I only have a few more weeks until my year subscription needs to be renewed but I finally achieved a goal I wanted to complete since I got my 360 which was to get over 10000 achievement points for my Gamertag.
I past my goal last night playing NCAA Football 09 just trying to get achievements for that game. I feel this game will be my first complete achievement game and I hope not my last. I still have a lot of games to conquer and such little time to do so.
Well, that's it for now. I also have a GiantBomb account but I don't really see myself leaving this place so I'm not even going to talk about it. My username is simular to this ones (ruffedgz). That's all.
Cheers!
The newest Pixar movie WALL-E was another break through of a wonderful story line and lovable characters made totally of CGI technology. The movie is fun for children but adults can go and still enjoy the show as well.
The story takes place 700 years into the future and we see planet earth as a huge garbage filled mess and one robot named WALL-E. WALL-E is the last robot on earth collecting trash, compacting it and making skyscraper size building of trash. This is his job and goes about doing this day after day but he isn't any ordinary robot. He shows curiosity and intelligence that probably wasn't programmed into his system. He collects items that interest him, that are different or just parts that he can use for himself (spare parts). He knows nothing else outside from his normal routine and hasn't seen a human since they colonized in outer space in a space-cruise-ship. One day, something out of the ordinary happened to him which involved another robot, named EVE, touching down on earth to find if life exists on earth. EVE finds what she needs and it taken away in a ship which WALL-E follows to be with EVE, back to the space-cruise-ship.
The movie has little talking going on but speaks a thousand words with the characters movements and gestures. Any person who can't speak English should be able to understand how WALL-E is feeling at that moment or any other robot character in the movie. Pixar did a fabulous job with the design and colors for this movie. Nothing was overwhelming to the eye and everything fit the story nicely. The characters fit wonders with the story and you also have a soft spot for WALL-E as he tries to be with EVE but messes up in the process. This movie is fun for all ages and it shows that you don't always need sex, violence or vulgar language to be entertaining and tell a good story.
Gotham City has had a lot of problems but it seems to always resolve itself because of one man; Batman. The caped crusader is back and better than ever not only winning over the fans but breaking records as well.
Bruce Wayne has gone through a lot in his life and has taken the job not only as the richest and most powerful man in Gotham but also fight injustice as well. This time, the Joker comes into town not wanting money but the mere enjoyment or playing around with Gotham's citizens and Batman. This mad man seems to be the hardest villain to capture because he has no motive, soul or fear in the world. There was also an appearance from Two-Face helping out with some of the chaos as well.
I couldn't say enough about Heath Ledger's performance as the Joker which takes a comic book character role into a real psychotic feel. The Joker has no identity, no name and no regrets for what he has done or what he will do to the innocent. Heath Ledger made his role believable. Christian Bale plays Bruce Wayne who we all know is Batman. He also doesn't disappoint with his performance and makes it his own. The special effects were well done and had little CGI in the movie. The quality of the writing, direction, acting and production was all top notch as it has become the biggest weekend earnings ever in movie history.
One of the trailers to "The Dark Knight" was another comic book movie that might be another story to keep your eye's open for. Watchmen is the movies name which is a comic about an alternate 1985 where superheros live. In the comic, Richard Nixon is still the president and the cold war with Russia is still at its highest. These superheroes seem to be part of a bigger plot to kill them one at a time. The comic itself has won awards and has said to be one of the 100 best English novels dating from 1923 to 2005. This movie isn't coming until 2009 but I'm already excited to see if this movie keeps its title of "best graphical novel of our time".
Since buying NCAA Football 09, I have been around the SportsGamer's Forums just chatting and helping people out as much as I can. It's kind of enjoyable since we talk about sports games and such ![]()
Nothing else to report, just doing what I'm doing ![]()
Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!
After watching 2 of the 3 conferences online (the Nintendo conference just didn't interest me but I might watch the stream of it later), Microsoft pulled ahead yet again from its competitors this year with some wonderful flips and tricks up it's sleeve.
Don't get me wrong, the PS3 does look like a good console in the near future but how long will that be. Two years, four years or even ten years?? Who knows but what I do know now is Mirosoft has really made a good impression this year and the up coming year.
It's good to be a 360 owner...
I told myself after 2k Sports was going to drop the College Hoops franchise that I would try and NOT buy EA games because of how they handle their business. I just wanted to make a point about how a sports franchise shouldn't be owned by just ONE company.
It's not July 12th and I went to EB Games and... pre-ordered an EA game
*turns away in shame*
I know it's bad that I broke my own promise to myself but I just love College Football a lot and this years games does look like a cla ssic in the era of College Football games. I do hope to keep my promise after July 15th since I don't need another College basketball game, I can get NHL 2kX when I feel like it, tennis hasn't been taken by EA yet and there are multiple soccer games outside of FIFA. The only other one I'm worried about is Tiger Woods Golf since I love to play golf games (not so much watching). *Takes deep breathe* I should be alright as long as I try and stay strong and keep myself focused on other games.
As a side note: I will making something for AaronThomas or BrianEk (if they want to fight for it, that's fine with me
)
Cheers!
