So, a few days ago, one of my friends introduced me to an amazing game known as Toribash. The basic concept of the game (for those of you that haven't heard of it) is you coordinate different body parts in such a way that you can basically defeat your opponent. Pretty simple right? Thankfully, no. With a bit of imagination, and a load of practice, this game allows you to destroy your opponent (whether it's the free play bot or a real person) in a whole variety of manners, such as

The Body Breaker Type 1

The Double Head Removal

The Body Breaker Type 2

And a large host of other absolutely epic techniques and combos. Played well, you can tear your opponent limb from limb, destroy his body with 1 blow or play soccer with his head. If not played so well, you can still whack your opponent around a bit, or maybe break one of his limbs.

If you want to see what other levels of pure awesomeness are achievable in this game, i suggest watching www.youtube.com/watch?v=LFPdk_2_PC4. A great compilation of extraordinary possibilities in Toribash.

On a side note, I've also started playing Pockie Ninja. Amazingly addictive game, and perfect for just passing the time while you're waiting for something to happen. If you're bored, try it out. You'll probably enjoy it.

And on that note, I'd like to wish all you guys out there bored enough to read this Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year. Wish I could say the same goes for me, but I have exams over the next 2 weeks, so I'll be studying on new year's eve while my friends are busy getting stoned.

Yes, not really exceptional, but still. With just 2 rounds to go in the Greatest Game Sidekick Contest, I am currently ranked 976 out of approximately 24,500 people who decided to make a bracket. I know it's slightly lame to be happy about something like that, but still, I'm happy nonetheless. Hopefully, in the next 2 rounds, I'm still able to stay in the top 2500 or so. XD

Well, it's been a few months since I logged in last. And WOW, there have been a loooooooot of changes made to the site. Nice new site, with new stuff, etc etc etc. Now, where have I been for the past 4 months, you ask? Why, off pursuing my own dreams and adventures of course. A quick rundown of my activites follows :

1.Turned 19

2.Went to Italy for 2 weeks

3.Restarted college

4.Ran away from my hostel

5.Slept on the streets

6.Smoked pot a few times

7. Got so badly smashed I woke up 2 days later with a huge hangover and all my friends cracking jokes about what I did

8.Levelled up my Rift characters

9.And a good many other fun things that I don't wish to state

Needless to say, it's been fun. But sadly, my time is up. College starts again in just a few short weeks, and I still need to finish Assassin's Creed Brotherhood. But whatever, all good things come to an end right? And hopefully, this year turns out to be better, unlike the fiasco that I like to call "Last Year".

Anyways, until next time loyal servants.

For those of you who thought that I had disappeared into the darkness of the oblivion, I'm sorry to disappoint, but I'm still very much alive and present on this plane of existence. And man, has it been a long time since I logged in. GS got a complete makeover while I was gone. Not sure if thats a good thing or a bad thing.

Anyway, the main point here is that I'm back, and now with no more exams and tests and last minute assignments and projects and whatever else I had to deal with during my college year, I expect I'll be online a lot more.

And now that I'm done typing out this entry, it's time for me to go back to my manga and my short stories. However, stay tuned folks, 'cuz I'll probably be back real soon. And I have to say, it's good to be back.

Until next time scrubs :P

2 days to go till the launch of the final beta phase for Rift, and I found out that I got my invite about 4 hours ago. Great!! Now all I need to do is download the new beta server update.................oh, wait, that's gonna take way too long. And I mean about 36 hours!!!!!!!!!! Why internet, why do you do this to me??? 2 days before beta 7, and it still takes 36 hours. Please, for the love of god, DON'T FLUCTUATE!!!!!! Otherwise, I'll be forced to restart the download AGAIN!!!! LIKE LAST TIME!!!!! :(

Anyway, 2 more days till the biggest Rift beta event ever. And after that, about a week till the official release. As I've said before, this year is looking great.

1 more day till phase 7 beta invites start getting sent out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And 3 days till phase 7 begins!!!!!!!! I'm getting really really impatient. XD

Well, it's been about 48 hours since the 6th beta phase of Rift came to a close. Which means that by now, all the beta forums will be closed to. Meaning that the countdown to the start of the final beta phase has now officially begun. The time now is approximately 11am on Feb 9th, which means that there's only 5 days and 23 hours left till beta 7, which starts on Feb 15h. Of course, if we're counting the days till the invites start getting sent out, then it's about 3 days and 23 hours. But man, I can really feel the pressure.

Daily updates will be taking place from now till Feb 15th.

Wish me luck guys!!!

PS-Still got a bit of writers block. Anyone know any good remedies???

I just finished signing up for the Rift Beta Test. And the next phase starts in 5 days!!!!!!!! Argh, waiting for that long is gonna be agony. Hopefully, I'll get into the final phase as well. But the next 5 days are going to pure torture. Wish me luck guys, I'm gonna need it.

Yes, it's that time of year again. The Video Game Awards 2010 have come to town. Of course, seeing as the actual even got over more than a month ago, I'm kinda ticked off, but still, at least I don't have to wait for it to buffer on youtube. :P And although I know results already, I'm still looking forward to them, mainly for the previews of the new games coming out this year. :D So yeah, it's gonna be a big night for me, and I have to get ready appropriately. Have a lot of popcorn and soda to buy, and a long battle with my sister for control of the TV remote.

PS-Having writer's block. Any suggestions as to what I should do???

Ollo guys, and a very happy new year to you all. Yes, I know it's come a bit late, but still, it's the thought that counts right??? Okay, maybe not. But still, there's a lot to look forward to this year right??? Like Dragon Age 2, de Blob 2, Dissidia 012 Duodecim, Birth by Sleep (in english that is), Homefront, Arcana Heart 3, Crysis 2, and quite a few others. So that gives me about 4-5 reasons for the year ahead to be not too bad. And hopefully, my decision to change courses in college goes down well with my parents (even though i must expect the worst). So yeah, thats basically it. Again, hope all you guys have a great year ahead.
