Jami/Sighness

Yay, Summer! There's only a few problems. Bee's, I can't stand buzzy things. And the Bird that decides to make a nest RIGHT OUTSIDE my door! It kind of sucks. A whole lot. Every time I walk by, the bastard flies right in front of me or freaks me out cause it is random. Every. Time. I want to remove the nest, but that's disturbing someone's home and I don't want to kill any Babies Or Eggs. I kind of have a bad experience with Bird's Nests. Poor souls =(

So, About life. It's pretty sweel. I'm trying to learn things but it doesn't seem to be happening very well. For instance, my XSI crack died. Who'd of thought Two Cracks would kick eachother out? I for sure didn't know. Maybe I did something wrong, maybe I did something very wrong. Point is, I need a new crack to undo the crack's that butt head's incorrectly. I ahven't animated for what seems to be 5 months. That's...dumb. And my reason of not doing it? Well, I keep forgetting my Drive. And when I do bring it, I either leave it there, or forget to ask them to put it on. And one time...it WAS put on but saved in the wrong location. Wrong Location = Outside my drive >_<. Today. I swear, TODAY I will get it! Then I can finally do some Animations, that's not to say I could've been drawing in my much spare time. But without being able to do that properly, it sort of sucks. It's like I need to re-laern from step one how to draw again. Kind of bad =/ Though I think it's just me on how I see things that messes up my drawing's. I personally don't know what my problem is. I'll sort it out when I decide to stop doodling on Yellow sticky notes.

As for work, I'm working at the Mac's station. It's pretty cool, working and no one has uttered a comment since. Which is a relief but then again some people I talk to are pretty annoying to begin with anyway =) I'm saving money as much as I can, limiting outings and geting some purchases out of the way from Ebay cause...Gawd, those were on my mind for ages. Nice to let that go. And I shall be paying back Student Loans soon. July 31st, my first payment goes out for roughly 280 per month. Of the money I make till December, I shall see how long that goes. After December, I'm HOPING I can get enough practice in to start getting myself out there but I'm not sure. Can I practice enough and get the handle on Animating in 3D within 6 months? I'm willing to do everything I can till then, but it seems like a farfetched goal. However,. I do believe in believing, so the only thing that can let me down is mysef. Or the license I get. =p

I decided to hit the Gym the other day, and to my surprise I'm not as bad as I thought. I thoguht I'd suck. Hardcore, the idea of  Jogging sessions with my friends at the Household wa s abust. I can never go with them, as their schedule's random =(. I hit the Local Gym and pretty much want to go through the path of Endurance. I want speed and flexbility really. It'd be cool if I can do flips and cartwheel's and somersaults. And Evasive maneauver's, and dodge roll's, and running up wall's like a Ninja, or slowing down time and critically kicking people's faces in, or teleporting...Dragonball Z style, Okay, that's all a Joke, but seriously. I'd like to run fast, or have a good chunk of Stamina. That'd be kickass. I used a Treadmill and a bike and went 20 mins straight altogether on them. Power Walked, and Bike on mode 15/30 which I thought was alright for a first time in ages of that sort of 'work out'. I'd love to do that mroe often, and some Leg presses and some arm build. I'll see what happens. I have some euqipment at home too so...if I use that, I could save more however if I go to a Gym, I have everything I need right there. Ah well, I shall see what happens =D

So, aside from that stuff. I've also bene Gaming. Gaming here and there, it's pretty fun. I've rcently, and by recently I mean the past couple months, have bought new games and would like to summerise them all but I haven't beaten them all. Off the top of my head, I can give a mini review of what I think of each.

Bioshock - For some reason, this' on top of my head. So, Bioshock. I boguht this because it was 30 bucks new, but it has a stupid greay border around it that has to display twice, once in french and English, that it's apparently a Platinum Hit. I would never of figured it out. Anyway, the game is pretty fun. However I can say it gets rather reptitive and can get slightly boring. Only fun thing to do is run around and explore everything while killing everyone with your wrench or shotgun. I liked taking Pictures because I like maxing stats, but that ended as after I took a picture of literally everything to the point I can't take a picture of the same specimen anymore, I simply shocked them to death or threw stuff at them with my telekinesis. You can ltierally get through the entire game with a Wrench if you buy just upgrades for your wrench, and harvest every little sister to get the points needed to buy everything all at once. But I like saving people, so I got much less but bought what was needed. A lot of the stuff in the game is...pretty much useless. All you need are explosives for the Roses/Big Dady's and whatnot, and a Shotgun for every regular enem,y. Less you have a good wrench which drains people's health and upon impact send out an electric current around you. I stuck with the beginning basic set up until near the end, when I saw I could get upgrades of the version. I beat the Game on Normal, and the ending was awesome. It lasted 10 seconds. It was an alright game, the twist in the game was pretty good. And I feel happy I saved all the little Girl's and died. Whoops.

No more Heroes - Now, Suda51 sadly didn't get much from this game. It's a pretty fun game, I will admit. The Main character is pretty perverted, and it justifies the means at how he recharges his battery =p. The game's premise is you wnating to get to the top of the Assassin's list I believe it was. You have to do odd jobs, like collecting coconuts to unlock misisons where you kill people. How that works, I don't know. Literally collect coconuts, then the next mission it fend off as many guys as you can. The game works well, his special moves consist of Ice cream Sundae's and I can safely say this is a good game for the Wii. Looks nice, an oen world to run around in...or Bike around because who walks? And I can't figure out how to do anythign with ym money aside from paying a Loan to go to the next Mission. Then again, I'm only on the second assassination. I keep dying with a fail of a button press >_<;

Sonic Unleashed - So I gave a review of this back in teh day, I know. It's just so awesome, I have to bring it up again. I downloaded all the downloadable content and it is awesome. That is all. Lack of Unleashed disturbs me.

Mirror's Edge - Now, I've bene itnerested in this game ever since it came out. I decided to buy it after it dropped to 20 bucks and...it's alright. It's definetly something to get used to. Now, I'm not having trouble with any mechanic's whatsoever, and I'm not dumb to realise where I have to go *Looks at people who can never figure out where to go* It's just...jumping and grabbing onto things, such as poles you have to swing off of. not climb up or anything, to swing off of to another pole. I don't know what it isbut it seems I can never land these, or rather..swing these properly. I jump to go get one, and I either miss it, or go through it. I've been told I have to aim at the base of it, base meaning where it starts from. So...if it's jarring out of a building, I have to get coser to the building to grab it, not so much in the middle. I haven't gotten too far, as I stoppe dplaying at that above segment which is about the time I have to chase someone who knocks himself out. So useless =)

Lost Oddyssy - Now, I only got this because it was 30 bucks new. (Seeing a trend here, of sorts? =p). I was very very skeptical of this because it was a Mistwalker game. Blue Dragon was horrible in my opinion, despised it to bits. This game is surprisingly a lot better. I'm impressed with the Voice Over's in this game too, espeically cause I recognise some. Well, Cooke's voice anyway. Sounds like Lil from Rugrat's. That show kicked ass. Then they decide to do 'All Grown Up' and well..I don't see that show living very long. What happened to it? Anyway, the battle's fair nice. Can get annoying sometime,s like how Mage's are absoultly useless when it comes to attacking. And they get a lot less MP then usually would from other games. But it's ok, it's supposed to be a tad tougher then usual. Haven't Game Over'd yet aside from a cheap death when a worm decided to Ultra attack me as soon as I killed another. Ya, kinda dumb >_>; Anyway, I'm on and off with this game so....I'll probably keep playing this till I finish it anyway.

Resident Evil 4 - So, I own two copies of this now. A PS2 version, brand new with the collection and the GC version which I bought off a friend. I'm at a castle currently, haven't played it since. But I think I got past that and I had a branch of going two ways. I picked one, got into a battle and Ashley got kidnapped by the infected. Kinda sucks, didn't go back to it yet but I should. Playing this reminds me of a lot of what resi Evil 5 is. Pretty much the same game, but Inventory is chaged and instead of Ashley you have Sheva. I still don't get how this game is praised while Resi Evil 5 is hated on. Oh well, people are dumb. And I do see differences in both Resi Evil 4 and 5. They're not all that the same as people make it out to be. There wa sa similar Gigante battle, but not by a whole lot. And there was a Truck scene. Yay.  Anyway, i have yet to play Resi Evil 2/3/Veronica, and play more of 0. I'll get those as soon as I play and finish 2/3 whenever the order comes in.

Devil May Cry 3 - Now, I'm supposed to have finished this ages ago. I finished 1 which was awesome, finished 2 which made me cry at how bad it really was, and 3...is...so...different. I mean, I love the game. It's just the Cinematics and the things that Dante does which is so 'Bad Ass'. I can't tell if i should be 'Wow'd' at what he did, or just straight up laugh at what's going on. I mean, here's an example. You can be awesome, or go over the top. A chic fires a rocket at Dante. Dante doesn't side step it or blow it up, no he RIDES the missile with his amazingness and jumps off before it make scontact. Keep in mind he did do a couple barrel rolls and a nice full sweep of the room. but I was all 'what?' the first time, and laughed the second. Don't get me wrong, it's pretty awesome he does these things with his characteristic nature but damn...It's just insanely funny. I also love the scene when he kills a Vampire Lady and gets a Scythe...which become s aGuitar. I saw this coming when well..the battle room, her side of the room was a stage. and speakers. He ain't gonna play Drums or Vocals so...Guitar was definetly seen XD. Fun game though, have to finish it.

Spider Man 3 - So, I was pretty curious at why people don't like this game. Or do like it. I could be thinking of the Movie, but anyway this game blows in my opinion. Long story short, i got this for 5 bucks at Future shop, saved 5 on it because it was originally 10. Everyone auto blocks in this game, it's retarded. Can only win the game with one combo. And that's slowing time down with your spidey senses, walking around someone and smacking them for a tick of health. or dodge thir attack and get a full Combo special in there. It's rediculous. And I get touched by something, and whoops. The almighty spider man apparently can't take a stop sign to the face. let alone take the guy down using one XD. Web's are useless less it's standard enemies, and I ahve seen people, Yes...I ahve seen people, jump as high as SPider man (Regular Gang members) and cut my webs down and actually smack me around up there. I also think teh hit detection's off. People have hit my web and damaged me. I know in the movies, the web's literally come out of his vien in his wrists but that's rediculous. All in all, Treyarch touched it. And Killed it because it's what TreyArch does. TreyArch to me, is the LJN of the Nerd. Balls. Really shed's a tear to my eye ;_;

I also recently downloaded Sonic the Hedgehog 3, Comix Zone, and Gunstar Heroes to my 360. I beat and 100% Gunstar/Sonic 3 and have yet to get into Comix Zone. I will eventually, just gotta stop buying games or going to work, or going out to do stuff.

Aside from all that, not sure what else I can talk about. Basically I'm just relaxing at home, playing games with friends online, hanging out and working. Pretty nice. Till next update, laters!

It's Friday, and I'm at home and not at Work, because I'm not on today. Which is cool, cause I have Friday temporarily off for now! =) And what makes today even greater, is dinner. Friday Night is Pizza Night and I love Pizza, and Friday Night. So Friday Night Pizza is amazingly the most amazing thing I can look forward to every week. My Mom's homemade pizza is the best, in my opinion. But that's just me, and about every other person out there. Their mom makes the best food, and I guess it sticks till they learn to make their own.

So, I got paid the other day and am finally glad I can slowly begin supporting myself, as dependent as I am, in my parent's house. They always tell me 'I'll always have a home to go to', which is pretty freakin' sweet. Too bad people see it as a negative thing. Oh well. Maybe some parent's never want their kid's back? =p Tough Love. And I'm saving as much as I can, trying to go out as little as possible as to not have to spend about 15 bucks per outing. I also finally paid back Sumeet, so I'm glad I don't have to worry about that anymore! =D Learning from mistakes is a good time indeed.

It's always fun to hang out with people, especially those who you never get to hang out solo with. For instance, I have a friend named Ben and when we hang out, it's usually with a gorup of people. Never get to know him much for myself, so Last Saturday when i went by, Harrison needed to record his FurryCast so Ben and I decided we'd hang and game. Now, I never knew the type of gamer Ben was, but it's pretty cool we have some distinct likes. Like Resi Evil, and RPG's in general. Finally, someone else who plays RPG's! Though he likes MMO's, it's ok. Since he tends to try them and leave them later which is AWESOME! I wa salso glad to see he had bought Sonic Unleashed, apparently it dropped in price. I'm all for it! We played that but I noticed a pattern, an idea shift ti play something else. Which is alright, it wasn't an outright 'You're beating it' but more so a nice, kind gesture of 'Hey, let's play something we both are new to?' and i was all 'Kay!'. And it felt great, I wasn't bashed or anything. And he still wanted to game with me, so I was glad. Extremely! We hit persona 4. He got into it before, but me being new, it was rather more fun then I expected. When i first saw wind of this, it seemed to take a year to get into the game. But I didn't mind, just wished I could end some people's lives. But I couldn't, so I sat through the Voice Overs. Which aren't bad at all, just a couple were annoying and I hope to never see them again. But more than likely, I will have to. For a PS2 game released a while back, it sure holds up nicely. And again, I'm not into graphics but the game itself so...it played nice too. It's a traditional RPG, take turns to attack and the likes. Met a cool Panda, and the storyline was sucking me in too. It was nicely played. Hope Round 2 is just as fun! We even have our own jokes to go with it. I could explain the whole idea, but I'll do that later in a chunky summary some other time =) Anyway, it's nice to know I have another RPG'er around, and someone in the Resi Evil games =)

I wonder...will he go back and play the Classics with me...?

Aside from that, Summerland seems to be having some troubles. I haven't heard from Vishal for ahwile, kind of worried about him. Sumeet and I have been hanging around quite a bit, we're usually driving around and browsing Wal-Mart or hitting some movies.We hit the Fair a week ago, it was pretty boring. Vishal's words saying how it'd be amazing and awesome, well...it sure wasn't =p. We also went to go see Earth, the Disney Nature Movie. It was awesome. Penguions had no slot, aside from a quick intro and suddenly, Oh My Gawd, they're amazing. Moving on. The movie was pretty cool, got to learn about the hardships of Bears in the Arctic, Whales, Male Birds, and other neat creatures, like Elephants. It's really fun, and I'm glad I helped plant a tree.

Odd, I have other things to add but just don't feel like it. I'm too bored! >_>; I'll finish this in another update later, when i feel like spilling things everywhere!

Till then, later =)

TOO BAD I CAN'T GET TO A BANK! >=(

I get get a GST Cheque and when I need it the most, the bank's close the entire weekend. That's balls. Mean Balls. Aside form that, a few things I'd like to share today. The Easter Weekend, and all its worth. Some Movies I've watched lately, Games I've played recently, and some friends I've caught up with. This is Jami, and you're reading 'Jami's Blog!'

First, I'd like to note the Easter Weekend. It's nice to take a few days off School, if I was in one =/. It's also nice to take a couple days off work, if I had a Job! Oh wait... That's right! I finally landed myself a Job at my local Mac's Gas Bar! Thanks to my friend SUmeet, and his Mom who owns the place, I was able to get in and begin the life of Retail. Now, keep in mind my College 'Edutcation' didn't get me here. Hell, it hasn't landed me anywhere yet and it's not because of them either, it's more so myself where I haven't tried to use what I've 'learnt' outside the place. That's a lie, I've tried but XSI 6.0 keeps crashing for some reason. Maybe I hit a glitch everytime? Who knows, I keep forgetting to get an update from ym friends. I'll do that next I meet them. For sure this time. For sure. Now, as for Mac's...It's pretty tough. It's fast paced, dealing with multiple customers at once during the day, luckily I have my friend's mom there with me to tell me what to do. I'm usually Stocking and taking care of Till when she's making her rounds. I have 1 Graveyard shift on Sunday's, and Sumeet's offered to stay with me till the time no one comes by each Sunday which is really cool of him! =). I'm still learning the in's and out's of the Till as I happen to make a mistake at times whenever I get an edgy Customer. Or when I've bene told I made a mistake, I tighten up a bit. I feel like my brain stops functioning after searching through all the data I've obtained from my training and grind to a halt and waiting for a reboot. It feels great when I'm on the flow and doing things right, but the second the slip up happens, I have to stop and think quickly. It's great though, I have to stay on my toes but I think to myself 'Can I really handle this on my own? Was this the right choice for me?'. I'll have to see how long I can stay there. I hope I can stay there till at the least Winter. Where I can Hybernate- I mean work on my Demo reel on Down Time and get my Reel out in Spring. Though I'm also thinking of Upgrading, or in my terms..Re-Learning since I was completely out of it during the 'Learning' times. Pretty frustrating, I still suck at drawing cause I never practiced after I left. Too bitter and Hybernation was what I had in mind. Had a nice beard at times though.

Now that people can piss off with their 'Get a Job' remarks, which by the way never helped to begin with and was just plain annoying to the point I'd rather not hang out with you anymore, I can finally say I'm earning a tad cash on the side. That doesn't mean I'll be moving out anytime soon, I like this house I live in.

So, as of late, I've watched quite a few movies. Now, keep in mind I don't have much to go on so sadly...I've watched some online =/

I watched the 'Wolverine Origins' movie online, 'Dragonball Evolution' Online, and watched 'Fast and Furious' online. What I watched in theatres was Monsters vs Aliens in TRUE 3D! and I will say all movies were enjoyable to say the leats in their own ways. I won't spoil anything, but I'll give a quick idea on what I thoguth about each.

Wolverine Origins - A really cool movie, shows everything on Jimmy and his brother ebfore they were caught up in their Duel's and before X-Men, Hell just BEFORE the whole incident that happened at the labs Wolverine got his 'upgrade' from. It was a really good movie, and they hit it nicely. The characters thrown into the movie made sense, and it's nice to see how Sabretooth became Sabretooth, and how Wolverine became Wolverine. The final battle was kind of cliche, and it can be seen coming a mile away but overall...it was great. Wolverine is an awesome character indeed.

Dragonball Evolution - This was just...funny bad. I like Goku's character, but about it. The rest is just laughable =)

Fast and Furious - This was a fun movie, the true sequel, in a sense, to Fast and Furious and 2 Fast 2 Furious (Which was horrible). YOu can say this continues very well, how they meet up and how the story takes place, and the ending made me smile big.

Monsters vs Aliens - The script was alright, I did enjoy the show as a whole. Loved everything about it but the whole 'True 3D' aspect...was just a random thing, really. The Ad before the movie showing off 'True 3D' had more Muffins in 3D then the entire move of Monsters Vs Aliens. Plus, I'd trick myself out of it. If you looked at the floating objects and followed them, they'd suddenly vanish or get cut off! =p. I know, it's the twhole trick thing, but while the entire theatre was all 'WHOOOAAA!', I just smiled and said 'Neat, muffin's.' and then didn't look into it a whole lot throughout. It was a neat effect but if the movie has nothign to really show on it, why bother? =p And the glasses actually did work, they didn't mess your eyes up. Lenses were curved nicely to the screen and was a nice treat. 3 bucks Add-On. I coulda bought some DLC with that! =o

As for playing games, I've only bene playing 1 recently and that's Resi Evil 5, still. I downloaded the new VS pack and it is fun, though can be annoying with people who don't want to communicate. It's Merc's but it can be either Solo, or Team, and of two gametypes. Kill Infected for more points than the others, or Kill the other players while avoiding Infected less you want some powerful stuff from the Special. It's quite fun but when you get HOst's or people quitting before you win,a nd you have a nice combo...it's gets rather annoying, because they do it so it doesn't count for leaderboards (But it actually does), and it messes with the achievement. Seriously, the Live community is so handi-capped, they should be 'Lemming'd' off a cliff. Let's fix the herd, shall we? (Not saying Handi-Capped people are bad! Saying people who are idiots on Live, are bad.).

I also retried Ha-. Hay-. Hlo. Hah. Loooo. Hay. Haylow. Hello. Again. I recall having morons on the community too, but whe every lobby consists of screamers? It's rediculous now. Also when you have a screamer sitting RIGHT. BESIDE. YOU. VISHAL. Sure, we won nearly every game. (Lost a couple because I could honestly care less, and there were hiccups here and there) but it was really boring. Highly doubt anyone could sruvive in a legit game of say...Oh...Call of Duty =p. Though they've alreayd ifnected that and it's Hay. Hello. All over again. Running and Gunning, no sense of smarts and Grenades. everywhere. 3x Frag's with Sonic Boom. Congrats, go fight a real war and fail hard! >=( And I haven't touched Left 4 Dead Multi in ages either. I think I'd only play that for Campaign, with friends. That's it. I've also bene playing Street Fighter IV on weekends with Ky, who kicks my ass nearly everytime. However...one conversation I've been told about plucked a nerve. >=) And so eventually, I'll practice in SFIV, using all Fireball wielding chaarcters and kick his ass. And make it like Brawl and whatever else we've played, ALL OVER AGAIN! Ya, I was killed but Now I must prove my worth, again. I'll practice it up, learn the moves again, strategise, and kill face. Be prepared...sometime in the future.

Aside from that, another Brawl Tourney is being held on May 2nd. Wish me the best! I have to train against a new rival I amde, a Returner! (Hells Ya, Bee! We're gonna make it to the Top! I better see you in the finals =)) and a possible member of the Kickass crew. Though I'm not sure if Snake's much a problem anymore, since Snake hates Link. But Lucario/Jiggly. Bee, you should test it out =) Anyway, I'm ot sure if we'll be capturing Footage this time around but I'll be sure to post the results!

Oh ya, I lent my GC controllers out. Damnit.

Anthony. Anthony Anthony Anthony. He FINALLY hung out with me! Or more so, I finally hung out with him. We went North to the City of K, where I was 'Educated' and evolved into what I am now. Someone by the name of 'Jami' and then some. We hung out a good 5 hours and he even bought me a Donut! 2 of 'em! Nice guy, we talked like nothing happened between us. Now the test is if we can start hanging out regularly. Aside form that, our good friend Hibby came down for the weekend. I only got to talk to him for a few minutes at work. Lucas showed me how to check for Oil in a car, and how to put the oil in and taking into measure how the whole procedure is about. Much appreciated. I am interested in Cars now, believe it or not. I would like to learn the in's and out's of a vehicle just because I think it'd be fun to fix something, or even build one. I was going to meet up with them but lack of Gasoline, and the likes net me nowhere. I'm going to catch him today, hopefully. I must show him the Resi Evil 5 of amazing. He'll be here till monday I believe, so I don't have much time left!

I'm also on the Hunt for the resi Evil Classics. Now, I'm tlaking Canon here, not random's or spin off's. Although some could be canon in their own right, like Gaiden but I want the Main Arc's. I have resi Evil Director's Cut, and beat it on Normal with Jill. I will do Chris' but I'd rather play it again with someone else, or get the REmake on GC, and 0 (Which i can't find in any Bargain Bin now, what Balls!) and I can easily find 2/3/4 on the Ebay sites. Though one problem. I can find Code Veronica, but it'd be a PS2 verison and I'm after al the Wii/GC versions. I like to keep all of one franchise on one console, though it broke for Sonic, somewhat, but I'd like to keep the Resi Evil's on the Nintendo Platforms, less I can only get it on another which'll be 360 (Like Resi Evil 5). I can find 2/3 on GC, and 4 for the Wii easily 20 bucks a piece. REmake and 0, I have to wait till they're 'Fixed' for the Wii later in the year. Which is fine but then I should buy 2/3/4 and not play them, I suppose. Howver Code Veronica X on the GC is rediculous. I can only find a copy or two and the nut's selling it for 200 bucks. This is what happens when enteringa series later in life, miss out on the proper pricing's >_<; Oh well, I will have the Mainstream ones and play through the entire story. It'll be grand.

Aside from that, I have nothing else to really say. I'm working now, in a hectic environment, people aren't bothering me anymore which is a nice feeling, I'm still thinking of idea's for Gaming and not Docing them for some reason anymore, crying at XSI 6 and want an upgrade soon, and not gaming as much as I would like to. I'm sad Saturday Morning cartoons are replaced with ass. =/ Anyway, thoguht I'd update, and see you guys all later!

Alright, so I seemed to have broken the habit of blogging altogether, kind of sucks because I liked blogging. Then again, I usually had something to talk about. I honestly can't recall who all read this to begin with for laughs and chuckles, so I'll see what happens. Anyway, the past 2 month's have been alright. I'm still jobless, still gaming, however I have more annoyances then ever.

First, I'll start off by saying I have finished school. Would like to elaborate on this, but I'm not going to. I'd rather not think about it at all, I'm done. That's all. If for some reason the forces of nature are against me and I technically haven't finished, I could care less. I'm done with it.

As for personal life, it's getting rather irritating to a point I want to cut connections with some people. Yes, I've been jobless for a good rough since Sept 22, '07 to now, but really....I don't need everyone and their Dog telling me to get out there and get a part/full time job. I tried relentlessly, and was rejected everywhere and gave up because I had a terrible mindset plague me. I let it go later and made jokes on it, but apparently that just caused drama I wish I could do without. It's my fault for thinking I can make fun of it, but telling me what to do isn't helping. Especially because it's common sense, I finally got around to takng another shot and applied at places I wouldn't think I'd get a job at anyway and avoided the Wal-Mart this time. Anyway, it's getting rather annoying for people to bring me out to hang, then smash me with 'Get a job, you ass' and all those kind of hits. Then decide to fill me with thoughts of rumours about me and the likes and silly guesses as to 'You'll live in your basement forever! With your parents!'. That's not going to happen. I'm also not a free loader, or rather don't choose to be. I feel terrible being dependant again. felt terrible ever since, but when I'm not doing anything with it anyway, no one can really complain. Especially when I'm not being a Hinderence, wish it could be understood. Anyway, I'd go on and on about this but rather not. This should be the gist of it, and I'll keep it at that. I'll end this off with saying if anyone wants to remind me and call me out, you can literally piss off. I'm getting tired of it.

On a brighter side, Anthony has accepted my Friend Request on live! We don't Private/Party chat anymore, but if I'm playing Left 4 Dead with him, he'll speak up if someone is in the party aside from myself. I'm still not liked that much, either he's being 'Anthony' or I'm still haunting with my last comment! =p Usually, he's been playing Left 4 Dead with Nathan and Lucas. I'm usually missing out on the sessions, but whenever I join...... It's my fault if we ever lose! =(. So, after getting everyone leaving on me by making a mistake, I decide to play my own games with the AI! Not....fun. I still can't chat to him VIA MSN either >_<;

Alright, so aside from that, Gaming. Once again, I traded in a good chunk of games to get some newer ones. I came out with 'Left 4 Dead', 'Street Fighter IV', and 'Resident Evil 5 (Collecter's Edition)', and borrowing 'Infinite Undiscovery'. I got Left 4 dead for 2 bucks after trading in about 4 games, SFIV for about 3 bucks after trading in 4 games, got Resi Evil 5 CE for 40 bucks after trading in 2 games (Which doesn't mean I spent 100 on it, so stop spreading lies), and borrowed Infinite Undiscovery off my friend, Ben!

Left 4 Dead - I really enjoy this game! Zombies running at you, high speeds and it's just a Genocide of people of all kinds. It's pretty fun exploding heads! There isn't a storyline for this, but who'd need one? We know that something happened,  weeks later some have evolved, and now we just want to get the Hell out of there. This game is an 'Action-Survival' game. Reason is because it plays exactly like any other FPS, and the goal is to get to the next Safe House, and eventually a Finale where hordes of enemies come at you while you defend yourselves before the rescue vehicle comes. Very fun, and strategy is a must. 4 players can take the lead roles of the survivors, An old War Vet,  a cocky motorbiker guy, an IT man, and a college girl who loves watching Zombie movies. The enemies throughout the game consist of not only zombies, but special infected. These guys can be played by players in Versus to halt the survivors from getting to the safe room. Anyway, the 'Special' consist of 3 types. The first is a Smoker. He's the tall, lanky guy with funugs floating around him. I thought they were moth's flying around him but it's really just green pollen. His special ability is to use his tounge and grab people a good 100 or so feet away and drag them to him where he can begin attacking them with no one around. Crafty bastard, and LOVES aiming for me everytime. I swear he's got the radar against me! The next type is the Hunter. He's wearing a hood and shorts. The athletic type, so to say. This guy leaps around and jumps on people and begins scratching them to death. He can easily be knocked off in the air and from the ground, but their yelling is fun. He can also wall kick and jump really high. The last type is the boomer. He's a jolly, fat guy who likes to barf on people because it attracts hordes of zombies. It's also funny when you shoot him, he'll lay his last surprise of blowing up and well...puke on you again! The next is a playable under random encounters. It's a Tank. This guy is like..a Bodybuilder with a huge upper body, and his wasit down is that of an average person. He'll run at you, with awesome music, and smack you and send you flying! He'll also throw Vehicles and garbage bins at you. It's really fun. The last type is a non playable, hardcore infected. The Witch. She sits and cries and sits in your path, she looks kind of Pink and emits pink. When you get close to her, she'll get angry and if you still sit close to her or shine your light, she'll run at you mercilessly, smack you, and down you. It's fun killing them in one shot =)

Now, the only GRIPE I have with this game are the AI Allies. They never want to do anything right, I wish I was able to give them the command of 'Come here!' or 'Stay there!' sort of deal. ALl they do is sit still and shoot at a Tank, walk up to a Witch and sit there and startle her, and when hordes of zombies come by, they'll run out at them. Basically, you can imagine how much I play this game attempting feats with AI on my team. Answer is never. I've had enough of them and would rather have all playable players with me. I still love this game, I have 3 Regulars I play with. (Anthony/Nathan/Lucas) so it's all good.

Street Fighter IV - Now, reaosn I bought this game was because I like Street Fighter, and then suck horribly at it right now. I can't even main my usual mains anymore, makes sense as it's been years but I was never sure if I could take on any Players anyway. I always fought close combat and used SPecials to get near people, and would nver chain grab. Holy crap, that's annoying. Anyway, after hearing Ky buying it and obsessing over it tons, and not havig any money because I was abandoned on the whole console thing, I was forced to sell more games I didn't like, or would never touch again. So with that, I bought SFIV a good month or so later after Ky had gotten a lot of practice in. I enjoyed playing a lot against AI, but when going online to play with people...it's like everyone knows only one combo and move, and always a Shoyruken! XD A Shoyruken is an uppercut of amazing ability that nothing can get through, not even a block at times. Don't even bother going near a downed Shoyruken styled player (Which is literally half the roster. Okay, a quarter or third =p). The second they go down, they'll spam a Shoyruken, I always get hit by it, I have attacked it by accident, and I think it's odd how that thing is invincible less I have a character that can throw a Hadouken up there! XD Air grabs, out of the question. I'm a lot better than what i used ot be, but finding a Strat in that game is damn near imposisble as it's only a couple strats possible. SPam projectile attacks to get chip damage, or get near someone to Invincibiliibly own someone follwoed by chain grabs if the other guy has no projectiles. XD. Sometimes, I just can't see skill in this game. I'm tryign to bets people with Cammy, but then using my moves, apparently I'ma  spammer >_>. Spammy Cammy is what i called my friend who kept using 1 move on me the entire time! >_>; Ya, I've only played this game 4 times, probably a few hours each and haven't touched it since. There's a SFIV tourney I'm hosting this Saturday but it's weird. I won't be participating! XD I will however also help out with interviews this time, this'll be fun. If Ky and I are still going to do something like that.

Inifinite Undiscovery - This is a Square Enix title, and I personally dind't like it much. The battle's are decent, but the story and characters didn't make it for me. Actually, literally every chaarcter sucked aside from the Main and that's because he goes emo for awhile which was funny! XD Anyway, you get about 15 chaarcters in the game. They all come out of absoultely nowhere, and are all completely useless. Plus the fact you can't use half of them anyway cause they're 'Guest Characters', so what's the point? I ust rock the same 4 people I had since the beginning of the game. Really pointles,s won't eveng et into this game much because I couldn't care much for it =p. I wonder how Last Remnant is? I also need to try Lost Oddyssy again.Then again, i'd rather get Tale sof Vesparia.

Resident Evil 5 - I've bene talking about this game for monthes. I played the Demo daily, multiple times waiting this game. It was THAT awesome. So imagine me the day it was released. I'm pretty damn happy, espeically when others in the 'Colleague household' got it too! I knew Ben woudl get it, Peter jumped on the bandwagon and Ky, hating the ever shit out of it, buys it too! XD I'm glad, I had nothing to do with it, but glad they got it. Though I wonder if they actually care for Resi Evil as a whole though. Hmm.

Anyway, I love this game. It is completely awesome and I play it whenever I can. The AI< I could care less what anyone else says, works fine for me and is awesome. She's always there by my side =) Probably cause I'm always by HER side. Possible hint. I beat the game on normal, and near done Veteran with some Co-Op in Chapter 3/4. I'm wnatign to finish it but keep getting side tracked for collecting BSAA emblems and getting the treausres I may've missed. It's just...too awesome, I love watching the cut scenes again and I deifnetly believe the game is awesome. Stopping and shooting exists because it's a Survival/ Horror, not 'Left 4 Dead'. The whole Horror comes from standing and shooting! And good aim! XD I love using the Dragonov, I get lots of headshots! It's awesome =D. Anyway, the storyline...is awesome,e specially ebcause I've learned it way back when, played Chonciles, got re-capped twice. Once from the main site, and again from Wiki. Then again form GameTrialers, and then again by reading the Library Doc! I love the franchise that much, I eve tried out resi Evil 3 last wekeend at Ky's. Holy crap that game was amazing! It made me Jump at the super gliding 'Nemesis'! He really IS a Nemesis! Just pops out of a window and starts yelling 'STAAARRRRSSSSSS!' and you think you enter a room quietly when...A ROCKET'S COMIN' AT YOUR FACE! IT ain't no cutscene! PRESS A! SHOOT HIM IN THE HEAD!

Ya, so Resi Evil 5. Awesome. It works. Shut up, whiners. Go play your Baby games like Halo or something =)

So, aside from gaming, there was a Brawl tourney last month. It was awesome, I made a new rival which is the only one I'm aiming to beat next time. We're tied at 1 - 1. I met a good chunk of new players and old players alike. We had some comeback after months of training, and a few new ones! I used Diddy which everyone moaned for but he got destroyed by a Lucario. Physical does not work well on a Magical, haha. Not in that case, anyway. I'll have another Diddy/Lucario Match sometime. But my Zelda beat his Lucario, however lost to his Jigglypuff! XD I was completely out of it too. Damnit. The score would be 2 - 1 for him but we just settled for 1 - 1 for now. Next time, it's gonna be a heated battle! Ky was also in charge of recording the interviews and such with people, alongside Doner. Well, the first bit was a gongshow. Not sure what was going on, but things settled afterwards. Though I'd of thought there's be Post-Match discussions but that never happened. Apparently, I had the best Interviews! =D We then did a Coke Chuggin' contest, and I bailed as I wa slast and saw someone throw up so it through me off. I'm not even sure if I'd make it because I grew anxious and butterfkies flew in my stomach when my turn was coming up. Ky said I coudl try again and regain my former glory, but not sure when that'll be happening. Maybe this week at the SFIV tourney? We also have all the footage we had made captured, so editing is in the process. Next, we'll try to record the SFIV tourney. Hopefully this'll go well in both stages!

So, my car Plum has bene snowed in ever since November. I've been driving Pearl since and now I have tog et her uninsured becaus eit's odd how Plum wa sstill insured to begin with standing out by the road in snow, and Pearl wa sinsured at the same time for God knows how long without anyone driving her. So it being costly, my dad and I will Uninsure Pearl, for now, and I'll be driving Plum making sure she's still alive, and try to sell her (=/) because my Dad wants to get money towards possibly selling Bruno to get a better vehicle for his transportation needs. We had this discussion about 'Money O.B.O' where Money is your amount, and I don't know. WHat can be a better offer than the money you ask for? As it's always haggled down so wouldn't it be 'Or worse Offer'? Anyway, after a dumb battle of whatever wits we could sum up, I just decided to stop quetsioning the idea and decided I'd say ' Around Money'. where Money is the ideal sum. That way, if I say 'around', it makes more sense to me so it can go a little less. O.B.O., I'm thinking equivielant to what I'm aksing in trades.

As fun as that was, This may eb a short blog but I'll attempt to blog as often as I can. Anthony never calls anymore, I'm going very Saturday to the 'Colleagues Household' and I'm hanging around Vishal/Sumeet on weekdays. Oh, I'll leave by ending with telling everyone I watched 'The Passion of Christ' or whatever that Christ movie was called. Mel Gibson'd one.

Now, before we watched the movie, Vishal ahd called that it would be about 2 hours of a guy getting beat. I thought ti was a joke. Who'd of thought he'd be right? It literally was 2 hours of a guy getting beat. Here's the Process:

Current. Flashback. Beat. Current. Flash Back. Beat. Slo-Mo for added affect. Current. Flashback. Beat. Beat again. Slo-Mo. Beat. Flashback. Sl-Mo back to beat.

I..honestly laughed at how he was 100% right. I must say, it was rather boring. I can't honestly see how poeple can love this movie and the likes as a Fave. Nothing happened. It was as much fun as watching Fight Night or something. Anyway, I dind't expect anyting going in aside from Jesus Christ was in it. I also don't know why so many Jews hated the movie. They can make their own adaptation of Christ getting beat, or whatever they want thrown in. I did't fall aslepe thorugh the movie though, but I was getting tired. Anyway, congrats to Mel Gibson, for making this movie an eyesore, and with that I shall leave and look for something to do.

Catch ya next Blog Post =)

It has been a long time since I've updated, whew. I can summarize a bit on what I've done in the past till now. A lot has happened but it's really only a few events.

First off, I'd like to say I was able to finish everything I had needed to finish at CATO. Now, I spouting off I Graduated from there but in real terms I honestly don't know what's going on. I haven't had word since December 21st and I know it wa sholidays and such btu I likely won't get word till end of January if I did in fact Pass with ym Demo Reel. I have passed my courses, but my Demo reel was an abysmal failure. I wanted it done and it has been finished. To my full extent? Not even close. I could begin pointing out what's wrong with it and why ti came to be but why bother? I'll be making Excuses, yet they'd be reasons to me so I could care less who'd like to listen. It all comes down to I simply didn't want to do it, and about it. I buckled down my last 2 weeks and finished that thing quickly, not Quality-ful as I had thought I could. I was a mess getting that thing doen when it came to the last day. Let's recap my entire term breifly here.

I go to school for Two weeks, and then a Landslide occurs on my everyday route. I can go around but it's snowing and my car would get destroyed let alone take HOURS to get there. I do what i can at home and contact ym school once ina while to see what's up. 3 weeks later, I go back and have the odd day unable to leave as my car can't get anywhere and my parents have the 4 Wheel Drive's. So i can't attend much there. Overall I missed about half this term and had a lot to catch up on. I managed to catch up on everything leaving my Demo reel, entirely of Animations and everything, to do within 2 weeks. We can subtract a day or two thanks to demotivations, if I can even use that word anymore, but it came down to the final day. I bought the wrong DVD's as I related DVD - and +'s to my everyday life and decided to go negative. Only to realise my PC is a Positive burning PC >_>; Racing to Kelowna to use Ky's Burner, I forget my Harddrive and after toruble shooting I finally hand the Disc's in but I'm half hour late. I miss the Instructor by 15 mins., 45 mins after the time decided to hand in to begin with. Anyway, I'm glad that's done with but too bad it wasn't in colour either. My dad failed to warn me there was no colour th day I was printing them and I have to time to go to a printing office either. Ah well, I apparently passsed the course, so yay?

And to end it off, everyone in the household got to see my Semo Reel thanks to Peter's 'sneaky' ways. Not that he was sneaky, I knew his plans and his step up before he even did anything. Too abd he's probably off showing it to everyone, I'd rather he not as my Rep would go down in the shitters. Not that I had much Rep anyway, the good kind. I just hope no eyes have seen it outside the house. It's sad how everyone took out their Cell' and started recording the reaction shots of eachother -____________-; I've taken the liberty of deleting the entire thing from my memory and starting anew. Fresh new idea, learning of making ym own Rig and set up so I can do this again from the ground up without anyone's guidance in idea's. Thatw as a killer since I had failed a course due to having it changed too much. It was redicuous the back and forth gone into it, Everything I had initially had at the beginning that was removed, was apparently a good idea to stick back in near the end. I had to bite my tongue the last 'meeting' I had with Crits. If I had said "I had that in there before' I'd get two responses. 'Ya right' or 'That's fasincating'. Basically a doubt on either side. Studying people helps me see things like this, why am I usually listening to convo's instead of engaging? Things like this.

Aside from CATO, I still got permission to work alongside the Head of Game to host Tourney's for the school. PC Bang fun and hopefully get more people since I wasn't able totattend the last one. I'm still gettign hits on the next Brawl Tourney, but I need intel from Peter/Ky about having it at their household since Peter likes tourney's at the house and everyone liking to go there for a Tourney. Since I don't live there, it's hard for me to ask if I can host it there time and time again. It's why I resort to giving slight hints by just bringing it up and 'wondering' where to host it, hoping someone chimes in. Quitr troublesome, this Winter isn't seeing great days for me.

Since I'm on about Gaming, I can tell way of a fun time I ahd trading in games at EB. Recall me buying all them 10 dollar games back in may/June? I made the funnest discovery of my life. I had been doing Internet research and thought about selling games I never wanted to look at agian, essentially those I had bought in May/June. I only kept a few. So I was able to sell them for double the price I had bought them for. One game net me 200% in profits! It was insane. So I bought Banjo Kazooie Nuts and Bolts, Gears of War 2, Naruto Broken Bond, and Sonic Unleashed. Anthony was not impressed and Lucas was laughing. I then later went back and sold some PS2 games I never wnated to play again. Mainly Crash Bandicoots Wrath and Twinsanity, Spyro Eternal and New Beginning and Star Ocean and.selling another 8 games I bought Fable II. I'll give a quick rundown on each game form ym personal experience:

Gears 2: I love the Campaign and can play it over and over with people. There were a few items I kept missing and when fogured out, I facepalmed. Good game but story was a bit...wtf at times. First you're killing then ehar of Dom's wife. Ok, cool. Forget her and then we're killing stuff and OMG 2 seconds of Maria agian. Alright....more killing and OMG THEY'RE GONNA SINK JACINTO! LET'S SAVE IT! Then Spoilers comes along (Highlight to reveal Magicry): We find HOLY CRAP MARIA'S around here! To finding her and killing her and crying. Then kill some more, then at last second 'LET'S SINK JACINTO! IT'S A RACE TO SINK IT!' and then we beat the game and get a '...WTF did you do, thinking of sinking JACINTO?!'
Fun Times.

Banjo Kazooie Nutz and Bolts: Ok, so I liked about an hour of this game. I liked traversing around the Hub World collecting Notes, about it. Checing out the other scenes were alright too but it comes down to the missions. Everything is ltierally the same, which is alright but when your vehicle touches something, you magnatise to it and literally drive into it...even when driving in the opposite direction. It's eye-cringing and trying to gain trophie's isn't as fun as it looks. 90% were done on my first try. Only a few had me going back for another attempt. And 3 of them ahd me going back about 10 times. It's challenging but sure there's creativity but when I played this game, creativity went out the window a couple hours in and I made simply, direct winning vehicles to obliterate the competition. It was mroe trial and error than fun with trial and error. I'm glad I Conquered Campaign but since no one goes online due to lack of blocks and equipment, no one was on for a week. I only finished it within a week as I had finished whatever I had done for the 'break of a landslide' and couldn't do anything till I hit school again.

Painful.

Banjo Kazooie - Alright, since I pre-oredered Nutz and Bolts, this download comes free. I can play it 2 weeks before anyone else. And I did thinking 'WOW this game will be amazing like when I was a kid!'. And it sure wasn't. I then began tor ecall why i think it wa sso great to begin with. As a kid I rented games all the time, never thought of buying anything and thinking how better off it is in the long run. But I also rememebr disliking Tooie. However I thoguht I liked this game but it wasn't much of a spark as it should've been. Maybe I was not feleing ti that day and it wore on, but this game is just...a game to me. Some still praise it as the bets thing ever and owns Mario 64, which I could care less. Mario 64 is alright to me too, but this didn't really have me jumping back into it full throttle. I still 100% it again, oddly enough I rememebred where everything was. And even finished the 'Hard Puzzles' which infact all have a rythm to it, there's only 41 of four places. If you know the alignment, you'tre eliminating half the challnge and it's just a matter of fitting that one piece of 4-6 along the line correctly.

Nostolgia. Overrated.

Naruto Broken Bonds: Main reason I went for this game was, well I didn't have 20 bucks to finish off a new game that was current so I'd come back to this 2 weeks later. Other than that, I really wanted to play out the events after Ris eof Ninja which I thought was done well. Playing this...it was alright..but a lie in a sense. First, you never play through Sasuke's story. It's one 5 minute scene, and that's that. As for puzzles, there're all the same. Not a problem but it's really odd to see a billion people having trouble over this game. Visiting the message boards and trying to help people, it's always the same thing O_o; I never found it difficult to begin with. Odd. The fighting is alright, too bad all the Co-Op combo's are..well...the same. Dojo was the only annoying part of the game. You pull off combo's you're never going to pull off again. Anyway, the sidequests were tedious as well and they basically butchered a ton of events that happened between The Chunnin exams and up to the Sasuke retrieval arc.

...Botched.

Sonic Unleashed: Full. Of. Win. I love this game, and it's a fave on my 360 alongside my current fave Project Sylpheed. I love giving people crap for being wrong about this title. And it's fun to debate this game too on Message Boards. Whether it's on GameTrailers or GFaqs, it's fun to crush Nub's! All I can say is, I enjoy the Visuals, I enjoy the scenes, I enjoy the gameplay of Sonic, I enjoy the gameplay of WereHog and anyone who hates this game cause of WereHog needs to get their faces caved in. Simply. Put =)

Too awesome for idiots.

Fable II: Alrigtht, so I was a big fan of Fable. It was the first game I got alongside Crimson Skies which was also a fun game with my Xbox back in 2005. Anyway, hearing about the Humbug about this, I entered the Fray of Fable II a month and so after everyone else had seemingly played and lul'd with. I ahd to play on ym own as everyone moved on and were too good to play with me =/. Ah well, I played it to the point I've done everyting aside from 2 achievements which I'd love to cave Peter's face in. (The creator of Fable 2, Head of LionHead Studio's). 2 achievements, which force you to buy a crappy Arcade game for a couple items,a nd go online and get the other...too bad you also need to go online for another item for the other achievement so it's a double edged sword. Basically broke the rule of 1000/1000 achievements in a standalone game. It's as bad as King Kong with no online play XD Though it's not that abd anymore, seeing as how Sonic Unleashed isn't online and kicks about everything's ass today. (In my Opinion). Aside from that stupid idea, I've beaten the game 3 times: Once as a Male to see how the game flows, once as a Female who needs to stop bulking up. (Damnit, Peter, why bother making both Male/Female look the same at Max Build?), and the third time with a friend from start to finish as...he was too lazy to figure out anything else. I'd definetly keep replaying this game if others want to do Co-Op, I don't mind the Multiplayer at all so if you want to be first, go for it.

And that's about that on that.

My birthday was also back in December, I couldn't care less for it as I had...guess what....School. Working all day on Homework to catch up on. Though I was sneaky and did multiple assignments on a simple assignment =D One Instcutor called me crafty but he couldn't argue as I did do my work just on a simpler plain. Go me and craftiness.

After that, Christmas was alright. I was able to get Naruto: Ultimate Ninja Storm for the PS3. Collectors to boot. And I was stoked. it's TOO bad it wasn't anythign I expected. It woud've run nicely if it was fitght after fight, with some exploration her and there, kind of like Ubisoft's take on the 360 with Rise Ninja/Broken Bond. But no...their idea was 'Kay, guys. Misison with set parameters t be asses, set by EPIC SCROLL MOUTS ON HUB WHEN FINISHE! NO ONE WILL EVER CARE!' and I had to say 'I CARED!' The scrolls are the ost monotonous thingg. Not only do you ever need an epic amount top do anything with them, but there's not as epic amounts on the Hub which constitute for an epic sum of epic proprotions for the damn epic scrolls to begin with! Meaning, there's a billion scrolls which accumlate to little to nothing, for a skill...which is over thatway on the scale. They all appear within the same 7 designated area's and waste time a lot. Not to mention there's a severe lack of cutscenes. The game is BEAUTIFUL but there's nothing there to show it off aside from 3 scenes. The Japanese Voicework is great, but I'd have loved to see all the scenes put together stringing to other battles without. stupid. limits. and. handicaps. I wa sstoked for this and when people said there wa sno story depth, I was thinking something but not this. This is the rundown: Hit Starta nd go to Missions. Go to SToryline Missions and hit an icon. read info and go to match. Play match with ahndicaps and win. Then it cuts to the same victory dane you always do, then back to Hub World where it reminds you EPIC SCROLLS has appeared and go colletc if you want'. Pretty bad. I need to make a naruto game where it doesn't...suck. Tae an idea form eahc one created and put it together, and there we go...Ultimate Good Naruto game right there. Seriously.

...So damn Tedious. Knife to Guy's face wouldn't suffice.

After that came my favourite day of the year, Boxing Day. Having a limit, of course, I had about 100 or so to spend. I picked up Kingdom Hearts RE: CHain of Memories, Tales of Symphonia 2, and Mass Effect

Kingdom Hearts RE: Chain of Memories: IT's a cool game, but freakin' Cards. I don't mind the battle system, I mind the AI annoyances. I've had it where some member destroyed my 13 Slight, with a single 3 Card. Keep in mind they ahd no special card equipped to do it but it's annopying when you go to do something and they pull a counter/cheta card out fo their ass and obliterate your chance on an attack! I'm at teh final boss battle now and made a 'Quick Kill' Deck, basically all high cards, no 0's as stupid as an idea that is on my part...having no 0's, and I premiumed my cards like an idiot when I shouldn't of. Strategically, with ym original Idea i could kill anything but premiuming all my good cards was the most stupid thing I could do. I have ti saved at last battle, beat the last boss to get into another boss fight which I gave up entirely on. I'll get back to it later. I liked it, it's nice to know what happened between Kngdom Hearts 1 and 2 and this GBA remake is an ENTIRE remake of win. Too abd I have no drive to get back into at the moment. I already know what happens, watched a GBA Video on it years ago X)

Mass Effect - This caught me off gaur. Nathan says it was a good game, Ky says it wa s asnorefest. Aloign with tohers saying it wa spretty lame. I went with Hibberd's opinion and bought ti and liked it. Now, looking at the decision aspect you can be a Good/Bad guy and still come to the same outcome in most cases. Some you can change like kill your own team member but about it. The ultimate decision comes at teh end whether you save something or not and there's only really 2 endings I have looked at so far. Save the Galaxy, or take it over. About it. As for decisions throughout the game, if your Intimdate/Charm skills are uptodate, you'll always get the best outcome anyway but get points in the general direction you went in going into the convo. A Good guy, or a Dick. There are times you can ltierally kill anyone you talk with which is funny, but that's basically the whole 'Good guy - Live' and 'Bad Guy - Die!'. and get some funny convo's. Nothing to really affect the main storyline of three missions, but it affects side quests if there were to be any. I've gone through it twice on normal, by accident. And now going on Hardcore for the kill. I don't mind rpelaying this game but not being able to skip every scene is bothersome. Though they could eb loading screens but...I doubt it. Ah well, still cool by my books.

Tale sof Symphonia 2: Alright, I loved the first one and gave this a shot. It's, at the most, decent. It's not helpful when you can only carry 20 Gels of each kind and your teammates use up about half their abilities in a single battle. I can change their abilities to what they can use and whatnot but damn. I let them go all out anyway, do't like limiting allies much for items. I'm not cheap and I can afford that Soft and P{hoenix Down but wish they'd lighten up a bit. The most annoying thing in this game aside form enemies respawning 5 seconds later is the main character's 'Other side'. He likes to say 'Damn It' at the most unneceassary times. Yam, he get shit in battle, 'damnit!'. Goes to talk to people and loses a convo war 'Damnit!'. Has to stop and use the washroom 'Damnit!'. Go into Ratatosk mode 'Damnit!' get into a Battle, 'Damnit!' get out of a batle 'Damnit!'. IT's so annoying you want to mute his voice alone. 'Damnit!. The storyline is alright, it's a coninuation and I have been curious to finish it to the point I'm rushing through it now as the dialogue of the chaarcters is eye cringingly STUPID! Takle for instance this, their memory is so bad that flashbacks aren't what these would eb called., more so 'Let's recap what we just talked about a econd ago...3 more times'. This lately happened to me. 'This guy has this core! We have to get it back!' 'You're right, we can win if we get it back! Let's go get it back!' 'And when we get it back, we can go win some mkore!' 'But...this guy ahs the core!' 'Yes, and with him having the core...we can't win much! ' 'You're right, lets go get that core!' 'Alright, ewe'll need to get that core from that guy'. 'But that guy ahs the core!'

And it makes you wonder...what is the poi9nt of recalling somethign we just discussed 3 seconds ago? The North American Audience isn't slow at reading first hand, we get the point. The discuswsion can be shortened so much instead of lengthening it. It's like my Englishy Essay's back in High school. I must've talked about the same thing for hours and I passed with a B. Why, I'm not sure. I guess Repetition is fun. Anyways, as for the Battle system it's like the recent Tales. It's cool but you wodner why enemies have a billion health. WHile you have not nearly as much. Take for instance a soldier using bare mminimum armor and I just Synth'd to get really good armor and weapon. The Gaurd has a damn knife and a cardboard box for cover. He has like....20,000 health and I have about 3000. I take about 200 damage, and he takes about 100. My ultimate attack takes him down 11,300 and he's still breathing, it make sno sense. It's an RPG and it's fun to ahve rnaodmly high numbers as your base stats but seriously, no kidding my Artes can't be used as much as I would like to as I have to kepe trudging along thise path fighting more fo teh same, overly high numbered enemies to get anywhere...respawning 5 seconds later! It's completely frustrating to the point I have edenied a Phoenix Dowhjn to an ally because SHE COST ME TOO MUCH! No...she does not get a Revive. No, I'm not as rich as I though. Damn limits!

Aside from Gamingm Anthony got fed up with me back in November, on the 11th I believe he stopped taling to me as all I talkt o him about are games. Well, thinking of it form my view...what else do we usually talk about aside from what we're playing in-game? We hang out, play game,s visit Wal-Mart, come back and watch a movie and talk about random things. He got sick of me, and Lucas egged him on to ignore me. Well, plan successful. He's ignored me for a good 2 months now. Lucas has relised his ways, again far too late, and has joined 'My Side' cause Anthony's a dink? XD Anyway, I could care less what side who's on but all I want to do is hang out with the three of us again. I did play horde mode with him on Gears 2 the other day with Hibby, he seemed fine but dind't want to add me as a Friend yet =p. He deleted me after a spammage of Star Fox Quotes X). Anyway, it seems we're still friends (Thankfully) but he's just gone back to being Anthony now, just complicated =) Not to forget I beat him in achiuevements on december 31st! Finally caught up with him, ended in the lead, and began in the lead of Jan. Then he bought Banjo Kazooie and beating me again XD. Anyway, apparently he doesn't care anymore. I'm also thinking part reason he blcoked me was because I was possibly making him spend money to stay in the lead. Hope that;s not the case. I hear Christmas stress was something but that should never be stressful.

Anyway, next time, people should think before making actions. That's...basically all three of us X)

So, during my break I've done nothing but hang around ym house watching snow fall and playing games, and chatting up with people. I've hung out with my groups of friends and all's well so far. My New Years resolution is to 'ALways Grow. Grow ALl Ways'. Yes, it's a damn Milk Ad but I totally agree with it aside form Growth frorm Milk. I do need to grow in a lot of ways, such as learning lots of new things. Which is basically what I mean by that, learning new things and expanding on things I already know. I don't want to beocme Philosophical but you know what I mean.

And I won't abstain from my Blog anymore either. I'll update when i can as I have not much else to do aside form look for a job when this weather clears a bit. Till then, chat laters =)
