Good Night October, Good Morning November.

So that was weird, tiresome, and painful month - but it's over and November is here.

To kick the month off, on Monday I finished the story portion of Undead Nightmare for Red Dead Redemption. I can not stress enough on how much I love this game so I won't go into how much I enjoyed the DLC. I've been playing Liar's Dice and Stranglehold now since I got the Undead Overrun achievement already. Need to get a couple more achievements before Black Ops comes out next week(yeah I'm giving in).

Yesterday, read the Naruto Manga 515 and...

-SPOILER ALERT-

It was literally the most shocking chapter since Kabuto's revival of all akatsuki. Why? Because KAbuto not only brought back Akatsuki, but also the former Kages(not from Konoha), jinnchurikis, and other hidden ninjas(Zabuza, Kimmamaru, Hanzo, Asuma, Neji's father, Lady Chiyo and more). This war is going to trump the chounin exams(which I still consider my favorite part of the original series) on an epic scale. Looking forward to all the battalions going into battle, but I know alot of people are going to die.

Couple more days til my trip to AC with my boy, gonna get toasted and burn out. Got some news of King of Fighters 2002 UM coming out for Xbox Live, but I have no money or time for that right now. Add to the fact all my 360 controllers are in the crapper...

stay safe and enjoy your week...

Halloween Weekend

Friday:

I started the day off catching up on some Super Street Fighter IV to kill time til the events I had planned for the night, good gaming. Once it got close to the evening, I got all dressed up with the arrival of my Warriors vest in the mail. Once ready my date for the night wasn't ready so I tried to get in contact with any of my friends in Brooklyn before heading to Manhattan. I got in touch with my cousin who was going out as well, so we met up and had a little smoking session before I headed off into the night and lost my mind.

I arrive at Crash Mansion where I took advantage of the abundance of nice ppl and got many free drinks. I just kept downing them and asking for more without knowing the count and if I broke my limit or not. End up getting twisted and became a dancing storm of sex panther. Ended up the night going to Tina's house in Queens and spending the night cuddling and smoking, good times.

Saturday:

More cuddling n' rubbing. ______________________________________

We departed ways on the LIRR and I finally made it back to Brooklyn to lay back in my bed home. I wanted to play Red Dead Redemption and Halo Reach for the Halloween experience points, but I was so happy to be home I passed out. I wake up later that night, knowing about my best friend's bday party but I did not have the funds for another trip to Manhattan.

Sunday:

HALLOWEEN PARADE.

The first half revolves around me getting ready for the parade. Once that was out the way I got my cousin Steph to drop my off by the train since I was in my Warriors costume, jacket-less(which I'll regret later). I arrive in the city around 6pm and begin the hunt by calling numerous friends to find out where they are. We link up and take pics and walk around bar-hopping. More Good Times. End the night at Ella Lounge in support of my friend DJ Angel, who did a great job and I managed to pick up 3 new girls - one being a Peruvian, nice.

Halloween Came Early This Year ;D

So I finally downloaded Undead Nightmare early this afternoon, but haven't played it yet because I had to go to the city(aka Manhattan) to get some accessories for my Halloween costume. I'm going as Cochise from one of my favorite movies: The Warriors.

Here's a pic for those who don't know what he looks like:

Anyways, on friday the jacket should arrive and i'll post pics up of me dressed up before going out clubbing.

Last week I didn't do my review of Naruto Manga because I was busy trying to catch up on some Halo Reach. It was a great manga, sucks to see Madara getting stronger and stronger while Naruto is continuing to annoy me. I was hoping for Deidara's fight with the Tsuchikage to be a bast, but they ended it before anything picked up. Hope he makes another appearance. No new manga this week, so more time to focus on the 360.

Undead Nightmare Time!!!!

Naruto Manga 513 Thoughts [SPOILERS] + Mosquito Bites

DEIDARA SEMPAI!!!!!

Wow what a chapter. Deidara and Kabuto are on route to capture Killer Bee and Naruto, but Tsuchikage and the other Hidden Rock ninja interrupt them(funny how the Rock ninjas can fly but they're all Earth-type ninjas). Anyways, Deidara uses his clay clones to subdue the Tsuchikage and uses his explosion jutsu to blow 'em up. Only to find out they were stone clones. They babble and rant for a little bit before Kabuto turns his focus to the island where the two Jinnchuriki's are.

I loved the banter between Deidara and Tsuchikage, the tension between them shines light on why Deidara became a rogue ninja and the distaste Tsuchikage has for my favorite nin. The scenes on the island were pointless and waste of time, but the armadillo pee-pee scene was funny and made up for it. BACK TO THE ACTION. Kabuto uses a new version of Manda to halt the moving island and Deidara uses a squid bomb to flip the island over.

The two split up and Deidara decides to face the Hidden Rock ninjas and lets Kabuto go ahead to face the 8tails and 9tails alone. The chapter ends with the Tsuchikage unleashing his Hidden Jutsu against Deidara.

All in all, it was a great chapter focused on my favorite character back from the dead thanks to Kabuto. I'm glad past akatsuki characters coming back because there aren't many ninjas alive now to face off the good guys. Alot of the villains died too early, IMHO. Looking forward to the fight next chapter and really hope Deidara wins(though it's highly unlikely).

Aside from a great Naruto manga today, I got another mosquito bite. These lil' vampires are pissin' me off and it's the middle of October in NYC, shouldn't they be dead by now?

Rockstar let information out on Red Dead Redemption's Undead Nightmare DLC and next week the online component of the pack is going to be revealed, so hype. I started playing Super Street Fighter IV again even though I have two booty Xbox controllers, I'm going to pick two new ones in november once those special ones come out with the fixed DPAD.

Don't know what I'll be for Halloween this year but I'll keep you guys posted. Laterz.

Naruto Manga 512 Reaction [SPOILERS]

WOW Madara has the first hokage and an army of Zetsu's?!?!?!? Things just got out of hand. I really wasn't expecting a big reveal like that. Now with the 5 Villages mobilizing their forces and Madara with information from Kisame, the 4th Ninja War is about to kick off.

What better way to kick it off? With the Tsuchikage vs. Kabuto and Deidara. YES! My favorite member of Akatsuki is back and he's going to battle against his own Kages. It was also funny to see Gaara and Tsuchikage go at it over who was going to warn Naruto of Akatsuki's plans.

Also, with Guy knocked out Yamato, Killer Bee, and Naruto are defenseless on the Hidden Cloud's Turtle Island against Kabuto. So I'm guessing Kabuto is going to leave Deidara to fight Tsuchikage and use the information from Kisame to go after Naruto and Killer Bee himself.

From this chapter I didn't see any ninjas from Konoha, so I guess I still have to wait to see Shino in action. SIGH

New York Comic-Con 2010 Week

New York City Comic Con 2010 is upon us, and by us I mean - Comic Readers. This Friday the city will be drenched in comic, games, and movie news it's going to be awesome. I haven't blogged in about a month so I'm going to use this to update what's been up with me.

September Briefing:

  • Bought Halo: Reach and spent many many hours in the Multiplayer (haven't touched the Single Player pass the first chapter)
  • Konan is dead and Madara now has the Rinnegan. It was touching to see that Yahiko and Konan were an item, but it felt rushed and nothing was brought out of it - Too little Too late. Now I'm hoping to see more of Sasuke, because Naruto is so powerful right now. Oh and PLEASE make use of the other ninjas, I haven't seen Kiba or Shino do anything since Shippuden started.
  • Aqualad has finally revealed himself and this wednesday (October 6th) I get the fight I've been waiting for since Brightest Day Issue #1.... AQUAMAN vs. BLACK MANTA!!!
  • I got in touch with this girl I had the greatest sex in my life with. We were supposed to hang out but I ended going out with this 40+ year old woman I met up with whilst drinking with my friends.
  • My pen-pal Ryan from S. Carolina who was living in Japan for awhile has moved to Brooklyn and now we regularly hang out and smoke.
  • I didn't get my hands on the Red Dead Redemption Liars and Cheats DLC, but I will this month.

And that's about it for September, it was a weak month. Other than Labor Day and Reach, nothing too spectacular. October is going to be awesome as many DLC, comics, movies, and parties are coming up.

Rockstar just announced that they're going to have a preview for "Undead Nightmare" DLC at Comic-Con, which I'm most excited for. I'm planning on getting a new Aquaman shirt for the event, but really wish I had money for a costume, oh well. I'm going to go back to playing Reach and Red Dead - I'll frequent the blog more as I'm in a writing mood all of a sudden.

- love, Rock.

My First Time... -The Happy Labor Day Weekend Recap Blog Special Edition-

So this weekend was my first time BOOSTING. Gears of War 2 had this special 25x experience deal for this Labor Day weekend. The reason behind the 25x EXP was that fans would have to add Gears on Facebook(I'm always on my facebook) and for every 1000 fans they would +1 for the EXP(so it came around to 25).

I started on friday just playing regular matches like wingman and execution, working my way up quickly, the slow and righteous way. But on saturday a couple of my friends were already nearing the 80s margin and I knew about boosting in the past but never investigated how they worked. I joined their party and we went to social matchmaking to do 25x EXP by making the opposing team walk in and out of the hill so that each time we captured it we would get 200+ points, for EVERY second of the 120second time you have to control the team. We would swtich at 118 seconds for the other team to go in the hill and our team would walk in and out the hill to give them 200+ for each second of the hill. Basically for one game of king of the hill you'd get close to about 10000000 points. Because you'd get about 110 captures, multiply that by 200, then multiply that number by 25. I ranked up from 66 to 100 in about 8 games.

It was weird experience and I doubt I'll ever do it again, unless Gears 3 has the same thing going on... LOL

Hope everyone had a great Labor Day, I just came back from the Labor Day Parade here in Brooklyn, NY. Representing for my Haitian people around the country/globe. Enjoy and have a good night - I'll be on XBL til I pass out from the drugs wearing off ;-)

- Rock.

Naruto Manga 508 Reaction [SPOILERS]

SPOILER ALERT!

So Kisame breaks out of the genjutsu by biting his own tongue and performs the water prison technique on himself to prevent Guy from being able to attack him. He then summons a Shark, which we get a flash-back to Kisame and Itachi's first meeting. Back to the battle, Kisame is devoured by the Shark and with his dying breath he says to himself "Itachi, In the end, I wasn't so terrible after-all". Then Guy recovers the information-scroll and opens it, only for it to set off a trap from Kisame which lets out multiple water prisons that capture the 8-Tails, Naruto, and Guy. The remaining shark grabs the scroll and makes it's way to Madara, WHO IS ABOUT TO FIGHT KONAN FOR THE WHEREABOUTS OF NAGATO'S RINNEGAN!!!

END SPOILERS!!!

Holy shhhh, that was a massive WDF issue. I didn't expect anything at all and that last page of Konan standing up to Madara made my jaw DROP!!! I haven't been this hype for a fight since the Deidara and Sasuke fight(I love Deidara). My friends and I argue all the time about Konan and her abilities. Finally we'll see another female character step to the plate and show her skills.
