25Sep 08Hello there you guys, it certainly has been quite awhile since I have last typed to you. It's not that I have been busy, I just haven't felt like blogging. So since we've last talked I aquired Rock Band 2. The game is really awesome, a ton of great songs. I haven't unlocked them all yet, but I really want to play Down With the Sickness by Disturbed and Almost Easy by Avenged Sevenfold. The game hasn't really changed anything but thats fine with me. Also, on the back of the box you see that it says 20 free download tracks. When are we going to get those songs!
Another game I have been playing is FEAR Files. I bought this game last christmas and never really touched it. All of a sudden I got an urge to play a horror game. So I beat the first expansion pack which I don't remember the title. Awesome ending to that expansion! I can't wait for FEAR 2 early next year! I also started the 2nd expansion called Perseus Mandate. The scariest thing happend when I was playing this. I was climbing down this ladder and I see a guy walk into a sort of hallway. So I go and investigate this hallway and it's a dead end, there is some ammo there so I grab that and right when I turn around, that guy that I saw walk into the corner is right behind me. That scared the **** out of me!
Other games I have been playing is Burnout Paradise, the bikes pack is alot of fun. I hope with the next update they put some more bike challenges in it. I have been playing the online alot since I want to get the freeburn stuff done. I think I have completed 134/490 challenges, so I have awhile to go. Another game I have been playing is Mercs 2, I still really enjoy this game even though there are alot of glitches in it, it is still alot of fun to play.
The last thing I have to say is I got The Suffering for PC, I would like to thank The Wesker for the heads up on the free download of the game. The game itself is pretty fun and I think I will go through it to completion.
The next game I will be getting is Condemned 2 for the 360. I'm getting this because I have been in a horror game mood so this should be great for the $30 it is now. After that its NHL 09, so DBoy keep an open slot on that team for me!
That about wraps it up for this blog. I might make a video blog for this weekend, so stay tuned for that!

5Sep 08Even though this is the first weekend of school it is looking very good for me. First off, today is the home opener for our high school football team and I am going with a girl that is in 2 of my classes. Thats great! I think we may be going somewhere with this. Yes it does kinda suck that school has started again but my classes are pretty fun. Heres the run down of them.
1st Hour- Gym- I have the girl I mentioned above in this **** Gym is always fun. Ultimate frisbee!
2nd Hour- Graphic Communications- Probably the coolest teacher I ever had. She told the ****how to get past the internet blockers in school so we can go onto facebook, giant bomb and other sites when we have free time. But the ****will be cool with all the graphic design stuff we will be doing.
3rd Hour- French 1- This ****I also have the girl mentioned above in. I am actually learning alot of stuff and we each get our own french names. We got to pick from a list of names. I am now called Denis! Denis with one n. To all people who know french. Comment ca va? Sava tres bien!!
4th Hour- Pre-AP English- Pretty cool **** with an awesome teacher. Todays question. If you could pick any one book to memorize what would it be? I said "How to do a rubix cube." Those things are **** hard!
Ok so thats my school scheduale, this year is looking pretty good for me. I also got Mercs 2 and it's tight!
Im off to the game!- Posted Sep 5, 2008 2:02 pm PT

...and no, I won't be putting the lyrics to the song on here.
First off, I would like to thank you guys who left comments on my last blog and I am feeling quite a bit better now.
So today was a very good day for me, entertainment wise that is. First off very early this morning at 1:37 A.M, I beat Resistance for PS3 and the game was fantastic! I loved the story and when there are a ton of enemies on screen at once it can get really hectic. I can't wait for Resistance 2 to come out! So after I beat Resistance I was deciding on a game to play next and I almost put in Burnout but that game was just pissing me off because I was sucking so no. So I look at Dead Rising, I knew I was at they very end of the game already but the point I was at I had to wait a very long time for the next mission to start. So I calculated the time it took for the game in real time and I had an hour (real time) to wait, so I grabbed my mom's laptop and watched On the Spot and it just fit perfectly.
So when I was playing and I got to what I thought was the ending ( the credits rolled and everything) I would have been very dissappointed if that were the ending of the game. So I thought " Wow that was a **** slap in the face", it turns out there was another mode that had the rest of the game. So I did do the mode called "Overtime" and thankfully that picked up right where the other one left off. My objective was to get a bunch of queen zombie bee things, I needed 10, sure that sounds hard but I found a way to get it easily. Right when you leave the hideout go to the back of the room and kill the zombie and get the queen and then go back to the hideout and the queen would respawn. Good method, got it in no time. So yeah I beat Dead Rising and it was **** awesome!!
So by the time I beat that it was 4:30 and I went to bed. Then when I got up at 1 P.M I was reading the paper and saw an ad for Tropic Thunder, so I asked my dad if we could go. He said yes, and off we were to the theater. Tropic Thunder is the funniest movie I have seen in awhile. I never really laughed out loud in a theater like I did for TT.
After we saw the movie my dad wanted to go get some stuff at Target, we went there and I got Mercenaries 2. The game is a ton of fun, I love just blowin **** up. If any of you guys want to do co-op just send me an invite. Oh yeah, I also beat Castle Crashers a few days ago and that was pretty cool.
So today was indeed a good day for gaming. My next game purchase will be NHL 09.
School starts tomorrow! That kinda sucks.- Posted Aug 31, 2008 11:39 pm PT

23Aug 08As I ride my bike to the nearest Gamestop, I usually think of a game to get of course. Most of the time it is me and a few of my buddies that take a nice big bike ride to our local game store when are parents are being to lazy to drive us there themselves. So as my most recent "M Rated Exploit" I wanted to purchase Grand Theft Auto 4 and my parents wouldn't take me to the store to get it, so I called my friends and we decided to ride our bikes there to get it. I was so excited to get GTA 4 I wasn't even thinking that it was a M rated game and I needed a person that was 18 years of age or older.
So when we finally got there, I went straight to the Xbox 360 section and grabbed GTA IV and when I was looking at the box I saw the M rating I thought, "Oh **** so I was thinking of a way to get the game and we all know Gamestop employees are freaks about M rated games. Here's an example, I was with my dad at Gamestop and I wanted to get GTA San Andreas and when we brought it up to the desk and the worker was like to my dad, "Sir?, do you know this is one of the most violent games out now?", luckily my dad doesn't give a damn about M games, so he was cool about it and I still got the game.
Anyways, back to the story, as I look at the case and that dreaded M rating a man that was probably a collage student at home for the summer, came in and started looking at the games in the 360 section. So as he was looking I approached the guy and very politely asked him to buy the game for me. He started laughing because he told me that he did the same thing when he was 14 getting PS2 games. So I gave him the amount of money needed to get the game and I also gave him a little tip for getting it for me.
So I rode back home a happy man with my awesome copy of GTA IV in my hand. My friends got some ****ty PS2 games because they didn't have thier 360's yet. What I'm basically trying to say in this blog is that being a kid when all of the best games that come out are M rated kinda sucks. They all think that if people my age (15) play violent games will turn into violent psychaotic muder children but really all the violent psychaotic murder children are messed up before they play these games.
Oh well, guess I'll just have to keep asking people to buy the games for me until I turn 18.- Posted Aug 23, 2008 10:57 pm PT

So this week is fair week in our town so I have been going to that everyday. Today me and this girl were walking through the stands of markets and such that people try to sell their stuff. We were walking together and we saw a movie place, so we went through and looked and we each found a movie and of course being the gentleman I am, I bought her movie as well. So the movie I got is
Crank, staring Jason Stathon. It looks like a pretty good action movie, I'll go watch it after I am done typing this. The movie I bought for the girl I was with was Mean Girls. It wasn't actually as bad as I was expecting it too be. So after we bought the movies we went to her house and watched Mean Girls, then I went home.
When I got home I played Bully for 360, I am going to try and beat this game 100% and I don't have that much left to do. I did get a bunch of achievements for the game these past few days like one that was pissing me off was getting the high scores on the arcade machine games. God damn you Nutshots!!
Well that's about it for this blog here. Remember my birthday is in 5 days! I'll do a video of what I got on the 21st or 22nd because I'm going to be buying some games with my birthday money.
I'm going to watch the new I for an I and then Crank.
Peace!

That is how long I have to wait until it is my birthday. I already made a wishlist of stuff for my parents and there are a few games on there. I will make a video on the 20th(my B-Day) to show you all what I got.
I also beat Guitar Hero Aerosmith on Expert and that game was pretty fun but really short. There's only about 35 songs. Oh well at least that achievements were easy. Also Timeshift sucks so I'm not going to play that anymore.
So I also got past 27,000 achievement points today. GH did it, but I don't know the exact number right now so just look at my profile yourself if you are interested.
Fair tomorrow!
Bye!

9Aug 08Like this!
- I returned from my cousins cabin on Thursday and had a blast, toob wars was so much fun. We had 2 toobs and we were jumping on each others toobs and throwing the other cousins off. We had 2 to a toob. At night we usually played cards, a game called torrettes. The point of the game is to layout a card and whatever that card starts with you have to say a word starting with that letter. Ex. You put a 9 card out and 9 starts with N, so you have to say a word that starts with N and whoever says a word first gets that card and whoever has the most cards at the end of the deck wins! Wish I could go back to the cabin. Nice to see that family again.
- I beat Secret Agent Clank on the way back from the cabin and it was awesome, I already started my 2nd playthrough. I love the replay value these Ratchet and Clank games give you.
- A few hours ago I beat Saints Row and all I have to say for the ending is, what the ****. But in the last mission of each gang your character talks and it's really funny what he sais.
- I started playing Ratchet and Clank Size Matters because I'm just in the R&C mood right now! It is the only R&C game I haven't beaten. I got to the last boss awhile ago but got stuck because I had no bolts so I couldn't buy any ammo so I started over and am saving my bolts. Also working on my 2nd playthrough of Tools of Destruction.
- I listend to the entire Avenged Sevenfold self titled album and it's awesome! Put both their self-titled album and City of Evil on Rock Band now!! Also watched the bonus DVD that came with it and it was pretty cool and funny. A7X is now my favorite band so I might pick up thier first 2 albums.
- The fair starts on Monday and I will be going everyday for the next week so don't expect too many things here during that time.
- After listening to this weeks Giant Bombcast I tried hemp milk and it's nasty. Don't ever drink it!
- I don't have any gold on my XBL so don't send me invites to play cause I can't.
- After the fair I will be getting Resistence if I can find it for 30$ and a secret game that I am ordering off Amazon, I will have a Da Package video whenever I get it.
- Started playing Dead Rising and I can't beat the 2nd time you face Carlito, when he has the sniper. I don't have any guns so I have to use melee.

27Jul 08....and play Rock Band!
Seriously though, I played the Rock Band on the drums and it was quite a workout. If you are playing are Expert like me
then you will know what I'm talking about. The absolute coolest song to play is Working Man by Rush. It's really fast paced and the fills are awesome to play. I need to get some Microsoft points so I can get some more songs. The first thing I would get is The Who's album and then more Rush songs and the A7X tracks they released. So I should be getting a 4,000 point card for 50$ soon. I will have a lot of songs to play when I get the points. Right now I have a total of 119 songs.
Besides playing a lot of Rock Band, I have of course been playing Ratchet and Clank Future. It is a fantastic game and it still brings back characters from the first game which is really nice to see. Another thing I liked is the weapon wheel, instead of having just one wheel, they have all the wheels you will need for your guns. You can just scroll through them until you get to the one you want. It's much better then the 1 they had in the other games. You would have to pause the game and go to the weapons menu and manually select the weapon you want. Something else I noticed that was in this game was the music, it really adds a nice tone to the action and it fits perfectly with the environment your in. The game still keeps up the funny tone that you would expect from series. There is also some SIXAXIS control but that really feels like it was shoe horned in, but luckily you can turn it off if you want.
So after enjoying Ratchet and Clank for PS3 I really want to get Secret Agent Clank for the PSP. So when I go to get the Microsoft points I will also be getting Secret Agent Clank. I'm not going to play it until I'm finished with Tools of Destruction though.
Well that's it for this one!
P.S. I didn't do a video this weekend because I had my final baseball tournament and we got 3rd place just to let you know.

26Jul 08Ish, you happy now?
The ending was indeed fantastic and definitely is one of the greatest games of all time. The story was amazing throughout the whole game and so was the gameplay.
Loved it!
Oh yeah I also got Ratchet and Clank for the PS3 yesterday and it's pretty awesome. Also got over 25,000 gamerscore as well.- Posted Jul 26, 2008 9:56 am PT

23Jul 08So I was listening to this weeks From The Bleachers and the first thing I noticed was that a question of mine was answered on the show. The question was, "What do you guy's think of advertising in sport's games." So that was pretty cool and then they got to call it picks and mine was the first one answered and I choose that the Twins will win at least 2 games this week, which was a few weeks ago and they won 3-4. So I will be getting a free sports gamer hat in the mail.
I think it's always kind of cool to get your name said in a podcast or video. Now let's just hope that my questions start getting answered in the Giant Bombcast, it's the only thing that I haven't gotten a question answered in. I have had them answered in The Hotspot, FromTheBleachers, and On The Spot.
So I am kind of excited because this will be the first thing I actually won from the internet.
See ya'll this weekend in Lizards Lair Part 29!- Posted Jul 23, 2008 11:39 pm PT

Hey guys I'm going to be telling you about a couple of movies I rented recently. The first movie is "Police Academy", I've heard about this movie for awhile from a few of my friends and I finally watched it and the guy who makes all the noises with his mouth is amazing. He can make all sorts of noises assorting from helicopters too machine gun fire. Even though the movie is over 20 years old, the comedy is close to the comedy you can find these days. All the characters are funny and have their own uniqueness to them. So my final grade of Police Academy is 5/5.
Now the second movie I watched is "Police Academy 2", this is just as funny as the first if not funnier. I head my second favorite line from a movie ever. The first being "Why so SERIOUS!" from the Joker in The Dark Knight. Anyways that line is from one of the "stupid" police officers and he was talking to his captain and of course he said something stupid and the captain asked him, "Do you even have a full dick?" and he replied, "Sorry, I don't play cards". I laughed so hard when I heard that line I was crying. My final grade for Police Academy 2 is a 5/5.
So hopefully next weekend I will hopefully be renting Police Academy 3&4 and maybe rent another game. I have been playing The Club and it's pretty cool.My favourite mode in the game is the mode where you have to keep the time from running out by getting kills and collecting time pick ups. It really keeps the tension up, and that you have to keep moving fast and you have to have some good skills front cover with your quick aiming skills.
So this friday a few friends and I are going to be going on a bike ride to Target so we can all get our games. My friend who just got a 360 is getting Call of Duty 4, my other friend is getting Battlefield: Bad Company because he is a big Battlefield fan and has been for awhile, and of course I will be getting Ratchet and Clank Future: Tools of Destruction. I played the demo for Ratchet and had a blast with it, the weapons are awesome. I like the disco ball you can throw up and your enemies will start danceing and then you can change them into penguins, so danceing penguins is the only reason why I am buying this game. Faw shoow!
So I might do a video blog this weekend if I'm not too busy so expect that and this is the end of the 2nd blog here on Giantbomb!
See ya'll later!- Posted Jul 23, 2008 11:16 am PT

After watching hours and hours of footage from multiple sites and TV shows I thought I might as well make a top 10 list of my favorite games of E3 as well as some honorable mentions.
10. Mirror's Edge

The first person jumping and sliding looks like alot of fun and that you can go through the whole game without shooting a single bullet. Fianlly a FPS that isn't about some war or aliens.
9. Dark Void

The cover mechanic with the jetpack and on the walls makes this game stand out from other shooters which is hard to do these days. Looking forward to seeing more of this game.
8. Fable 2

Loved the first Fable so this one looks 10 times better with co-op and guns and supposedly a fantastic story. The dog looks like its incorperated really well.
7. Crysis Warhead

More of the same awsome Crysis game it takes place during the first game but you play as one of your other squadmates.
6. Dead Space

The graphics and monster design look amazing. The strategic dismemberment that they talk about and show looks awsome. Cant wait for this one.
5. Mercenaries 2: World in Flames

The action packed gameplay with superb looking explosions make this game a no brainer for me since explosions are the best!
4. Little Big Planet

When I first saw this game I thought it looked stupid, but after watching the Sony press conference and they made all there boring graphs into an awsome level in this game changed my mind right away. I cant wait to make my own levels and share them with my friends and see my friends levels!
3. Resident Evil 5

With the recently announced co-op with a girl named Sheva, I cant wait to shoot some zombies with some of you guys. You also get to play as Chris Redfield again who is my favorite character in the Resident Evil series.
2. Rock Band 2

With over 500 songs by the end of the year this will be a game we all will be playing for years! The new drum set looks awsome and isnt as loud as the current ones.
1. Fallout 3

Its basically Oblivion with guns. It also has over 100 hours of gameplay and the first person shooting looks amazing. If its anything like Oblivion this has a good chance of being once of the greatest games of all time.
Honorable Mentions
Gears of War 2
Guitar Hero World Tour
Wheelman
HAWX
Resistence 2
inFAMOUS
Prince of Persia
Project Origin
FF13
So this list of my games of E3 are hopefull all the games I will be buying later this year and early next year. Thank you for reading and enjoy your games! Sorry about some of the images as well.
