The MLB All-Star Game

Even though today is E3, I don't put as emphasis since it's only a press conference

Well today is the 77th All-Star game and it was an interesting game. The game really boiled down to the end with the AL winning 5-4. They are now 10-0-1 in the last 11 games which continues their dominance

July 4th's Hot Dog contest

Ok, today is July 4th, so Happy Independence day!

So today, is the Nathan's International July Fourth Hot Dog Eating Contest and this contest was crazy since people were stuffing hot dogs down their throats. Joey Chestnut who won by eating a record breaking 66 hot dogs over the former champion Takeru Kobayashi who ate 63. Both contestants broke the old world record of 53 and 3/4 and the world record of 59 and 1/2. I never expected both of them to break the record at the same time or the contest tobe that close. It was a great show.

Gamespots new rating sytem

Today, Gamespot will replace the old system where games were rated by categories with a system that just rates games by .5 increments. I think this new system is just a respose to fanboys arguing scores in the forums. With games getting 8.8 or 8.9, Gamespot could avoid the backlash by posting a score of 9.0. Because of this, we can't judge a game within the same score range anymore which is one reason why I'm against it.

On the other hand, the old system is kinda flawed because the site chooses what to give a game even though it really doesn't deserve it which might be a good thing to have the new system. I believe that Gamespot no longer wants to distinguish games by scoring a game a higher than another. For example, Burnout legends got a 9.1 while Burnout Revenge got a 9.0. The reason why gamespot gave Burnout legends a higher score was because of better sound, but what we really know is that Gamespot deliberately gave the game a higher score to show a difference which goes back to the old system being flawed. Other games that could be looked at could be God of War 2(9.2) and God of War 1(9.1), or even Metal Gear Solid 3(8.7) and Splinter Cell Chaos Theory(8.6). Then again, when did gamesites care about what people thought about their reviews?

A new Level! Level XL

Today I reached level 40. Too bad because I am about 250 posts short of 20,000 so I'll have to have a seperate blog for that. Anyway,I also uploaded 100 images at the same time if you want to sheck those out.

Future plans about me, my videos(SC and MK), and my games

Ok, so I finished school last month since I'm in college. I recently appilied for a Teaching Assistant position at my college and was accepted to work for them in the Fall. I'm still waiting to see if I could work for them during the summer which would fill my time up. My brother and I both enroll to a summer class on financialing on Sundays so its going to fill up some time as well.

As for games, I recently been playing StarCraft, Sim City 4, and Oblivion. I'm getting closer to beating Oblivion(which I already put over 110 hours into the game already) and maybe I should since its taking up space in my computer. I also need to finish Bully(which I stop playing) since I'm in the last chapter of the game(I stop playing because I was in school during the Spring) and my brother since he's getting closer to finishing school, will be able to play Final Fantasy XII, Dragon Quest VIII, Fable

I hope to write a review for Bully, Oblivion, and possbly Sim City 4(if I'm in the mood) since I haven't wrote a review in a long time. I'm also having some trouble getting my ideas to gether too which is preventing me from writing them in a long time. My brother hopes to write a review for Devil May Cry 3 since we promise to write one a while ago but never had the time.

As my my videos, I plan to finish uploading the rest of the StarCraft speed runs and maybe after that, the Broodwar ones. I know haven't been uploading any Mortal Kombat videos of late but I am definately not done uploading hem as of now. I plan to upload some Mortal Kombat Deadly Alliance endings as well as some fatality videos as I did in the past after I finsih the StarCraft videos. For a rough date, I say I'll be uploading Mortal Kombat videos in July.
