It's been awhile since my last post, but what can I say? Nothing has really been happening to me gamewise since my last blog posting. But now, I finally have something to post about. I guess I should stop talking about what I'm posting and just get to posting it. >.>

As the days grew closer to wednesday, the SSBB Round 1 deadline, I found myself sending Jewls555 (the person I was matched up with) messages and biting my nails waiting for a response. I was trying to get him in a match with me so we could play our round. If we didn't do so by the end of wednesday, our match's winner would be determined randomly by Titan, and I did not want to get knocked down into the loser's bracket because of some coin flip or dice roll. Jewls sent me a response, the first time I messaged him, saying that he could not play me that day and that he would attempt to do so the next day.

After checking both Gamespot and my Brawl Friend's list several times with no sign of Jewls, I sent him another message. asking if he would be able to play me that day, and his response was somewhat depressing. He told me that he could not play me that day and that if he could not find time by the deadline, he would forfeit. I do not like winning, or losing, by technicalities, but this was the only way. After three days, Jewls finally forfeited, moving on to the Round 2 winner's bracket. I'm not sure if I'll be able to survive very long in the winner's bracket, but I'm sure it'll be fun whether I win or lose. In fact, I may already have a good head start on my union ranking, all for the better eh?

But waiting around on my computer and Wii all day and night like someone with nothing better to do wasn't all I did this week. For three days I had my friend over, I'll just call him Marty because I don't want to use his real name. :)

Marty and I are both good friends and Brawl enthusiasts, although Marty is a Sony Fan and debates that the PS3 is greater than the Wii, with or without SSBB, and he does not own Brawl or a Wii. Therefore, he isn't very good practice, although playing him is better practice than playing against a bunch of computers. Anyways, after a few hours of Brawl on the first day of his visit, we decided to see what else was in the room, and we found my copy of LoZ: Twilight Princess for the GameCube. After slapping in my old GC memory card and finding Marty's old file, we continued from where he left off (A little less than halfway through the game.) and beat it in three days (yeah that is a long time, but how much we actually played it was very spread out.) and I realized just how much I loved this game. Today I started a new file (named Link of course. :)) and I am currently trying to beat it with 100% completed (all the heart pieces, poe souls, golden bugs, etc.). I am really enjoying the experience and finding some things from the game I've never seen before (Or don't remember from the last time I beat it. XP)

Well, good night everyone. :D

Last night was my first game night, and the third one for the union (The Nintendo Wi-Fi Ranked Gaming Union, I still haven't figured out how to get links on here so just look it up if you're interested in joining. :P) It turned out to be based on SSBB, which is an odd coincidence because SSBB is the only game that I have that can use Wi-FI O_o. After hours upon hours of playing SSBB and having a blast, Titan made an announcement. He said that the ranking system is going to be reset, the current top 8 will participate in a special tournament for the supremacy of this season, and that the union 32-man tourney would mark the beginning of a new season. This news was mostly exciting, but somewhat depressing. I am currently ranked #12, only four away from competing in the tournament, but its understandable because I'm new to the union and my first few matches were all losses, I'm actually fairly proud of myself that I jumped up to #12 in one night. An upside is that Lunar did make it in, well sort of. He tied for number 8 with tocool340, both with 25 points. All Lunar has to do is beat tocool340 and he is officially in the tourney. Lunar, if you're reading this, I'm rooting for ya bud!

I am, however, signed up for the tournament that's going to start off the season. I'm hoping to get a head start on my rank and perhaps get into the top 8 and stay there for the next post season tournament. Titan is giving everyon the ability to sign up for when they want to fight. I'm going to sign up for the earilest one possible, although pretty much everyone in this union is on when it's close to eight over here, so that may not be very early. Well, that's all I'm going to write. I'll keep writing about my video game life in this blog, even though I have probably two readers now. XD

See you all later! :D

Well, this would be my second day on Gamespot. I must say, this is a much better site than I expected. This site has just about everything I've been asking for in a gaming site; writing your own reviews, a large forum, and even the ability to write a blog! Not to mention I found this wonderful union called "The Nintendo Wi-Fi Ranked Gaming Union", they welcomed me with open arms and I was able to almost immediately start playing SSBB with a couple of the members. I didn't do so well, but I think that I have gotten better from the experience, not to mention it was a blast! I played Lunar52 and Warcrafted for an hour or two before I went to bed. I'm having some trouble getting a sig, I use FireFox so I can't paste anything in my sig.:? This is frustrating because I need to advertise the union and the 32-man SSBB Tourney, but I'm sure I'll get my way around it eventually.

Well, my future blog postings will be about my video game life, but this seemed a good way to start it all off.

See you all later! :D
