Red Dead Redemption - Myths and Mavericks DLC

Rockstar just announced the "Myths and Mavericks" DLC pack for Red Dead Redemption and I couldn't be more excited.

As you should know RDR is my #1 game of all-time and I'm extremely excited that Rockstar has been supporting the game even a year after it's release. (Plenty of triple XP weekends and social club events to keep the loyal fans happy.)

I've said it before and I'll say it again: Grand Theft Auto V just needs the online layout system from Red Dead Redemption and it'll easily replace RDR as my favorite game. My problem with GTA IV was that anytime I wanted to jump into an online game I had to wait in a lobby to fill up before getting to play. Red Dead went the route of allowing players to jump into games that were ongoing, so no need to wait in lobbies and the interface allowed easy access to other modes by hitting the select button.

Rockstar I have faith that this time around you'll perfect Grand Theft's online, so I can't wait to see more news about Part V.

- Rock.

Happy Birthday!!!

I'm Twenty-Six today and it feels... the same. When you're this age the most you have to look forward to are a couple of shots, good sex, and some memorable memories...

On that note, yesterday's Naruto Manga (Chapter 547) was very lackluster compared to last weeks chapter... It's my bday weekend and the weather is nice so I'll have the beach to get my mind off the boringness which is my week.

Naruto Chapter 546

Start to Finish, this was an action packed chapter.

Great to see the 4 Kages( 2nd Mizukage, 2nd Tsuchikage, 3rd Raikage, and 4th Kazekage) again...

Gaara vs. his father the Fourth Kazekage is going to be an interesting fight since the 4th can control Gold Dust and nullify all of Gaara's attacks.

Another interesting point within this chapter is that the 3rd and 2nd Tsuchikage's used the same Dust technique but they cancelled out. I'm going to assume Oonoki has a trump card to beat his master, but I'd really like to see him get defeated because he was talking sh^t to Deidara.

Next chapter will be the big fight between father(4th Kazekage) and son(5th Kazekage: Gaara) - going to be a good fight but I'm more interested in the Tsuchikage fight.

Happy Memorial Day fellow bloggers/gamers/geeks... I'm not the best with this blog thing, but I try.

P.S. - Naruto Manga last week was incredible and can't wait to see where they go with Itachi & Nagato, Sakura with Zetsu, and Naruto vs. Raikage(doubt it will be a full fight or a fight at all).

Broken Back and Mortal Kombat

Happy Belated 420 Everyone!!!

With that out the way, I've been playing Mortal Kombat like crazy since I got it two days ago. It's literally on right now while the TV is off, since I'm about to go to bed(maybe I should turn the thing off lol). I'm really loving the game and will most likely put up a written review tomorrow...

Now on to more serious matters... I've been exercising like crazy to get my skinny ass in shape for the summer, but recently broke/pulled my back out. Situation goes like this: I was doing curls with my cousin and he forced me to lift one of the weights that he normally curls which are much heavier. While trying to lift 'em up I arched my back and I heard a pop... I thought nothing of it until like two days ago where I couldn't even move without extreme pain, especially from my right leg...

Read online to check with a chiropractor and keep ice over the injured area... I've been getting rest but with MK9 and 420 I went out anyways stumbling and struggling making my situation worse... Because not only is my back messed up but I'm now sick(sore throat and coughing) with each cough painful as hell since it stresses my back...

Hopefully I'll get better and be able to move around without having to scream in agony... sigh, I'm only 25 and I feel like I'm 52.

...until next time, happy gaming and stay high...

So Hype!

Aquaman will be getting his own series soon, written by none other than the man himself: Geoff Johns. What's even better than that is the artist: Ivan Reis!!!

If you don't know much about comics here's a pic of Aquaman illustrated by Ivan Reis(he's currently drawing him in the mini-series Brightest Day):

With Aquaman currently starring in Brightest Day, then to go on to having his own mini in Flashpoint, to getting his own series it's looking good for the King. Hopefully this leads to him getting his own DTV movie like Wonder Woman and Green Lantern.

Finally Beat Dead Space 1

Took me about a year but I finally beat the game. I was on chapter 10 since last year, then the DAY before Dead Space 2 was coming out I played the game til I got to the final boss. I died a couple of times and quit. I seen that my friend beat it, which annoyed me so I turned the game on Sunday before the SuperBowl and beat it after three tries. It was my first playthrough on hard and I don't think I'm going to play it again, my girl has every achievement in it and I'm thinking of getting her the sequel for valentine's...

Looking forward to Naruto Manga this week, wondering if I'm going to pre-order Mortal Kombat KE or TE, and should I sign up for Planet Fitness(or buy a bike).

Naruto Manga 522 SPOILER

OMFG!!!!

Yes the arc I've been itching for since Zabuza's first appearance. The reveal of the Seven Swordsman of the Bloody Mist. I know it's the previous generation versions, but still it's something. I love the mythology around weapons that have particular abilities(which is why I love Inuyasha and Trigun so much). So I can't wait to see what happens when the original 7 go to work against Kakashi, Guy, Sakura, and Rock Lee.

Another thing is that Haku with his ice blood limit, Gari and his explosion blood limit, and Paku with her Scorch blood limit look like they already are too much to handle as of right now. So I think the Mizukage and/or Suigetsu are going to intervene in the battle.
