  Gears of War 3 Limited or Epic Edition?

  Help me decide...
  I have already pre-ordered the Epic edition at the local Gamespot for $25 but at Wal-mart, if you pre-order, you get an additional character skin for in-game play. I'm not sure if I still want the Epic edition at the moment because of the price and I don't really have a place for that statue but I'm a big Gears fan...what to do, what to do? What do you all think?
  

  
  Limited Edition: ($70)

  • An Octus Award Box with Octus Service Medal – A 1:1 match in size and weight, this zinc-alloy cog-shaped medal replicates the award given to Adam Fenix in recognition of his work on the Hammer of Dawn.

  • Exclusive Unlockable Adam Fenix Multiplayer Character – Each Octus Service Medal replica is engraved with a unique Xbox LIVE code that is the only way to unlock Adam Fenix in multiplayer.

  Almost The End Of The Beggining

  Well it's almost the end of the semester finally. What seemed to be a hard and dreadful few months, went by really fast. Now, I will be able to get on here more often and get caught up with everyone. How's everyone doing?
  
  Besides the semester ending, I'm getting busier and busier at work because of the holidays but thankfully they aren't working me as much during the week. When I haven't been working I've recently been busy watching Netflix on my 360 or trying to finish up some old games that I never got around too. It has been fun but I've missed this place and the community so I'm back now.
  
  This time of year is my favorite, Chirstmas Holidays are coming soon along with my birthday (lots of presents ) I will be 21 in about 28 days. I can't wait! A friend and I have the same birthday, give or take a couple weeks , so we plan to have one big bash on New Years (hopefully). That will be tons of fun. But besides that, I love the weather I'm having now. Where I live it's usually always really hot and humid but now that it's winter; it's starting to cool down and even get cold I love the cold weather.
  
  So I'm going to end it here before I start rambling, thanks for reading.

  Everything That Has Happend

  Well lets see, where should I start...
  
  Way back when LIMBO released, I bought that game and I was impressed. Although the game was short, it was a really good. I had a lot of fun running through all the puzzles and I never got bored of it The game has some replay value for me so I'm just going to actually find the time to sit down and play it again
  
  If I'm not mistaken a few days after that, I went and saw the movie Inception in theaters with a few friends. That movie was nothing more than amazing. I love movies that make you think and this was definitely one of them. I had some people tell me that they didn't understand everything the first time they watched it but that wasn't the case for me. I just had one question at the end of the movie and that was because they left it up to the viewer for interpretation. I'm not going to say any more because then there will be spoilers.

  ***SPOILER***

  Well I can't help myself, if anyone has seen that movie...do you think he is still dreaming or did he actually achieve what he was trying to do at the end of the movie? I personally think he was still dreaming because he did not get kicked out of the dream levels one by one and instead just appeared on the plane with the others. That is the biggest piece of evidence for me that he was still dreaming but I can go on and on about what facts that point to the conclusion that he was still stuck dreaming. The only evidence that I could find after watching the movie only once was that at the end of the movie, the top he spun started to wobble and was about to topple and that's when it ended. Every other time he spun that top in a dream, the top spun flawlessly and it did not waver but it did at the end. There is so much more evidence that points towards him still dreaming than him actually waking up. That was the only part that I got hung up on because it gave no clear ending which was good, I guess.

  
  I bought Castlevania: Harmony of Despair a couple weeks ago and I just got so addicted to that game. This game reminded me of a MMO even though it is clearly not. It's a relatively short game but you have to search and farm for the best weapons and armors like an MMO. I've spent countless hours searching and now I have pretty much gotten most of the rare items in the game I completely stopped playing three games (Dragon Ball Z: Burst Limit, Carcassonne, and Yaris) when I got this game. I was trying to get the rest of the achievements in those three games before Halo: Reach released but I had to devote a lot of time to this game. I am still playing it, just not as much but I think they have announced downloadable content so it will be awhile before I'm tired of this game. This was my first Castlevania and plate-former game I was really impressed, therefore, I'm getting the urge to go and play the the previous Castlevania games but I'm going to have to resist that for the time being.
  
  School is going to start for me soon, on the 25th I believe. So it's just a few more days I changed my major from the last time I was in college to Computer Networking instead of Computer Programming. I like them both, well anything to do with electronics really, so who knows...I might end up double majoring or something later on. One of my friends and I are majoring in the same subject (Computer Networking) so we will have a few ****s together witch is really nice. I also have no school on Thursdays witch is nice as well and I still haven't gotten any of my books or school supplies yet either
  
  Since I have to go back to school soon, I had to change my availability at work. So any time I'm not at school, sleeping, doing homework, on my computer, or playing around with video games I'm probably going to be at work Although, I don't have work on Thursdays because I'm such an evil genius When I changed my availability at work I put down that I had to be at school all day (like Monday, I have to be at school most of the day) and so now I have at least Thursdays off to relax, most likely going to be spent catching up on stuff or hanging out with friends. Oh yeah, I've been working at my job for a year the week before last, it's depressing All they did was give me an anniversary card
  
  Halo: Reach releases in less than a month I can't wait to pick this game up on lease date. This game is probably going to take over my life for a few weeks like Castlevania: Harmony of Despair did and most likely for a longer period of time. If you have kept up with the news, Forge World will be a lot of fun. It will be so much fun playing custom maps that people have made. Campaign will also be amazingly fun, especially with Co-op and playing with friends.
  
  Borderlands is also coming out with new downloadable content Claptrap's New Robot Revolution and I'm going to have to get that as well. I'm not too familiar with what the downloadable content is going to be about yet but it should be fun and interesting at the very least.
  
  Just the other day I went and saw Scott Pilgrim vs. The World and that movie was just Epic. I have never read the comics so I didn't know what to expect but I was really impressed. I was laughing through most of the movie and even though it was a two hour movie (I think) I never lost interest I will definitely buy that movie when it comes out and if possible go see it again in theaters
  
  Avatar is coming back to theaters I never saw that movie in theaters so I'm glad it's coming back. The movie is supposed to have extra scenes or something which will be interesting. But anyways, I'm going to go see it in 3D I have never seen a 3D movie before and what better than Avatar
  
  I know I am behind in most of your blogs but hopefully I will be able to catch up on them in the near future. I'm also not as active in my unions as I would like to be I hope to get more active in those as well. I'm behind in my anime too, I skipped the two recent fillers of Naruto and then just started watching it again when the series got back on track which was two weeks later but other than Naruto, I'm behind in all my anime.
  
  Enough of my rambling! This is the longest blog that I have written and it took me three hours to do so but I hope you all liked my blog, thanks for reading
