I'm back.
I'm thinking it was stupid just deciding to choose to visit Giant Bomb or Gamespot. I mean I visit other sites. Anyway what I'm saying is that I'm coming back. I still prefer the Giant Bomb staff but I don't see that a suitable reason for me to halt viewing this site. Nothing wrong with a second opinion. I guess I was just kind of mad at gamespot but that has worn off now.
So I'm back, I'll continue to update blog, probably not participate as much in the forums but I'll comment on other blogs and continue to update mine when possible.
So I guess that's it for now.

I had a lot of fun on my vacation. It was really great. The cruise was a lot of fun. All the crew was new though so sometimes no one really knew what was going on which sometimes got annoying. It wasn't the best cruise I've been on but also not the worst. When we stopped at Nassau my family stayed at the Atlantis hotel for a day. Atlantis has an amazing water park. Probably the most well designed water ride there is the lazy river type ride. It starts off like a lazy river but you make a turn and it turns into very quick rapids. There's one part where you go through a thin area with high walls and hundreds of gallons of water is unleahsed at you all at once. I was flipped out of my tube a few times by this. Throughout the river you choose which way you would like to go so the experience varies every time. One option takes you up to a temple looking structure that stands high above the trees. A lift takes you to the top of the temple and you can choose from three intense slides. Anyway it was all very fun.
Anyway when I got home and fired up my 360 after playing for awhile I was greeted by a red ring. I sighed and turned the console off waiting a few moments then turned it back on. The 360 lasted through the rest of the night. However after waking up this morning 10 minutes ago I turned on my xbox and had teh red rings of death again and did not recover.
Oh well I knew this would happen sometime. 
Also on E3 I haven't checked out much yet, but I've scanned the news and checked a Resident Evil 5 and Fallout 3 demo. I haven't seen any press conferences yet. Anyway I heard E3 was kind of a let down this year. I didn't see any surprises in the news. Please point out any exciting news I may have missed. Anyway I'm going to check out all the stuff now so check back later.
Also I may not be able to post as frequently as I have marching band practice every day til school starts now and I also have failed to finish my summer homework so this could be my last "real" post for awhile. I'll probably still post little updates like whenever my 360 returns or whenever I send it off or if I purchase a new game. Stuff like that. Anyway later, have a good day.

Well looks like I'm going to miss E3 again this year.
Oh well I'll get to check out all the new stuff when I get back, but anyway I'm going away on a nine day cruise tomorrow. It should be nice and relaxing and hey it should be better than sitting at home watching E3 coverage. I can't wait to hear all the news. Hey last time I left Diablo 3 was announced so maybe something else big will be announced. Well anyway I can't wait. I hope everyone enjoys E3. I think it'll be pretty good. You'll hear from me again in a little over a week.
later

So I was walking through a store not related to gaming at all and something catchs my eye. Alien Disco Safari.
After seeing this I bursted out laughing. Alien Disco Safari, really? Anyay a friend of mine has a birthday coming up and I decided to purchase it for him as a gag gift. I'll also slip a Game Stop gift card in the box. Anyway I thought that was really funny. I can't believe they actually make games like this.-scorched1992

Yay I got to the 10000 achievment points mark.
I also finished Assassin's Creed and I found it fun, repetitive, yes, but fun. Not quite as bad as EGM said but not quite as good as other websites have said. I mainly enjoyed the fighting. Still not a great game but a pretty good experience. I'd say about a 6.5.
Midsummer festival is going on in WoW. I managed to visit most fires in the zones. only have 13 left to visit. It's pretty fun. Gives you a lot of free money. I also got a midsummer festival special item called the brazier of dancing flames. basically it's a little flaming dancing lady and if you dance with her you turn into a regular sized dancing lady. So a couple of my friends and I were just dancing with it in Stormwind and we got a bunch of people to join in. We had a pretty good time.
I've also been extemely sick yesterday. Probably sicker than I've been a very long time. It was horrible. I have violently thrown up 5 times and wasn't able to do much else but lay on the floor or bend over a bucket. So not very fun, but I'm somewhat better now so that's good.
Well that's it for now. I'm still crazy excited for Diablo 3 even though I don't expect it to come out til 2009, but I'm excited. Also my next gamefly game should be Battlefield Bad Company. Not sure if it will be but that should be the next game I play. So that'll be pretty fun.

While I was away it appears that I missed the announcement of Diablo III. I haven't checked out much of the info yet but after being home for awhile I decided to check out the front page of Gamespot to see if anything big has happened in the gaming world and it appears to have happened. Anyway I'm super excited for this game.
Also just got Assasins Creed in from Game Fly. We'll see how I like that. So far only played about 30mins of it and it's going pretty slow, hopefully it'll speed up though. I'm going to get to some Assasins Creed now. It's nice to finally relax and to come home to the great news of Diablo 3.

So I'm going off again. Guess I was wrong about not going anywhere else this summer. This time I bought a new DS game for the road, and it is Space Invaders Extreme for the DS. From the little I've played of it I've really enjoyed it. It seems really cool, but we'll see what I think about it after hours on the road with it. Also I've had the urge to play Civilization 4 and STALKER for some reason. I'm not really sure why but I've been playing a good bit of both of those. It has been really fun. I'm packing right now because I leave tomorrow so this will just be a short post.

So it's still summer. I've been doing a lot of gaming while I've been home along with a lot of yard work, fun, but hey it makes me money, and no money = no games which =
. Right now I haven't been set on any one game. I sent GTA 4 back yesterday. I found after I beat the story all I was just working for the achievements and found myself not having as much fun so I sent it back. I also saw the new hulk movie this week. That was fun and much better than I expected. Also discovered the separte ways story, where you play as Ada, in Resident Evil 4 along with the Merceneries game and the professional diffuculty. I guess I missed it last time because after I finished the first play through I figured I was done, but I guess not. Anyway I finished the seperate ways story and also got 4 stars on one of the merceneries levels. I've also been play CoH as usual. I seem to have lost my touch, I'll probably be changing my strat soon. I've pretty much just been jumping around games. I've played a little bit of Battlefied 2142 and Battlefield 2 and found I much prefer BF2. I haven't been playing WoW as much and neither have my friends. I still enjoy it but do not find the need to play it all the time. It's much more fun to move around games, but I have a couple of friends that just play WoW and pretty much no other game. I don't find that too exciting. I've been hearing a lot about age of conan and have thought about trying that out for the free month the game gives you, but I'll probably just pass it by and save my money for something else. I've also tried out the Bad Company demo. The multiplayer is a lot of fun.Oh yes and the Spore Creature Creator has arrived. I've had a lot of fun with that. It's gotten me very excited for Spore.
If you want to check out my creatures my account name is scorched. I'm not sure how the hole sporepedia thing works yet because I haven't messed with it much but hopefully that's enough info.

Today I have completed GTA 4 and Penny Arcade Adventures: On the Rain Slick Precipice of Darkness Episode 1. They both had really satisfying endings although GTA's was not the happiest of endings it was still a satisfying story. I really enjoyed both games the whole way through and recommend them both. You're sure to have a lot of fun with them, unless you hate Penny Arcade then you might not like that game but the gameplay is actually suprisingly good.

I'm going away on a sailing trip for a little over a week, so you won't hear from me for awhile. Update on GTA 4: I've passed the 50% mark! and I've actually managed to not play WoW for real for two weeks. Also been doing pretty good in CoH with a new infantry strat I made up for americans.
Later Guys and I hope everyone's having a great summer with lots of gaming.

This blog post is going to be a little shorter than most and probably slopier than other games i've gamed posts because I'm somewhat short on time. I didn't get it out on the weekend because sadly my grandmother passed away last week. Anyway on to games now.
Games I've Gamed
So of course I've been playing world of warcraft as always. Not as much as usual though. All I did was some pvp and some arena with my friends. Although their was a seasonal thing going on called childrens day. I adopted an orphan and took her all around the different zones for different quest. Below I should have some pictures of the orphan and I at the Caverns of Time. I've also been playing some TF2 and Company of Heroes. I've almost unlocked the first new medic weapon for TF2 with that new patch that included a ton of new achievements and the new Goldrush map. It's been fun. And I've also been somewhat losing skill in Company of Heroes. I've really got to get back into that.
My View On Things Going on in Gaming
GTA 4 is out! So yeah haven't gotten it yet but I plan on renting it from gamefly. I've even cleared everything from my q to insure that I get the game. Now correct me if I'm wrong but I'm pretty sure this is the highest rated game ever or at least in ten years. That's pretty amazing. So I can't wait to get it, seems like it'll be fun, if anyone would like to share their views of the game if they've played it I'd much appreciate a comment.
That's it for now. Check back next week!

I've decided to start up this little blog post that I will do weekly and I've decided to call it what games i've gamed this week, as you can probably tell from the title of the post. Anyway in this post I will talk about games I've been playing, games I'm excited about, and my opinions on different things going on in gaming. This week I'm just going to talk about games I've gamed.
Games I've Gamed
- World of Warcraft
- Company of Heroes
- Burnout Paradise
- Battlefield 2
- Crysis
So probably the biggest achievement I've made this week in gaming is doing a 25man dungeon in World of Warcraft for the first time and getting my tier4 gear. It was a very interesting experience. I learned a lot. I had no idea what the raid leader was telling me to do at the begining of the dungeon on the first boss. It was like another language, luckily I learn pretty fast and began to understand my role and everything I was spose to do. Anyway we wiped 5 times on the first boss and once on gruul, but eventually we made it out and I got my tier4 leggings and 5 badges of justice. Anyway it was a very fun experience. It's probably the first "hardcore" dungeon I've done. Apparently the first boss, which was actually 5, is the hardest pull in the game. And I did some other stuff in WoW but obviously that was the highlight.
In Company of Heroes I've been getting a lot better. I've ranked up a few times and have played some games with a few of my friends on this one bridge level that I hate because the brits just camp and arty everyone. I've been getting a lot better though, so it's been really fun.
I'm renting Burnout Paradise over gamefly and it's been really fun. I'm looking forward to playing it with some of my friends online though. I just love the way the cars crash in this game though, It looks great. I think this is a good step in the right direction for burnout, altough i miss the old crash mode.
Also I went back to Battlefield 2, the game that made me a PC gamer. It's been great. I haven't it for awhile and it's always fun to come back to.
And Crysis. Crysis looks very pretty. I also enjoy cutting down trees with my.
I'm just kidding I love the gameplay too, but not much to say about it. It's really fun though.
Ok so that was my first Games I've Gamed this week. I hope you enjoyed it. Check back next week!

So last week was Spring break and I got a lot of gaming in. I played a good bit of WoW, some Company of Heroes, replayed Portal, played some BF2, and I had a "Rock Band Party" with some of my friends. None of them were gamers either, and two were girls that look at games as a waste of time or something only "losers that have no friends do", a common stereotype, anyway they all enjoyed the game. We also played the portal ending song, and they, not being gamers, had no idea what it was but thought it was hilarious and they really had a lot of fun playing it. I just think it's cool that someone's opinion can change after they try something out.
I also purchased Resident Evil 4 on the Wii today and it's been really fun. I never played the original Resident Evil 4. It really uses the Wii controls in great ways. I can't say much about that right now though cause I'm only about an hour into it.
Some games I'm really hyped about are Fallout 3 and Left 4 Dead. Those games look like they're going to be great and I think I'm going to have to buy left 4 dead on the PC and 360. The reason being a few of my friends are looking forward to the game but are more of console gamers. I also want the PC version because it's faster than the console version and of course has the amazing keyboard and mouse controls. I'm also looking forward to STALKER: Clear Sky but I haven't heard much information on that.

So GFW Magazing is shutting down. GFW is my favorite magazine and I'm very sad to hear this news. Good thing is the podcast will still be going and they'll be posting articles online, but it's just not the same as print. I enjoy having a magazine in my hand that is organized and that I can just read wherever I want. So yeah I'm pretty disapointed. Each magazine was getting better and better. We'll anyway I'm glad they'll still be on the internet.

I'm sorry but that Condemned video review was not very good. I didn't figure out anything more about the game. It was like an advertisement with a score attacthed. Yeah so dissapointing I hope I don't see another one like that on GameSpot.
