not I;m off to go have some breakfast and my mother is forcing me to shopping, whoopdedoo:roll, because we're going to lebanon for Christmas so we're gonna have to buy some helmets, soldier camo and 21mm rou-I mean Winter Jackets, boots and whatnot...(the war reference is a little politcal joke directed at people who watch the news and are laughing at how pathetic my country is...)

  Later, Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year (in advance in case I don't blog again for a while),
