Semipro Gamer and hacker.

My god, I found out today that I can't speak worth a damn. I mean really, I deleted nearly 25 minutes of footage with me just trying to do a 10 minute video. I will upload it as soon as GameSpot's video player will let me upload without giving me an error about not being able to find some weird line of code.
By the way, this is probably the worst video I've ever made. They will get better as they go on and change drastically. This was just such a rushed job in both editing and acting I can't even exempt myself from it. Other than the game intro which I made in half an hour, everything else was just one bad thing after another.
But in the mean time, here's the best preview EVER!

Giggity giggity goo!
I'm talking about a "What would you rather see" video you pervs.
So really, what would you rather see in my house?
A. My Room (Including my upstairs gaming collection)
B. My Computer (Including my favorite websites)
C. The Bathroom (Including my Hello Kitty toothbrush holder)
D. The view from my window (Including my driveway!!!!) - I know, awesome!
The answer with the most votes by the 21st of August wins. And I'll have to post a video of said answers agreement.
Have fun!

It's been a while since I've posted anything else other than another unboxing blog. But I just decided to check up my stats for some of the websites I use on a day to day basis, and I came across it little shocker...
Just look at how many Photobucket views I receive per month! Almost 11,000!!! I was expecting it to be around the 500 to 600 range. But I never knew how many pictures I have posted around the web with forums, blogs, icons, wallpapers, banners, ect... If you simply load my profile, you'll notice how I use just about everything uploaded to Photobucket instead of Imageshack or another serves. Mainly because I like to have my images stick around for longer than 90 days. But I didn't notice how it effects my view count. This is just mid August for Pete's sake!
I'm really needing to cut this short, I was planing on posting a nice blog on what you'd rather see of my life. In VIDEO FORM!!!!
But It's a little late for that now. No no, that doesn't mean that I wont do it. It's just the fact that it's pich black outside and I like to have some natural light in my room before filming. Damn you florescent bulbs!
Damn youuuuuu!!!

I've been holding off on doing this blog since about 3AM on the 12th of this month on the train back from New York's Grand Central Station. Yes I was indeed at the Metal Gear Solid 4 launch, in Time Square, all day long (Since 9AM) waiting in line for the game to be finally released to those uncomfortably energetic little kids in line since the day before.
So just to clear things up... Seeing as the pictures aren't entirely clear (Camera Phone). I received autographs from both Hideo Kojima & Yumi Kikuchi (A.K.A. "Raging Raven").
Want some of those pictures I always like to post? Sure...
Both autographs...
Hideo's autograph... Blurry, I know
Yumi (Left) Hideo (Right)
Now that was the copy I bought at launch...
At the Virgin Mega Store...
At midnight...
Where I was nearly stampeded by 300 Spartans...
I mean FANS!
*Time Paradox!*
I had a special package arrived nearly a month ago. In said package was a bonus DVD with a nice little series retrospective and a key to join the Metal Gear Online Beta. The DVD was a good watch, for 20 minutes... Mkay?
...Seeing as I wasn't going to even touch that autographed disc again for another 10 years (Sealed in glass) I had to buy another copy of the game to actually enjoy and play, eventually. So I might of aswell bought a copy of the special edition of the game. Which is what I did!
Now this was the true reason behind why I had to delay this blog for so long. My package got lost twice in the mail, bent, crushed, and drenched in water... Thank god it was sealed in bubble rap! It arrived around 1PM today, in the cramped little mailbox down the driveway. And NOT at the front door like it was supposed too! Thanks a lot UPS!!! I'll be sure to use Fedex next time...
Shipped on the 10th
Arrived on the 20th -
Oh yeah, that special edition of the game I bought...
Nice looking packaging huh?
Nice and bent. Just like how I like it... Not!
This book currently resides beneath 3 dictionary's, 5 Harry Potter books, and 1 copy of The Lord of the Rings never returned to the library.
Soon this will be fixed.
Nice Aluminum front...
Paper background, now removed to reveal the contents of the packaging...
HELLO!!!
Nice and clean...
Bonus disc...
A nice little spoiler warning label...
Making of Blu-Ray DVD/Offical Soundtrack CD...
Captain Blurriness to the rescue!
So there you have it, $160 in games and $200 in travel fees and I'm a happy little camper...
Wait a second! I forgot this freebie I got while waiting in line for Metal Gear Solid 4...
The Love Guru T-Shirt!!!
Frequency code lost! Ending transmission...

No, not in real life, but in the infamous city from Grand Theft Auto IV. Liberty City, for all of you who didn't know that already. Tisk... Tisk...
I'm not going to make a huge deal about this and start going on and on about how good the game is or how which console version is better than the other. So I'll make it quick a post with a few pictures so I can get back into the game. Oh yeah, I ordered it from Amazon.com which they happily gave me a special bonus with my order. A Liberty City licence plate. Oh yeah, want the pictures right?
Sorry for the blurriness or censorship of some of the images. I'd rather keep my home address hidden for obvious reasons. And also my hand was a tad shaky from excitement.
Have fun with it guys, and enjoy your copy if you got one.

No no no I'm not going to start referring about a random person in my life.
This isn't Myspace. Seeing the fact that this is a semi large banner saying "GameSpot" on it and you can also tell by the Orange background with a **** load of emblems in my profile. Thankfully, don't have a Myspace. *Whipes forehead*
This is just a simple blog about the fact that my Outlier emblem has finally returned to my profile after a very long absence.
Though granted, there isn't much can be said after this point...
Wait, what's is this? Another game?
What did I buy this time? Oops
Yep, this time a game from Sega. Ok, I'll bite this time. After looking at the sequel's gameplay improvements in full HD. Like the first one, it started to grow on me after a while. I wanted this to be as my first 360 game I had bought for the launch of the Xbox 360. Yes, the achievements in the game are a little bit on the hard side. But hey, I don't really go for them most of the time. Hence the only 180 achievements in my gamercard
Well anyway, I just had to pick it up. At least before the sequal came out. By the way, it was used sadly. But the same goes for Dead Rising. Sure the second game in this 'Series' is coming out tomorrow. And sure, there is the probable chance that I'll not be going to play this game for a while. But still, it'll still do it in this case. Just adding to my collection of next gen games.

Some of my most watched movies come from the horror film genera.
The Evil Dead (Parts I, II, and III)
The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie
Ok maybe not that last one. But still, there are countless films that many people wont even see in their lifetime.
However, when you come to think of it... There are very few horror video games being put out compaired to the movie industry. You know, not including the 200 sequels of a game. Or the "Trilogy" that follow just about each series that Capcom puts out. Just look at it, there are very few games that I actually do enjoy and are successful at the same time. Sure there is Resident Evil or Silent Hill. Plus A few games that come and go each and every year like Condemned or "Technically" Bioshock. Which IS a great title. But they never truly last more then a few months or so, just a quick period for them to sell and that's it. Here they go into the bargain bin for most game stores like EBgames or FYE.
Don't get me wrong. I love those high quality titles that they do the right thing for. But there are the series that major companies are just putting out each and ever year just to saturate the market with crap most of the time. Resident Evil 4 was, in my option, the high point of their creative status at Capcom. Just about everything felt right in that game. The weapons, gameplay, characters, action, and even thrills just about every 20 minutes or so that will make people jump out of their seat in rare occasions. Even the boss fights were pretty well balanced and were fantastic to enjoy over and over again. But there have been 5 "Official" ports of the game though. Isn't that enough "Over and over" for most people?
Let's count shall we?
Resident Evil 4 - GameCube (1/11/05)
Resident Evil 4 - Playstation 2 (10/25/05)
Resident Evil 4 - PC (5/15/07)
Resident Evil 4 - Wii (6/19/07)
Resident Evil 4 - Mobile Phone (TBA)
Sure that's about it in the successive sense of this story, according to Capcom that is. A good franchise being milked sadly.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Oh right, the title of the blog doesn't actually have to do with the sort pointless sum-up of all thing RE4 title ports to each console known to man. Or so it seems...
Anyway. it's about time of the year that I decide to go finally outside of my dark cave-like area I call "my room" and actually buy something for once.
But what to buy?
70+ hours of both pure zombie disembowelment joy and the Xbox 360's HD graphical achievements that will soon come with it.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Well I'm off for the night. Going to watch Hot Fuzz for the first time since I rented it on DVD like a year ago from Blockbuster.
Have a great night everyone!

Well this has been a week of both accomplishments and failures in the emblem world. So let's get started...
New Emblem
A craving for speed!
This enthusiastic Forza Motorsports 2 driver played against 191 others in GameSpot's Driven to Win tournament.Comments: Thank god for my holiday bundle Xbox 360 which came with a duel case including Forza Motorsport 2 and Marve: Ultimate Alliance inside it. Also, this is actually my 45th emblem to be added in my profile. But you can look down another emblem post to see why I only currently have 44 in my profile.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Simi-lost Emblem
Outlier. For consistently going against the grain. Public opinion means nothing to the outlier, whose opinions frequently, if not usually, fly in the face of everybody else's. Either the outlier is crazy or everyone else is, and the outlier is pretty sure it's not the former of the two.
Comments: Due to a select GameSpot emblem code glitch. Instead of this emblem going away for a day or so, it'l go for nearly 2 weeks at a time. But it shall return!!!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Not even going to try and write another fake description.
Comments: Well this would make it to be nearly impossible for me to get seeing the fact that I do live in the USA rather than Australia.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Be on the lookout for short and pointless blog post about my recent general media purchases and what you'll be expecting next in a few future blogs, updating you on things going on with my life and this profile.
There is even the possibility of a true Vlog in the making. If you behave yourself.

It's amazing! Here I thought that it would take me a while to get out of these levels of 30 to 40. It's actually pretty fast to go through.
It's almost like it speeds up the level process once you've reached a little bit past 50% of the level.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Level 31: Ippon!
A reference to Karate Champ, possibly the first arcade martial-arts game. As a side note, I used to kick ass at that game. That charging bull didn't stand a chance against my mighty spinning back kick.
Per-Day: 4.10% (Compared to 4.24% in lvl 30)
Total Level Time: 24 days (Same as lvl 30)

Emblems - 44th (My Outlier emblem is currently glitched right now)
Rows - 8th
Well this is an honest surprise for me. The game was pretty fun to play if you wanted a small bit challenge added to your life. But I never thought that GameSpot would ever release this emblem due to so many employee contracts being terminated by CNET.
Anyway, thanks to Don for finally getting this emblem out into the world.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What does this button do?
Bearers of this emblem managed to complete the Scavenator session of September '07 with some impressive times. Live long and scavenate!- Posted Feb 26, 2008 1:40 pm PT

Yes, incase you haven't noticed over the past few hours with the coverage of GDC 08. Gears of War 2 has been officially announced by EPIC Games for a November 2008 release date. (Subject to change)
The trailer, which I sadly can't embed into this post is only a teaser to the actual gameplay and is merely a taste of what is coming soon in the near future. But what it does show in the teaser is a brand new "Finishing Move" to come with the Chainsaw Bayonet.
Battling a Locust with a chainsaw and eventually turning the gun upside-down and stabbing him in the back while pulling upwards. Thus ripping his chest cavity.
You can see why this game is not intended for kids.
Also, EPIC has released pictures of what seems to be the "Limited Edition" (Left) version of the game. Most likely it will be coming once again in a metal tin, with bonus disc, art book, and a $10 price increase compared to the regular edition of the game (Right) Which is probably set at $59.99 for the US market.
Well there you have it. Gears of War 2 is now official and is ready for CliffyB to revolutionise the games series once again.

Ok, I now officially know who it is coming from exactly.
Hint #1: A major computer manufacturer.
Also, I think I already know now what it is by now. But I'll just have to wait on telling you guys until I've finally picked it up and know for sure.
What could this be?

Apparently all this time I had a "Mystery" package arriving from a friend waiting for me at the UPS store. But it was sadly delayed drastically for unknown reasons. Also, I don't know anything about it or where it's coming from exactly because they aren't allowed to give that information over the phone.
I mean after all, it still wouldn't be a big mystery surprise if I already knew what it was. Now would it?
What do you think this package could contain?

Yes, It's another one of those blogs about where I go out into the world just to pickup a few shiny new emblems for my already abnormal wall that is contently growing. Even as you read THIS sentence that I'm kindly just writing down for you to read while you're just sitting comfortably in a nice warm chair. It's probably late at night for most of you. Or for some, an early in the morning.
Have a good breakfast?
Most people think I already have enough emblems in my profile to last a lifetime here. Or until I turn up banned or decided to leave here after spending endless hours time after time again on this amazing site. But I say NO to any person who say's I should stop going for more fascinating emblems created by the staff.
*Lightens subject a little*
You see, It's that time of year again folks...
Emblem Hunting 2008
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tagger King: Awarded to those who've exhaustively used with the tagging system, enabling themselves and others to make it a whole lot easier to find certain content.
Requirements: Estimated, 1000 different tags or more.
Difficulty (to obtain): Extremely Difficult
Comments: The highest known Tagger Emblem.
Personal Info: I currently have 640/1000 tags
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pushover. If only everything in life were this easy. This individual is extremely generous when it comes to evaluating games. Each new game is "definitely the best game I've ever played!", judging by the very high review scores being doled out here. Speculate all you want, but we both know you're just jealous.
Requirements: This emblem also has to do with your overall Game Collection Average and the way you rate & review games. Giving a great number of poorly reviewed games, high ratings/reviews will get you this emblem.
Difficulty (to obtain): Difficult
Comments: My experiences and research with the emblem made me discover that to get this emblem easier you need to give games that Gamespot gave low scores (6 and under) very high scores. You can only have one, either "Way Harsh" or "Pushover"
Personal Info: This is going to be a tad tricky due to the fact that it's an extremely hard emblem to receive once you already have the "Outliar" emblem in your profile.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Artistic Genius: Awarded to those whose artistic talents have helped beautify gamespaces all across the GameSpot landscape.
Requirements: Submit a gamespace banner to Gamespot. If it is accepted, you will recieve this emblem.
Difficulty (to obtain): Easy
Comments: This emblem is a little more difficult to obtain than before. Visit GameSpot's Gamespace Banner Union. for details and banner submissions
Personal Info: This is going to take some time to become good at. Which sad for me, because I don't exactly have a lot of time these days.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Well there you have it. 3 emblems I'll be going for in the next few months, along with any tournament emblems currently under-wraps by the secret societies of GameSpot
So while I'm ending this subject on emblems that I'll be going for in the near future. Let me ask you one question before you leave without commenting or simply just posting an easy "Congrats dude" reply in my profile for the 12th time in a row. I just want a true answer for once to a question.
What SINGLE emblem are you going to go for here on GameSpot?

I'm not going to make a huge ordeal about this because I have to go out in just a few seconds, but here's the info...
(This is my 43rd emblem and I'm starting my 8th row of emblems)
Live, from Vegas, It's Thursday Night!

No this isn't just another glitch report. But a clever idea that a user made...
1. Go to the link provided with the image below and scroll down to the 3rd post.
2. Click name link on the user named "0".
3. Surprise! YOU are the invisible user.
How would an admin or mod get to this persons profile? They are invisible...

Now just so you know, I do in-fact go on occasionally look through my previous blog posts just to see if a user did summitd a comment that I never knew about and sadly missed for some reason. But in this one rare case... I found a comment that would change the world as you know it.
**Melts in chair** (Forgets EVERY glitch ever seen on GameSpot.)
Now I'm not sure if she was just kidding or not seeing the fact that it's a pretty ugly blog post. But whatever it is. It's just like an autograph was sent directly to me.

It's kinda hard to believe that I started off here just searching for a guide for a stupid game And just had to join after seeing all the amazing features. I guess I should also be pretty proud that I've yet to be banned here after 2 years. From what I've heard by a few mods, most of the users don't make it past level 20 before quiting and or being banned.
So here's the stats for being here for 2 years on GameSpot...

My Blog Posts: 81 (Not including this one)
I'm not one for blogging too much, I actually hate doing it. I even tried filming a few "Vlogs" but that kinda also failed in the process.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rated Games: 161
No need for me to rate a game from now on. I'll lose my "Outliar" emblem if I chose to do so.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Games in Collection: 273
Once again, I don't want to lose another emblem.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Once again, not much of a video fan either. I tried with the text vlog but those just ended in a horrible mess that I called 8 hours of work finding everything.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Most Views - Video: 1,950
It was my GTA IV Delay vlog. In-which I consider to be my one great success for videos here. Even though it had several grammar errors.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Images Uploaded: 0
No real point for me right now. Any images I want to use I'll just find the URL and post the image that way, or upload it to Photobucket and post it myself.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Digg Referrals: 0
Not surprised there, nothing Digg worthy in my opinion.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Written Reviews: 0
Not much of a writer. I have around 100 reviews spread across on my PC's hard drive. But I have to have posted ANY at all.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I need to get back into tagging so I'll eventually get the "Tagger King" emblem upgrade for my profile. I just haven't gotten around to it yet.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Well there you have it. 2 years worth of accomplishments!
I hope to be around for future features here on GameSpot and not get into too much trouble.
