First I will start off by saying MERRY CHRISTMAS to everyone! So Santa went off the hook this year and brought me Call of Duty 3 and an EBGames giftcard with enough to get another game :D Awesome!!!! Thanks Santa! 8) Oh! And I also got 1600 Microsoft points! Sweeeeet! What games did you guys get? Anybody up for an online game???

Finally level 15 and I am not planning to just stop there. Hopefully there will be many more levels to come. As usual playing video games like crazy, there's a reason for it to be my favorite Hobie :D What Can I say... This weekend I got back on Oblivion and I love it. Speaking of that I think that game could've gotten GOTY (Game of the Year) if it wasn't because the lag and glitches. I must say something I have been thinking. If you give GOTY to a game with lag an glitches then it does set the standards lower. Then it's like saying that glitches and lag and all this issues that need to be fixed are okay as long as the game is good. Do you guys get my point?

Level 15 - Nobunaga's Ambition - A classic KOEI historical simulation RPG for the NES set in 16th-century feudal Japan, which has been updated recently in online form for the PS2. 

From Convivial  to Popular.

Popular. Like, totally. Chances are you know individuals who are popular, and if you don't, chances are you wish you did. You wish you could be just like them, don't you? They're the ones who always score the touchdown. They're the ones who always get the girl. Or the boy, as the case may be. Those people and their winning smiles with their bright, white teeth and their clever jokes and their laughing and their personalities and their charm! What makes them so special, huh? What do they have that I don't have, why don't you tell me?!

I am seriously considering to create my own union. I will run gears more towards FPS games and XBOX 360, but it will be open to all consoles including PC's and game generes. So far I don't have a name yet, but am thinking... I also will need very active members and officers I can count on. Officers that I can rely on to bring great news and keep the union active and interesting, gamers that will take the position seriously and honor their position. I will do so myself. Who's interested? Also for officer positions, send me PM letting me know you are interested on the position and what can you bring to this union as an officer. Please leave honest feedback so I can decide if is worth to get this union running. Ideas are also welcome!

If you say it... You better mean it...

• Requirements: Estimated, 500 different tags or more.
• Difficulty (to obtain): Very Difficult

• Comments: One step away from the highest Emblem in the "Tagger" category.

It took me a while to get this one. I guess it was a glitch or something since I made the 500 tags about two weeks ago. I have 610 tags right now. When they say very difficult they mean it lol.

Yup... I got UNO and I like it. Anybody wanna play?
 

  Am still alive and still gaming! I know haven't been posting a lot of blogs lately so I decided to do a little update. This weekend I will be playing Marvel Ultimate Alliance for the 360 and some Battlefield 2 MC and GRAW in between.

  Last Thursday I tuned in for the Best and Worst gamespot awards, and I must say it was an awesome show. Great categories and great nominations. I was surprised to see games on some nominations such as Best Graphics artistic and they had Loco Roco,  of course Gears of  War is gonna win that one. And for most improved sequel they had Madden 07, no way! Oh well.. That's just my opinion. For those of you who didn't watch it Uno made it to the nominations for best multiplayer along with GOW (big surprise :roll:) For best downloadable console MK3 and Super Mario 64 are in. (I can't decide!)  The show will re run some time soon I think so if you missed the first time you will have another chance. I wrote all the categories down so if you have a question about a category let me know. I don't have all the nominee's though.

  Let's take a moment to remember and show our respects to James Kim who past away. Senior editor of CNET, husband and father. Even though I never personally met him I used to watch some of his CNET videos, he will always show us this gadgets and new technology. Always working for CNET and all the users that visit the site. He's place will never be replaced. May his name never be forgotten. He past away as a hero trying to save his family. So let's remember him as what he was a HERO. My respects and condolences to his family and friends. May his soul rest in peace forever.

Success is the word for this image! :D

Now... Isn't that lovely? I made it! After constantly trying and even getting frustrated. Today I got on the Bungie site without a problem or any lag and registered for the Halo 3 Beta. But that wasn't until this morning. Yesterday was just  chaotic. I must say I saw all sorts of issues going on yesterday and as I thought the site was barely able to handle the millions of users trying to register. Now all I have left to do is sit and wait to see if I am lucky enought and I get to try that beta, hopefully I will. Did you guys register? How was that?

In general it seems less unlikely to see a high amount of reviews for XBL arcade games, mostly games such as Halo will have all the reviews and will be more likely to be read. However, I love Jewel Quest and decided to make a little review, there is not much to say about a puzzle game but I still managed to pull this together.
