Yey, it's my birthday -.- Meh, normally I'd be excited but I don't know why this year this birthday thingy hasn't gotten into me. Oh well. As for presents, my parents gave me an HDTV (omgzorz it'z zo awesoooomeee!) My friends and stuff, I still don't know, me waiting for them come over here.
Sooo... as for gaming news. Ok, actually there are no gaming news, cause I've been playing Gears, period. I'm now participating in a tournment, so far so good, I hope to get a nice place ._. (Neon, I'm still waiting for your so promised live account "somewhere around February"). That game is so freakin awesome, and I won't even mention how great the graphics are when played on my new TV. I can't describe it.
Hmmm... I also lent my Viva Piñata and traded it for Oblivion, for some weeks. I decided to give one more opportunity to this game (the first time I played it I couldn't stand it) and I have now like.... 20 hours on that freakin' game? I'm quite enjoying it now that I understand what's going on and stuff, but I turned into a vampire yesterday, and I.DO.NOT.LIKE.IT. The f***ing quest to find the cure is huge and I'm not in the mood to it do so yeah... I'm a vampire now. Which sucks. I'll just try to finish the game, get the achievements, and give it back to my friend. Bah!
As you can see, my Xbox360 is now my system of election but I haven't forgotten my PS2 yet. I got Okami and.... Final Fantasy XII! I have almost 10 hours in Okami and it is a damn good looking game. The battles are kinda boring, but the bosses and the whole environment are making me fall in love for that game. As for FFXII, believe it or not, I have 15 min on it. I saw the first sequence, played a bit to see how the battles were, and never touched it again. Blame the 360. But I definitly need to go back to FFXII and play it till I finish it, with no other game in the middle. Maybe when the tournment is over... Sorry Square >_>
One more thing that I forgot to mention in my other entry, I'm now a proud owner of a very awesome electric guitar, and I've been learning since... October or something I guess. I can play some cool things, my previous knowledge on music (adquired with my piano lessons for... 6 years?) helped me so much... I love to play guitar, oh yeah I do. Me rocks out, yeah!
Ahem.... now I think that's all. See y'all.

Oh my gawd. I can't believe that my last blog entry was on... 29 August?!?! I mean... whoa. Probably all of the people around here forgot me or thought I was dead, but I got a bad new for ya: I'm not :twisted:
I could type till tomorrow, but since I have a Biology test in the morning, this will be a quick thing (at least I hope so). For the recent news, I'm completely addicted to my Xbox 360. I'm just SO glad I got it now... All of this has a reason: Gears of War. That game deserved the award of GotY. Seriously, it owns. Since I got it (somewhere around Christmas break) I've played through the game so many times that I can't even count them right now. I beat the game on Casual, Hardcore and Insane by myself, I've helped many of my friends beating it on some difficulty, I beat it again with one of my friends to get thh "Dom's achievements" and I've played AGAIN to get all the COG tags... so yeah... I probably can play that game with my eyes closed and not dying a single time. The thing is... I'm actually having trouble playing that s*** online. I get my ass kicked almost everytime, except when it's Warzone. I can't understand why :cry:
Ahem...
Another game I bought recently was Viva Piñata and that game is... cute. I can't find another word to describe it. It IS cute. So I have some hours on it, my garden is growing, but I never have enough money to do what I want, which kinda sucks. What to do? Romance those Whirlims for hours. It's a desperate measure but hey... it works. Now I'm kinda tired of the game since I haven't been in the mood to play games that require patience, so yeah.
Also borrowed PGR3. The game is good, just not my type of game. I found it quite boring. I'll probably get Burnout Revenge sometime soon, eh. (what? I've always been a Burnout fan and I do not own the PS2 version and I've been having fun with the demo so I'll buy it, yes).
As for my PS2... Guitar Hero II wasn't a challenge, I beat the damn game in 2 days, and eventually not played it anymore after one week. I'm waiting for the 360's version (yes, I'll buy it as well), probably it will be more fun, with the achievements and online and the extra songs and all that cool stuff. I almost finished MGS2 but the game keeps on freezing on a certain part, so I gave up. So both of the Guitar Hero's are all that I've been playing on PS2. It's Microsoft's fault, blame 'em.
As for personal stuff that you may (not) be interested in, my grades in the first term were good, everything's good with my boyfriend, hanging out with friends, family is ok, nothing to worry about... It's all fine.
NOW I'm off. Hope I'll have more time to be around here and update this thingy more often, 5 months (o.O) with nothing is kinda... sad.
See ya ;)
PS: Oh by the way and before I forget... CatamyKX is my gamertag on XBLive (I don't understand why GS isn't letting me put my gamecard over there), you can add me, just tell me you're from here or something, or else I'll probably decline if I'm on a bad mood.

There's a Prophecy that will change the world's destiny...
by Catamy on Comments
Ok. So here I am again, after my huge abscence from GS and my even huge-er failure in getting those 100 comments in the last entry. But who cares? I don't.
Soo... Into some interesting stuff. As I said before, I went to a music festival last week. It was one hell of an adventure, and I won't get into detail because... it isn't really worth it. But if you asked me to describe it in one word I'd say: wet.
For those o wanna know, keep reading this paragraph. So... last Tuesday me and one of my friends (Ana) met here in my house in the morning, to go to the place where the festival would be. My mom gave us a ride, we took 1 hour and a half to get there. Once arrived, we met up with my boyfriend and one of his friends, and a bunch of Ana's friends. We found a nice place to put our tents and prepared everything. After that we were just walking around and talking. Me and my boyfriend's friend were always argueing as always (our friendship is based on arguments and it's actually pretty funny... yeah, weird) and it was an awesome afternoon. At 6 pm the concert were about to start so we decided to go and see them. Everything's fine when it started... Raining. Still everything fine when it started raining... even more. And more. And more. I was more wet than if I was taking a shower so we decided to go back to our tents and spend the night there. We had a lot of fun, talked until very late and all. But the rain... didn't stop. "And what's the problem?" you're thinking. Well... the problem is that IT WAS RAINING *IN* OUR TENT the next morning. Exactly! That f***ing thing wasn't water proof. We decided to wait until the rain stopped. But it didn't for the whole f**ing day. We were supposed to stay there the next 2 days, but by that time all our clothes were completely wet, and everything was wet, and everyone was wet... Wet, wet, wet. So we decided to get the f*ck out of there. We called to a taxi central. No taxis.We asked if there was *any* way to get us to the train station. There was a bus who would take us there but... only half an hour later. So we stayed there in the cold rain, with our bags on our back... and waited. Once it arrived... Party! We had been saved! In the train station we went directly to the toilets to change our clothes and caught a train (one hour later, I must say) to our city. Now, you must know that we stayed 17 HOURS inside of that damn tent, where it was raining, yet *very* hot. Hell, it's the best word to describe it. Our group has acquired the name of: The Survivors. Oh yeah. And keep in mind that this is a summary... If I told you everything... this thing would be the bigger journal entry ever.
So... moving on! AFter this adventure it was time to relax! And what's one of the best ways to relax, people? Exactly, playing videogames! That's what I did the next days... I bought Fahrenheit (for those in America - most of you - this game is called Indigo Prophecy) for a nice price... 15 euros, more or less the same in dollars. I was very surprised with this game. I've always heard good things about it, but I didn't actually think that it was THIS good! I beat it in 2 days, got two different endings... still haven't got the "good one", just because I can't press R1 and L1 alternatedly (I know there's something wrong with the spelling here) for 5 freakin' minutes. Grr... Anyways, I haven't played one game like this one since KH2, so I'm happy.
If you remember (probably you don't), I had a bunch of games to play this summer... But as you can see, I didn't play them. I did some progresses in MGS2, but I got bored with that "hide and seek" strategy. Not my type. I started RE4 (yay Neon...) but I eventually got bored with the game cause... it's not my type either. I'll finish it, as well as MGS2 and 3, but I need some entertaining games for now. I startes FFX-2, but all that girlish style and happiness and "Yay! Girl power!" is not my type either, so I totally gave up of the game and was about to throw it away... But nah, I spent my precious money on it, I can at least keep it with me. My boyfriend told me the whole story instead, much nicer I must say. I had Dragon Quest VIII to start... but the game is so big, I don't feel like starting a game like that now, since I haven't had much time for gaming anyways.
Two games that I actually play almost every day, for short sessions are Guitar Hero and Burnout 3. Amazing games. I know that Burnout 3 is old, but the best in the series in my opinion, and my favourite racing game, period. It's one of those games that can literally change your mood... it always makes you feel better. As for Guitar Hero... I did it! I beat the expert career! I'm a guitar goddess, and now no one can say the opposite :P Now I pick up the game to improve my scores, I just don't get tired of it.
I see that most of you guys are starting school out there, but I still have 2 weeks of holidays ahead to enjoy... ah AH!
Hmm... that's about it I think... I see that GS did some changes around here. A category for my entry?! I don't know! I mean... there's many in here as you guys can see... Why don't they cut out the useless stuff and start working on the most important things around here? Oh well...
See ya ;)

I'm gonna live in London...
by Catamy on Comments
...oh yes I am. Eh, at least I want to :P But you'll see why this, later in this text.
Anyways... Wow. I haven't written an entry for this journal for a loooong time. These last weeks were tiring, sad, cool and a misc of feelings if you care. But first things first.
Ahem. Two weeks ago I woke up with my mom crying in her bedroom... My grandmother has died. It was a shock for everyone, no one was counting with that... And those days were pretty hard, I must say. But I don't want to think much about it right now. So some days after her death, since my dad had everything planned, him and me went to Algarve, South of Portugal for those who don't know where it is. We spent a week there, it was good to relax, go to the beach, etc. It was awesome since I could actually rest and stop thinking about all the bad stuff.
After that one week, I came back to my city and spent most of the time with my grandfather, who is like... the best person in the whole world. We two talked a lot, both him and me were needing some support so that's what we both did. Unfortunatly, I wasnt able to spend that many time with him cause 3 days after coming back, I had to leave again cause I went to.... London!
Now that was a trip. I only came back yesterday and today I'm still tired cause I walked miles and miles in that city. Visited almost everything that I could... That city is absolutely amazing. It has everything that we don't have here and... and it's so... cool! I'm out of adjectives to describe it. Anyways, I'll tell ya a funny thing that happened to me while I was there. So I was walking down this one street, Picadilly-somthing and I saw a game store. I came in, just to see if the prices were lower than here in Portugal (which they weren't) and I saw one guy playing Guitar Hero in the middle of the store. I approached him and saw the guy playing. He played well, in the Hard difficulty. So that was when I saw a second guitar. I never had the opportunity to try the multplayer mode in that game so I decided to challenge the guy. I asked him if he wanted to, he looked to me like "A girl? Ah!" but ended up accepting. We played on Hard, Symphony of Destruction. He chose the song, but right now he must be regreting it. It's one of the songs that I play better in the whole game. Guess what then! I won! Oh, the surprise! (not) At the end the guy stared at me and after some seconds we shaked hands and he said "congratulations, you're good" . I replied, laughing, "I know". Cockiness forever :P Seriously, I loved to see his face when I won. Ahh, it felt really good!
After this, let's talk about... english pronounciation! Those guys have a weird, WEIRD pronounciation. I mean, I talk like american people talk, or at least I try to, but sometimes I had an hard time trying to understand what the hell those guys were saying. I mean... geez. In general I could keep a conversation, but there were those embarrassing moments when I was always asking "what?".
Buuut.... I actually LOVED London and the Underground is cool (believe it or not, never used an underground :?). So I want to live there once I finish my degree. That, or US... or even Canada. One of those three will be for sure, I just know that I'm NOT going to stay in this stupid little country.
As you can guess, I haven't been playing much, except for Burnout 3. I found the online in that game extremelly fun, so I play that every once in a while. Halo 2 is another one of the few games that I've been playing too.
I'm tired and not feeling like typing any more, I just felt that I should stop by and say something to all of you guys. By the way... 88 comments in my last entry! I want 100 in this one, alright? See ya ;)

Oh look... I'm on PSM2!
by Catamy on Comments
Ok, I'm back. I promised you that I'd post the images, and here they are. Three pages full of photos and all. Sorry but it has to be in links, the images are way too big to post them:
Well, don't mind my stupid and fake smile on the first photo. Oh, and don't try to read what it says unless you know portuguese... Enjoy ;)
Catamy stopping by, huh?
by Catamy on Comments
Time for a little update.
So... biggest new. I participated in a contest for going to the PSM2 offices (non-official PlayStation 2 magazine) and spend one day there with more 9 people and guess what? Exactly. I won. So, I went to Lisbon last weekend to go there and that was a really funny day. We were able to play every single game we wanted to, see a lot of exclusive E3 videos and we saw how they worked in the magazine, etc. I think I should say I was the only girl around there... Me and more 9 guys, plus all the guys who work there... we were 15 or 16, I think, and I was the only girl. Go me! I pwn'd all those guys :twisted: Well, we had lots of fun and everyone was really nice.
One of the games that really surprised me was Guitar Hero. Great songs, great gameplay, addicting... Holy crap, it is awesome... So awesome that I actually spent pratically all my money on it after getting out of there. Another game that I bought was Resident Evil 4, but I haven't played it yet, since Guitar Hero is keeping me way too busy.
So the magazine will be released here this Tuesday, I'll post some scans if I can.
Another great thing is that my classes are over and now I have 3 months of holidays... So great. I waited all this year for this moment... I love holidays. Well... who doesn't?
So I have a lot of stuff to do this holidays. I won't say much here (:P) but as for games, I have the following ones to beat:
- Dragon Quest VIII
- Guitar Hero (Expert)
- Resident Evil 4
- Final Fantasy X-2
- Disgaea: Hour of Darkness
- Devil May Cry
- Metal Gear Solid
- Metal Gear Solid 2
- Metal Gear Solid 3
- Xenosaga
I think that's all >_> And quite enough in my opinion. That last one, Xenosaga, wasn't released here, but one of the guys who work in PSM2 gave it to me since he couldn't run it in his PS2 so I didn't need to import it. How cool is this? I won't be able to buy the second one cause I'm trying to get the money I need to buy the PS3 in November, but we'll see if I like it or not.
I think that's all for now, I'll probably post something here on Tuesday. See ya ;)
Probably giving up...
by Catamy on Comments
Yeah, I haven't been here for weeks... And I'm not sure when I'll come back or anything... So I'll pribably just give up of everything here on GS, and just come in here to read reviews and writing some updates here in this blog.
I just don't have the time for anything here anymore... So yeah. I'll leave my union to Crazy_Hand, he'll lead that much better than me. As for all the other unions, I probably won't post again, just stopping by every once in a while.
So that's it, my friends. Just telling you this.
My Point of View About E3
by Catamy on Comments
Yes, I know I'm late. But I just haven't had the time to type anything here. Let's talk about what really matters.
So, E3. This here was really excitting, I must say. PlayStation 3 and Wii ruled the show, no doubt about that.
I saw all the 3 company's conferences and read about some of the games that interested me.
Nintendo's conference was by far, the best one. Especially because I though that Wii would suck (I'm being honest... don't kill me yet) and I'm very surprised with it. Cause that controller is just... special. It's a completely new thing, and it actually looks funny to play with (don't get wrong ideas, ok...). That tennis game they did at the end of the conference made me want to be there and play it so bad. Never though I'd be so excited about a Nintendo's console like I am with the Wii. Yeah, I've never been too much of a fan of the Nintendo's systems. It's a shame that I won't be able to buy it, since I have a X360 and will soon have a PS3.
Now about te best console ever created... exactly, the PS3. Man... it sure looks awesome. Those graphics gave me the creeps. I know we've seen that last year but now that the release of it is near (November 17th for us here in Europe) it's kinda different. Besides that, they showed a lot of new games... including Final Fantasy XIII and Final Fantasy Versus XIII. They both look awesome but this last one, since it's being developed by the Kingdom Hearts team, appealed me. I was like this: :shock: when they showed that trailer in the conference. Sweet.
There's just this little problem with the PS3: the price. It is expensive. It worths it, but it is so damn expensive. I'll have to work hard this Summer to earn the money for it *sighs*. I just hope I can get all the money by the time of its release date. I'll buy the most expensive pack, just for record. Cause the other pack sucks. It lacks a lot of essential stuff, so no, thanks.
As for Microsoft... meh. Saw that Halo 3 trailer... meh. I was hoping a much more exciting trailer, to be honest. Though it is Halo, so I'm looking forward to it.
I'll end my talk about E3 here cause I don't think that anyone is interested in it anymore :roll:
Kingdom Hearts II has been the only game that I've played this last week. I haven't played much, but I'm now trying to get the Ultima Weapon and leveling up Sora. I wanna beat Sephiroth. I won't try the proud mode just yet, cause I need a better TV... urgently. I won't be able to stand that quality for much longer... More money I'll have to spend.
Moving on. Three weeks for my school to end. I can't wait! Summer holidays... I even have dreams about it... Now seriously, I'm really tired. This year was not hard, just really long. At least it felt that way...
Nothing more to add, I say goodbye to all of you.
See ya ;)
I haven't died... yet.

I know... I know I haven't been here for some time, and I know I haven't written anything here for a long time either. But to leave everyone happy (or not), I am alive.
Though almost dying. My KH2 is exactly 50 Km from me and I can't have it. Three days from Hong Kong to Oporto (a city in Portugal, near mine) and 3 days have passed (not counting the weekend) and no KH2 yet. Now tell me that I don't have reasons to say that Portugal is a retarded country. *sighs* This is killing me (I've said this countless times....).
Anyway, I've been busy with a lot of stuff. I'm not going to exaplain anything here, but let's just say that school and personal things are keeping me busy as hell.
A consequence of this: no gaming. Excluding Daxter that I play every once in a while, sometimes when I can't fall asleep... Cause yes, I got this game. And I must say, best game I've played in my PSP (I haven't played many games, but yeah...). And since I am an huge fan of the Jak and Daxter series, this game is my little treasure.
Killzone sucks. Killzone sucks as any other game. Thinking about finishing the game tortures me. But I'll do it (because I always finish all the games I play.... old habit).
As for Dragon Quest, I haven't even opened the box. Such a great game... It's a shame. But I didn't want to start playing it and then give up in the middle of it because of KH2. So I'll start playing it only during the Summer holidays, probably.
I guess this is all I have to say for now, see ya ;)
If all weekends were like this one...

Well. Not much happened since my last entry. My Spring Break will end this Tuesday, which sucks. I had some essays to do and all... but let's just say that I completely forgot so tomorrow it will be a damn busy day.
Moving on to another stuff (who wants to hear about school anyways?).
I spent this weekend in Lisbon, with my dad. As always, I enjoyed my time over there. The weather was great (much better than here in my city) and we did lots of stuff.
Saturday night we went to see one of the best movies that I've seen lately: V for Vendetta. I had heard good things about this movie and all but I never thought it would be this good. I really liked it, and I strongly recommend it.
When we arrived home that night I wasn't feeling all that sleepy and since there wasn't anything to do there, I decided to pick up one of my dad's DVDs and watch one. I had seen most of them, so I picked up and "old" one: You Got Mail (at least I think that this is how it's called in English, if my memory doesn't fail me). The movie was... just another movie. Nice to see. Nothing too big.
More... I also got two new games. We were in my favourite store, and as always I was in the games section, looking at some interesting ones. My dad came out of no where and simply said "Choose one". Well, what could I say? Hard choice, especially between Oblivion (Xbox 360) and Dragon Quest VIII (PS2). But I chose the second one, basically cause I'm still way too addicted to my Halo 2 on Xbox Live to play any other game in that system.
So yeah, Dragon Quest VIII is mine! Haven't played it yet, I don't even know if I should start it before Kingdom Hearts II arrives... Which hopefully will be sometime this week.
"And what's the other game you got then?" you ask (or not). I say: Killzone. Exactly. I've heard so many bad things about this game, that I wanted to see with my own eyes if it was possible to exist such a terrible game. And since it was REALLY cheap (never seen such a cheap game here...) I bought it (this time with my own money >_> ). Like Dragon Quest, I haven't still played it... We'll see. I have so many games to beat, that I'd need an whole week dedicated to games to beat them all. You're probably thinking that one week isn't all that much. But for me it is. Seriously.
Well... there's just one month and a half left to Summer holidays, then I'll get 3 months just for me. Yes!
Anxiously waiting for KH2.
See you all around there ;)
(Damn... this thing is long...)
