  I'm Back?

  Yes indeedy, been a while, school started and stuff, took a break.

  Hope everyone had a good Christmas/Hanukkuah/etc. and New Years.

  Got a couple new games: Prince of Persia, Rock Band 2(FTW!), Crisis Core, and a few others.

  Made a new "Banner", its a really a banner, its for my XBOX, gonna make it the background, but I'll be working on a new banner for Gamespot, don't know what game yet though..any suggestions??

  Uh..since I've gotten Rock Band 2, I've been beasting my way through drums, just beat "Painkiller" by Judas Priest today on Hard...what a song to play, jeez.

  Other than that, I don't know, so good-bye.

  Productive Week: Two Banners, V-Day Tribute, Gears of War 2 Insanity

  Well, even though I don't get much comments on my blogs, no more than 3 most of the time, I enjoy talking about my week and whatnot. Even though it's Thursday night, I feel victorious tonight. I'll go topic-by-topic, let's start with my Images.

  Well, I've got back into making banners, unfortuantly, the two I have made yesterday and today, are too big for Gamespot requirements, I mean only 50K max? well, for just regular members, that doesn't work for me. So I'll just show the two banners here, in my blog.

   

  This is the one I made on Wednesday, and my personal favorite.

  

  It might seem amateur to some people, but I like it, and think its cool.

  Now here's one I just made and finish about 5 minutes ago, its another Gears one.

  

  Brumak and Skorge vs. Marcus & Marcus vs. Corpser. Hmm...Wonder who will win?

   

  Earlier today, I was thinking of something to make, and I thought of something to do with War. And then I remembered Veteran's was this past Tuesday, that gave me an idea, a tribute of some sort to all men and women who have served our country. Here it is.

   

  

  Eh, I visioned it a lot better, but I still enjoy it, especially the Dog Tag, favorite part of the whole thing. Just a thanks to all who have served our country, 'preciate it.

   

  So theres the Two Banners, and V-Day Tribute, now on to the Gears of War 2 Insanity.

  Ah, tomorrow Gears has been out for a week, and I feel great! 700 Gamerscore already, and I will be beating Insane by the end of the week [I figured out a cheap way to beat it ... don't judge me] IT IS WAY TOO DIFFICULT TO BEAT IT ALONE, so I found out a way to do it...with only one person..pretty simple to figure out, I'll only tell you in a PM.

  Me and couple of my LIVE pals beat Horde together, pretty damn fun with a full group, especially when we goofed around. Also, we had a 5v5 NO-BOTS Private Annex match on Mansion, that was just Insanity, literally. 10 guys swarming around Mansion with only Torque Bows without any dumb bots in the way. I had around 60 Torque Bow kills, and didn't care that we lost, it was just all for fun. Then the next day, me and 3 of my friends did an Annex on Gridlock, 3 rounds of ownage = 142 kills, 135 Torques, 6 Shotguns, 1 Grenade; that is a big accomplishment for me, I sucked with the Torque Bow in the first...and I'm proud to be honing the skills in that, but enough about talking about my personal achievements, I took some bad-ass pictures in GOW2. Here they are:

  

  That last one is pretty gruesome....that's what happens from a Shotgun blast to the face...yeah...

   

  If you have an XBOX 360 and have not tried this game, you must, it's amazing.

  Alright, that's it for now, have a good weekend.

  You Know What Really Grinds My Gears?

  Well, not Gears of War 2, thats for sure. I know the heading is somewhat corny...but it seemed better than 'hey, i got Gears 2'. Well, where to begin? Well as we all know, its the sequel to Gears of War, set 6 months after the ending of the first, and seems like Marcus and Dom are off to stop the locust once and for all!! [GASP], but I'm telling you what happens...thats just bad.

  Gears 2 is pretty much the same as the first...but better in everything: graphics, gameplay, multiplayer!!!!, and new modes online. Horde is where you and four of your friends [total of 5] can team up to take on wave after wave of Locust with increasing difficulty, it seems stupid by yourself but get 2 or 3 friends and you'll have a blast. If you don't believe me, just look at this picture from earlier today...in Horde.

  My friend Rosco Parrish (left) and Mad Yodeler (right)

  New enemies appear, AND THEY GOT RID OF THE EXPLODING WRETCHES!! even though they made something a lot worse than those....tickers....

  The story is pretty easy...solid 10 hours it took to beat it on Hardcore, but Hardcore was like Casual on the first...disappointing..but Insane..well it speaks for itself. three rounds from a Lancer into your foot kills you...headshot kills you, beatdown kills you, if you aren't in cover[and sometimes IN cover], you WILL die...if you beat it on Insane...well...help me out with it...I want to be a Suicide Missionary. The levels they ship with the game are pretty good, although some lack interest and excitement into the gameplay, also if you pre-order you received a "Thanks for being a fan" gift and receive 5 old maps, but renewed, which includes Canals and Gridlock.

  Um, as for progression, I beat it on Hardcore, half with a friend, quarter by myself, then that quarter with my friend again, then the other quarter with another friend, yeah that seems confusing.

  I have 34/50 acheivements, with a total of 560.
