  It's Been a Long Time, Hasn't It?

  Wow, it's definitely been a while since I last posted a blog on here. (I wonder if anyone will even read this.) I basically stated in my last post that I'd be leaving GameSpot and making a home for myself over at GameTrailers. It's been over one year since I did just that, and I enjoy it a lot over there. Unlike the majority of my early blogs here, all of my entries on GT are pretty lengthy and a lot more meaningful.

  I can't believe I'm at level 30 over here. I haven't even reached level 20 on GT! Maybe leveling up is easier here, or maybe it was because I used to post in the forums like crazy here. Not to mention all the blogs.

  Anyway, I still check in regularly. If any of you read this, how are you doing? What have you been up to?

  From Indefinite Hiatus to Retirement from Gamespot

  Hello, everyone. I know it's been awhile since I last posted something here on Gamespot. The truth is, you could very well be looking at my final blog post here on this site. I grew tired of GS not too long ago, and I just lost interest in posting as well as researching games through here. The reviews take too long to come out, a lot of my favorite GS personnel are gone, and I am just bored with this website.

  I have decided to jump over to Gametrailers. I first heard about that site from Warfust, and after doing some research on it, I decided that that was the games website for me. It's a very well-managed site, and some of you should definitely check it out. (And if you decide to join, please refer me when you register, as that'll help me out a lot.) The community there is positive, and although I haven't figured out the site completely, there is a lot to see and do there.

  I never forget my roots though. GS was my first games website, and when I joined, I was truly devoted to it. I feel that I accomplished great things here: I earned a few badges; joined a few unions; got through that dreaded level 20; wrote some of my best reviews; and most importantly, "met" a lot of cool people. IppaiMetaru, gugi_nayar, redbandana2, Redertainment (now a member of 1UP), Warfust (fellow Gametrailers member), SuikodenFantasy, Video_Tycoon (Didn't get to know you much, but you were still a cool buddy!), blackthegame, and last, but certainly not least, the lovely veni-vidi-vici (Your blogs were always some of the most interesting reads I did all day.). You were all a blast to talk to on here. Hopefully I'll hear from you.

  I will come back sparodically to see what you are all up to, and maybe to do a little tagging while I'm at it. Other than that, you can find me at Gametrailers. I'm still interpolred over there. Feel free to email me if you wish at blink182bcrtp@sbcglobal.net!

  Peace, everyone! Thanks for letting me share and for sharing with me. Have fun and keep gaming!

  Seperate Ways, Assignment Ada

  Upon beating RE4, I unlocked some extra content which gave this near 20-hour game even more life.

  The first bonus mode I played was Seperate Ways. This is Ada Wong's side of the story, and although the gameplay wasn't as fully fledged out as that of the main game's, it still made for an interesting game mode and it had plenty of story to boot.

  I finished that last night, clocking in four and a half hours into it. This morning I played through Assignment Ada, which is basically a bonus mission for Ada. There were a few checkpoints, yet no save points, as it was mainly an extended mission, not a full story mode. Still, it was a nice distraction and pretty fun to play through.

  I have yet to attempt Professional mode. That will follow soon enough. For now, it's on to The Mercenaries.
