How could I have Forgotton!

Well I was tidying up my room today, when I came across my PSP case and in it lye a dusty PSP. I brushed it off and got out Portable Ops and begun playing it again, I fell instantly in love with Portable Ops all over again. I ranked up over 100 hours before Christmas, but then when the PS3 entered i isntanly forgot about my PSP, you couldn't really blame me but I haven't played it since Christmas. Also the fact that I was talking so much about getting a DS I was making my self think that the PSP is bad, well I shouldn't have done that and Belive me I'm going to be spending alot more quality time with my PSP from now on. But thats not what I'm blogging about, I'm blogging about the fact that for one of the first times ever I've forgotton about nthe new Metal Gear Solid games.

As I was so into Portable ops again I looked up on Amazon about Metal Gear Solid Portable Ops Plus, well I thought that it wouldn't be released for another month or so. But to my suprise it's being released on the 28th of March, thats two days away! Why am i not happy you ask? well the fact is I have no money, none at all, I mean I spent it all on that ocarina and now I'm not going to beable to get it for a couple of weeks. Some of you may call me impatient but the Metal Gear Solid series is my favorite gaming series ever, and knowing that it's out there in the UK and other people will be playing it and talking about it will drive me crazy! And to top it all of Metal Gear Solid Digital Graphic Novel 2 is being released on the 30th of March accoriding to Amazon, thats 4 days away! I have been looking forward to these games for ages and now I won't be able to get them for some time, but I do have a plan.

Well both of these games are thankfully going to have a budget price, each game will be about £10-£15. This is because Portable ops Plus isn't really a game, it's pretty much a multiplayer game with a small single player mode. And Digital Graphic Novel 2 Sons of Liberty isn't really a game, more of a comic. 9With Voice acting this time round) Anyway my plan. I have about £2.00 on me and I'll be getting £5.00 pocket money on Friday, so thats £7.00. I also still get to give back God of War, Mortal Kombat Advance and my GBA which I will give back to Gamestation and NOT to Chips. I don't know how much Gamestation will give me but I hope it's alot, as I fear it won't mass up to £30.00 I am going to dig deeper and give back a PS3 game.

Now this game isn't really bad, it's a really good game but I guess the demo of it just won me over. Theres too much loading, the online mode is complicated and hard to actully get into a game and also racing isn't really my type of game. Yep you guessed right, I'm going to give back MotorStorm. If I later decide I regret getting rid of it I'll just have to wait for Motorstorm 2 which is coming out soon. All of that should be enough to get Portable Ops Plus and DGN2.

I will be getting Portable Ops Plus on a Saterday which is only a day after it's relase so i won't have to wait long, DGN2 is going to be released on a Sunday, and the only way I can get to the Game shop is with my dad since he drives. But he is going away on a work thing all of next week so I may just order it over the internet, prefrably Amazon. Then belive it or not when i have them both I'll have a total of 11 Metal Gear Solid Games, the only ones I don't have are the two ones for the NES and Snakes Revenge. But i do have them both on the extra disc with Subsistance so if you like I'll have 13, I'll let you know on how that goes in the coming days.

Seya Real Soon!

I'm now offically a union video maker

Yes, I have done some great character tributes and game tributes but I have been told that my best video's are my union videos, so now I'm going to focus all my attention on making union videos. If anybody knows anybody who wants a union video made for there union then tell them that FredGoon will do it, also if you want one made for your union all you must do is ask and I'll make it straight away. To make it offical I have made yet another union video, it is a union vieo for my friend kiers union "Dead Zone". I hope he like's it and I think I really got the music right. (Finnaly) Please post comments and enjoy. In other news I am waiting around for my Ocarina to arrive, it was supposed to arrive today but I haven't got it yet, i really hope it arrives tommrow so I can begin practising. I'll let you in tommrow on if it arrives or not, but untill then I'll seya!

N64 Mission Over and My Video's Are Back.

I knew in the end I'd never see it through to the end, I just didn't think I'd finish it so soon. The truth is when I started I thought I would have loved all of the N64 games, but the other day i did a checklist of all of them, and I only really wanted to get about 20 of them, so that means I would have got over 200 games which I wouldn't have liked. So I have decided to end it here and now, it is a good console still and I'm happy with the games that I have, I may still get N64 games occasionaly but I won't get every single one. I'm also at Chritsmas going to get a Nintendo DS, as you may recall i also said I'm gonna get every single Nintendo DS game, thats also scrapped now. I'm not going to force myself to get every single ones even the ones that I don't like, I'm just going to get the games which I will like, that makes much more sense.

So what shall I try and collect now, well I don't think I am going to try and collect anything new, I'm just going to contuine with the stuff I am already collecting. I am a Metal Gear Solid Collector, Ratchet and Clank Collector, Cuddly Toy Primate Collector and And Angel Collecter. Theres probbaly other stuff that I don't know but they shall do for now.

In other news i managed to Fix Windows Movie Maker yesterday, I've been up all night making video's that I promised to make for people aaaaaages ago, and I never got round to it untill Windows Movie Maker and my PC broke. But now I am back and plan to make alot more, I already have plans to make a Horror video for my friend Kiers Union, a school union for Balmungs Union, an Ac!d video for Balmungs other union and hopefully alot more character tributes. Here is my first new one which is a union video for The Mature Gamers Union, please enjoy. [video=IXM7lmH-5b0Muzfa]

PS: I have reccently been writing alot of reviews, be sure to check some of them out :D

Change of Plan...

Well...Today has been a day of saddness, anger and now joy, wanna know why. Well if you may recall I was going to buy an offical Zelda Ocarina.

Yea this one, well if things would have been diffrent I may have ended up with this, but for alot of reason I didn't. When I started this day I had £3.00, just lose change all over my room and I was going to get £5.00 pocket money. That Ocarina was about £20.00 so I needed more money, so I decided to go give back some games (Oblivion, Mortal Kombat and GOW) and my GBA, omg what a waste of time. When i give them over the shop counter he first of all said that he'll give me £10.00 store credit for it or £5.00 cash, I was like WTF!!! He said that he won't give me any money for the GBA since i forgot to bring the recharger so he'd said he'll take it for free or I could have it back, I most certainly wasn't going to give it away for free so I took it back. Then he said that he wouldn't give me any cash for GOW and Mortal Kombat just store credit for £1.00 each, and he said that he would give me £8.00 store credit for Oblivion or £5.00 cash. So, in the end I gave back Oblivion for £5.00 and took with me all my other stuff, that shop has gone way downhill, next week I'm gonna go to GAME and get like £7.00 cash for all of those games. If I would have waited I coulda got like £15.00 cash for Oblivion at GAME but I want that Ocarina now. (Yes I'm quite impateint.)

So, there i am sitting t home with £13.00, not enough to buy it and I'll have to wait 2 weeks untill I can afford it, I'm not willing to wait that long. So I searched on Amazon and found another Ocarina that was £8.85 with Post and Package included, it has 6 holes, and everybody said that this one is one of the easiest to play. And it has a little cord attached to it so i can put it round my neck, It's made of Ceramic so it can easily be broken, so it's not some plastic rubbish its top of the range, its called Atlas Large Ceramic Ocarina.

Atlas Large Ceramic Ocarina

Ok so it may not have the Tri-Force symbol on it but it still is practically the same, its not a traverse (Sweet Potatoe) Ocarina it's a Pendant Ocarina. It's a hell of alot cheaper too, and so what it dosn't come with a book I'll get some songs of the internet, and possibly some tips from the Ocarina Guru as I call him from You Tube. He can play very good tunes on a pendant Ocarina and I hope I'll be able to play them too, please look at both these links and see what I'll be-able to do on the Ocarina.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2FQr6CxRgvc&feature=PlayList&p=77DDAE3112B657E3&index=6 Lon Lon Ranch (Epona's Song)

Well I'll do another blog when it arrives, I'll upload some pics and tuff like that, well seya real soon!

All I need now is Link's Tunic!

I have been told to be quite boring, I don't have much hobbys apart from playing games, watching TV, Reading Books and writing thats pretty much it. So my parents want me to learn how to play a musical instrument, while they were telling me this I was playing The Ocarina of Time. So I turned round and said, I want to learn how to play an Ocarina, and they said yes! They'll put some money towards it, I just need to come up with 3/4 of it, so I need to come up with most of it but i'm actully pretty exited.

I never knew there were so many variations of the Ocarina, theres Multi Chambred Ocarina, Inline, Pendant and the one I want to get Tranverse. (Sweet Potatoe.) They all are diffrent to, but I have ofcourse decided to get the same one thats in The Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time, and actully I will, heres a picture.

Just look at it, it's so shiny! And it's got a little TriForce symbol on it and best of all it's blue, the same colour as the one from the game. I am having trouble aqquiring it though because it's not on Amazon UK but it is on Ebay, but I don't really like Ebay that much, but it is pretty cheap at a cost of £20.00. However it will be used, and sombody else's mouth must have been on it so i'd clean it. It also comes with an official Zelda Songbook and I'll beable to learn how to play the Song of Time, Zelda's Lullaby, Market Song, Epona's Song, Saria's Song, Minuet of the Forest, Serenade of Water and Bolero of Fire.

And it gets better, most musical instruments take a very long time to learn one song, well alot of sites claim the Ocarina to be an easy instument to master, it may take about 3 months but I'm willing to put in the effort. The one I will buy has 6 or 8 holes, I'm not too sure, so it shouldn't be that hard. I already have £5.00 and I'm giving back 3 games this weekend, Oblivion, God of war and Mortal Kombat Advance. And to get the most money I'm willing to give away my trusty GBA, but as I'm getting a DS for Xmas I'll just use my sisters GBA to play my games if I want to. I'll probbaly get a choice of £40.00 store credit or £20.00 cash, I'm willing to give up that extra £20.00 just to get this magnificant instrument.

So when I get it and actully get good I'm going to buy a webcam and film myself playing, that way we can all share the loverly songs I produce,. there is this one guy on You Tube who is absoltly wonderfull and he makes me want to get it even more, here are some links to his songs he has played.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c44KJ0n1uEc&feature=user Lulaby

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OMF1WFZ--OA&feature=related Saria's Song

Now you gotta admit he is good! Well watching him makes me want to get it soooo badly, I'll tell you how it goes in the following days. In much smaller news My Mom got me and my sis Mario and Sonic At the olimpies (Very Boring cannot even be bothred to spell it right)

Well I hope you think I'm doing a good thing, seya real soon!

Easter Plus N64 Update

Well, atlast it is here, one of my most favorite holidays, Easter. I love Easter so much because I get 2 weeks and 6 days off and to do what, eat lots of chocolate :D. Also I will get alot of gaming done this Easter,and I mean alot of gaming. I hope to complete Uncharted: Drakes Fortune, Marvel Ultimate Allience, Mario Galaxy and hopefully some of my new games. Ah yes they arrived, all four of them, but unfortantly Donkey Kong 64 needs an expanion pack to play, I'll be getting one shortly but untill then I have alot to keep me busy, ok so heres whats been going on.

Diddy Kong Racing: Well this is actully very good, I thought it would be just Mario Kart 64 done badly, but boy was I wrong. You can chose from lots of characters inlcuding some well known ones and Conker, Banjo and my favorite Diddy. I personly thought I'd love Banjo, but he has terrible control so I think I'll stick with good old Diddy. And even more to my suprise this game has an adventure mode, even with boss battles, that took me by suprise. I'll defantly be playing this game and I'll let you know on how it goes.

Goldeneye: Well I knew what to expect when I ordered this, just a pure classic, and I was right. It is just so addictive and from the very first leval you are thrown right into the fray of battle, very exilerating. The graphics are actully better than I had hoped, I didn't thing they'd be that clear and thats the same as the music really. I love the sound of the bullets, but somthing that always makes me laugh is the assult Rifle, it looks like a pencil

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time: Well have already owning it (On the Collectors Edition) I knew what to expect, everything was just as I remembered it. Great graphics, loverly sound and just a big wow facot, I mean I still don't know how all te area of the game can fit onto the cartidge. Although the cartridge is very heavy compared to my other ones, but this was defantly a good addition to my soon to be big collection.

Well I hope you all have a nice Easter too, also at the top of my screen I've added a little thing and it shows how many N64 games I've got. There are 242 N64 games in total that I can buy, the rest are all exlsuive to other countrys, tell me if you like it!

Well Seya Real Soon!

My N64 Mission Has Started

For the past month all I could think about was the DS, I've watched a review for almost every DS game ever made, I've been hyping myself up and up but alas, it's no use. As I am not getting paid at work I tried to get a job working at a after school club, but they said no, how could they turn me down, I mean me! I now know that I'm not going to be getting a DS anytime soon, I asked my mom and dad and they said they'll get me it for Christmas. So what do I do now you ask? Well I have decided to finnaly start one of my dreams, I want to own every single Nintendo 64 Game ever created, yea I know, I'm quite mad!

But actully it all kinda makes alot of sense, I get £5.00 a week, (pocket money) and N64 games are actully quite cheap down at one of the game shops I visit. There prices range from £2.00-£12.00, so every week or so I could just go buy a N64 game, or if they run out I'll order them of Amazon. If you may recall my original mission was to get every DS game, but this is far more realistic. In total there are 387 N64 games, with 83 of them being exlusive to Japan and 42 exlusive to North Amercia. So That leaves me with 262 N64 games that I can buy, and I'm going to buy every single one of them.

Right now I have 6 N64 games, Mario Kart, Banjo Kazooie, Banjo Tooie, Mario 64, Starwars: Shadows of the Empire and Super Smash Brothers. I feel quite sad for not getting them back in the day, because the N64 has always been my favorite console, alothough I don't always admit that to my friends it's true. Some of you reading this think why is this my favorite console, I mean it has no online, not much games in compariosn to other consoles and the fact that they take cartridges instead of discs. But, in my opinion the N64 is the best console to play with friends because it has such good multiplayer games like Goldeneye, Mario Kart and Super Smash Brothers. It also has some of gamings best games such as The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, Banjo Kazooie, Donkey Kong 64, and Perfect Dark. And I actully prefer catridges to discs, I mean this may sound silly but showing off my N64 Cartridges is alot better than showing off some disc. And discs break very easily, it's gonna be hard to break the N64 Cartridge.

I've made this mission officla because just now I ordered 4 N64 games off Amazon, yea 4! I ordered The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, Donkey Kong 64, Diddy Kong Racing and Goldeneye. All of them pure classics! I already have The Legend of Zelda: Collectors edition but I really wanted it on N64, and I am still going to get Diddy Kong racing on DS, but the DS version dosn't have Banjo or Conker!

Well in other smaller news my sister bought The Elder Scrolls Oblivion: The Game of The Year Edition, this means next week I can give back the original game and get more money to spend on N64 games, it will never end hehe! Also Super Mario Galaxy is going well, I really enjoy it but I don't think it deserves to be called the best game in the world, if I ever review it, it will be getting 9 ish.

Well I'll seya real soon!

"Brushes Dust Off Wii"

For you who may not know, I am a Wii owner, sadly I hardly ever use it because there I only own 3 Wii games and the last time I bought a Wii game was Agust the 2nd I belive. So as you can see there isn't much incentive for me to play it, but atlast I have finnaly bought a Wii game, but not just any Wii game. It has gone by many names, "Best Wii Game" "Game of the Year", yes it's Mario Galaxy.

It started out a couple of days ago when my mom's work got Mario and Sonic at the Olimpiques. My mom really thought the game was going to be good as a family game so decided she was going to buy it, she went to Tesco yesterday and sadly they had sold out. But what she came home with instead is alot better, Mario Galaxy. I cam home yesterday evening and I had just finished my work which was very tireing that day because I had to do alot of teaching. I went into the living room and I saw Mario Galaxy sitting on the side, I was very tired so I actully thought I was dreaming lol. Well when I woke up the next morning I went downstairs again just to make sure it was really there and it was, sadly however I had to go to school. It was torture, the day went very slowly and for most of the day i was talking to my mate who had got it but that just made the day go slower. I've only just finished playing it now and it sent me on a trip down memory lane.

First of all let me tell you that this game borrows alot of things from prevoius games, for example. Bowser kidnapping Princess Peach's castle and lifting it into the sky, same happen in Paper Mario. And alot of the feel of the game reminds me of the good old Mario 64, and it's thankfully better than Mario Sunshine. The gameplay itself is very straightforward and even with the diffrence in controls it feels very natural. I like the idea of not being able to fall of edges because in most Mario games thats what killed me. I can understand why people call it easy because I killed the first boss in my first try rather easily, more updates still to come.

In other news i also got a late Birthday Present, £20.00, with the other £10.00 remaining thats £30.00. I'm thinking of saving up for MGS4 but I also feel like saving up for a DS, oh choices choices :P

Seya real soon!

My PSP collection might not be over as quickly as I had thought

With all this planning about me getting a DS I had tried to completely ignore every single PSP game otherwise I might get sidetracked and spend it on other PSP games, well now that my DS plans have been postponed due to me not getting paid at work my eye's have been wandering about the PSP section of Gamespot and I'm afraid I've found a game that appeals to me. This game is exlusive to the PSP and is not out yet, it's called Secret Agent Clank.

Secret Agent Clank in the timeline happens before Ratchet and Clank: Tools of Destruction and after Ratchet and Clank: Size Matters. The game starts off with Ratchet being fasley imprisioned, it's up to Clank and Qwark to get him out, yes Qwark! In the game you play mostly as Clank but sometimes you get to play as none other than Captin Qwark, and no this isn't going to be like the Qwark Vid Comics you actully get to play as him propably. He will have his own wepons, armor and gadgets just like Ratchet and so will Clank. It is called Secret Agent Clank for a reason, you will be dodging laser beems, going in casino's and ofcourse pulling of super cool moves in your super cool tuxedo.

The Game is expected to be released later this Year and I for one will be getting it, apart from Portable Ops Plus and Digital Graphic Novel 2 it is going to be one of the only PSP game's I'll be purchusing. Well below is the only trailer released and it dosn't give much, but it just looks so cool. Seya Next Week!

Gone so fast

My birthday money is now completely gone, all £60.00 of it. ($120) I bought Lego StarWars: The Complete Saga (PS3) for £39.99 and I also bought a SIXAXIS controller for £34.99, I didn't think controlers would be THAT expensive. I bought another controller so now me and my sister can play Lego Starwars Toegther and me and my dad Resistance together. (My sister paid some towards the controller too :P) I just completed the 1st Episode on LSW and it was just as I remember it, It looks kinda the same as our older PS2 version of it, just a bit shinyer but alot more extra features. It looks like this was a good buy and I'll be playing it alot for the rest of the weekend, along with other games, now for the updates on my other games.

Uncharted Drake's Fortune has to be one of my fav PS3 game's, I'm really enjoying it so far and don't have any complaints. The graphics are very good and so is the sound, and this game is quite funny too. The Puzzle's are quite challenging but thankfully there arn't lot's of puzzle's. Marvel Ultimate Allience is also a good game, I just finished the S.H.E.I.L.D stage and now I'm in Stark Towers. I will be playing this game alot to. Motorstorm, well it's not a bad game, the single player game is good and so is the multiplayer. But the multiplayer game's are hard to set up and it takes ages too, I'll just stick to the single player game for now. LocoRoco Cocorocho, what can I say, It's....diffrent. I can't say i'll be playing it for much longer, it's appeal wear's off quite quickly. But hey it was only £1.99, you can't go wrong. Now the flOw expansion pack, it added a new creature which is actully quite cool, it has spinning blades or somthing and it's fun to control. There are also some new enimies too and some are quite unquie, there is also a new multipler mode. (Another reason for the controller)

Well thats's all for now, nothing else really to say. Oh yea, my computer is fixed and now I can create video's again, but sadly not MGS since the site I used to get them off shut down. I'll be doing A Nariko Tribute, Willow and Tara Tribute, a Drake tribute and mabey a flOw video.

Seya!
