CRman here, saying hello from Florida! I will tell all of you about my trip in New Jersey and Florida once I'm back home. I have something to ask about amazon.
How reliable is amazon? Has anyone had any problems with amazon at all? I'll tell why I'm asking this in mid August.
I'm gonna get back home on Saturday or Sunday. Probably Sunday. I don't think we're going to drive home in one day.
The League of Reviewers Union made the first ever contest to see who wrote the best review for one particular game. Unfortunately, we aen't getting enough votes for it. That's why I want you to vote so we can get more votes. This contest is to who has the best TWEWY review, me or reo-117. Here are the links.
If you haven't read both of them, READ THEM! Don't just vote for the sake of it. Actually read them!
Sorry for "yelling" at you :P Anyway, please help the LoR union with their very first review contest! It would help a lot!
EDIT: Sorry guys but I'm not going to be able to finish my Partners in Time review in time due to my trip and because of laziness. I'll have to finish it when I get back.
Keep in mind I haven't play Super Mario Kart on the SNES.
Let's kick things off starting with...
#5: Mario Kart: Super Circuit
I could never really get into this Mario Kart. I didn't find it engaging enough. Plus, the controls don't work for me. I'm still having trouble staying on the road the whole time after 8 years since it came out. So that's why it's at the bottom of the list.
Number 4 goes to...
#4: Mario Kart DS
I liked that each character had a cool looking car of their own. I also liked that you can make anEmblem and show it off on Wifi. Unfortunately, the Wifi stunk. For me it did. The other players would jump around the course like they had the ability to teleport. It really ticked me off. But anyway, Grand Prix was pretty fun while it lasted, but like Super Circuit, it didn't catch my attention for very long while playing it. The controls were a lot better so thankfully I had no control issues. There are challenges you can do, like, grabbing this many coins in a time limit and stuff like that. So, a pretty good Mario Kart game overall.
You might be surprised by this choice...
#3: Mario Kart 64
(for some reason, the image won't work...)
I loved playing this Mario Kart! It was fun everytime I played it. I don't know what it was, maybe it's because I was a little kid at the time I first played this but it was just so fun and addicting. I remember playing this game a lot when i was a kid. Those were the good ol' days... boy do I miss them... To me, this was a great cla$$ic.
And #2, we're almost there!
#2: Mario Kart: Double Dash
I love this one simply for the fact of 2 characters in one kart. I love how you can switch drivers and pull off the special items each character had. You can make Mario and Bowser team up for crying out loud! Who wouoldn't want to see that? I also thought it was cool to have 2 players be on a team and one person would drive and the other uses items. It would require teamwork if you wanted to win. Of course I played by myself most of the time. Anyway, that's why Double Dash is at #2.
I bet you can't guess what #1 is...
#1: Mario Kart Wii (Oh snap I didn't know!)
My overall favorite. It feels great playing this game. I just love tosteer and do tricks. Throwing items behind you is easier than before, when using the Wii remote. The new tracks were all cool and creative. And Wifi is a lot better than the DS. No lags, no teleporting abilities, just plain fun with random people haha :P until they quit and you're rank goes down because of that. That's the bad thing about Wifi, but still a big improvement over the DS version and SSBB's Wifi. Up to 12 players can be in one race and it feels awesome! Mario Kart has never been this big before.
There ya go! How did you like the list? Hope you enjoyed it!

I decided to do my top 5 Mario Kart games. I know there is only 6, but I have played all of them but the SNES game. So the other 5 will be on the list. I will start it tomorrow or the next day.
In Halo 3, I beat Campaign on Normal yesterday. MAYBE I can get through Heroic. MAYBE. Normal was hard enough for me XD
There is a chance of me getting a game today cuz I saw Gamestop had a "Huge Sale" sign up yesterday at the locale mall. I wanted to go look in there after driving school, but the mall was close to closing by the time driving school was done. Hopefully the sale is still going on for today and I can get something for a small price. I have quite a few games in mind that want to get.
My next review will be Mario and Luigi: Superstar Saga's sequel, Mario and Luigi: Partners in Time.
That's about it for today. Now I need to go play a game that I haven't played in a while. haha :P

As you can see, I made my own Avatar and Banner. I would like to thank Thug2Wasteland for the help with the renders. It was a big help. Thank you :)
Anyway, if you would like to rate and comment, please do.
Also, I got around to finishing the Mario and Luigi: Superstar Saga Review. I hope you enjoy that too.
And I hope you americans out there had a great 4th of July yesterday! Mine was pretty good.
I saw 3 movies since Thursday: Monsters vs. Aliens, Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs, and Transformers 2 (believe it or not)
Monsters vs. Aliens: One hilarious movie and some good action. A lot of funny moments. I liked Bob. He was my favorite. Along with Insectosaurus.
Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs: another funny movie with some action. I just wish they woulduse the 3D effects a bit more. It didn't seem like they did much with it.
Transformers 2: it was at least decent. Not bad, but not great. There were many parts that I thought could have been better, but the transformers fighting made up for some of it.
Also, I was able to get my permit on Thursday! My mom found an eye doctor that was free that Thursday morning, so we went there. Turns out I have to wear glasses all the time now, so I got new glasses. They're a LOT better than the old ones. I can see things that are far away much better. I'm already used to them. Anyway, after drivingCla$$ I took my eye exam one more time and passed, along with the permit test, so it's all good. :D
That's all I got for today. I'll be around!

It's been, I don't even know HOW long it's been, since I've gotten a new game. But I finally got something. First, like in the title, I got gold membership for Xbox Live for a year (woo!). Plus, Halo 3. There probably would have been other FPS I could have gotten that are better, but they were either not in my budget, or didn't interest me at the time. Regardless, Halo 3 is supposed to be a great game, so I got it. I haven't gotten that far in single player yet. I'm only like 30 minutes in I think. I don't know how longthe gameis, neither. Anyway, since I have the online privilege to play games online now, I can play Halo 3, Battelfield: Bad Company, and Soul Calibur 4 online. So if you have any of the 3 games and would like to play with me, just ask. and my gamertag is Cgamer17. ok, moving on.
I started driving school on Monday. Every class is 2 hours long. After just 1 day of it, I already hated it. This is mostly because of the teacher. Old and strict. Bleh. Now, I have good news and bad news. The good news is that the final test is supposed to be very easy, even if you didn't study (though, it would be a good idea to study anyway)and if Ipass it, I get my permit. The bad news is that I failed my eye exam, so I can't receive my permit until I get my eyes checked andget new glasses. But, I think my mom can get me to a place where I can get good glasses fast. I guess it's a good thing in the end, because I need new glasses anyway (my current ones have Spongebob on it... hey, I got them 2 years ago, i was still acting childish back then). But it also makes me realize that my eyes are getting worse and I think I know why. Sitting in front of a freaking computer (or TV) screen whenever I'm at home... nuff said...
My next review will be on Mario and Luigi: Superstar Saga for GBA. Don't miss it. And hopefully I won't take too long making it :P

Okay, so, I was on my laptop minding my own business, and I come on GS for a while. I go to my unions and post some comments there. I come back to my profile and I see the format has COMPLETELY changed! What the... !!!! Let me tell you, it looks pretty horrible. But every once in a while it goes back to normal. but then it goes back to the crappy look! What is going on?!?!?!! I swear, it's the biggest glitch I've seen on GS. Or it could just be my laptop, but I wouldn't understand why it's like this!!
Well, here it is. My review for The World Ends With You. Please read and comment. I would appreciate it. :D

Yes, I'm back from North Carolina. I had a lot of fun. It was interesting to be in one beach house with a lot ofmy cousins, aunts, and uncles. It was an experience like no other. okay, so what we did there.
To begin with, what I did on the 2 day car ride there. The only 2 games I played while getting there were Mario and Luigi: Superstar Saga and The World Ends With You. I got pretty far in both.
At the beach house, we, of course, went to the beach. we either rode the waves, built an island, or played frisbee.
In the house, there was a pool table. we played with it a lot if we were bored.
We played Guitar Hero 3 a lot. we got most of the adults to try it for the first time :lol:
For dinner, we had a theme each day. Sunday we had Pizza, Monday was Hawaiian, Tues. for Tex Mex, and Wed. for Italian. iu forgot what we had Thursday :P Friday we went out to eat. Sat. we had Gumbo and salad. I liked the Gumbo a lot! I thought it was really good! So, the food was delicious. and just to make it better, we had a different dessert everyday! Now THAT'S awesome!
On top of that, Tuesday was my brother's b-day and Thursday was Nana's (Grandma)birthday. So there was cake, ice cream, and all of those other sweets to eat throughout the week.
soo, yeah! That was my trip to North Carolina. Thanks for reading!

Tomorrow, bright and early, I'm going to drive up to North Carolina. We'll be there for about a week. I'll be seeing all of my cousins, aunts, uncles, and many others from my mom's side of the family. It will be a lot of fun. We'll be near the beach BTW ;) and I'm taking the Wii with me so at night, we'll be playing it all night long :D :P Hope you guys have a safe week while I'm gone! :) and expect a blog about the stuff we did ;) and after that, I'll be starting my game reviews! :D and as a spoiler, the first one will be The World Ends With You. It's a such a great game, it deserves to be first :P Alright I got to go. Have a good week everyone! :)
