131: A quick little Blog, and Gamespot to IRL

Hey Guys, Just thought Id Drop a Quick blog about a few updates.

Im nearing 5,000 posts :) I may throw a little party in the All-Out Pokemon union :P

I plan to write a review soon, about what you say? Well im not exactly sure, I just know I wanna make another one :P.

Im kinda wanting new Profile art, but I got this right before my last absence. Oh I think I never thanked Pokemondude for this :P

Also a little question I wanted to ask you guys. How much does your Game(spotting?) translate to your real life? How many people know about your GS? How many IRL friends have a GS? Do you act the same here as you do IRL?

As for me My Gamespot really doesnt many anything IRL, Since not many people around here are gamers. My close friends know about my GS account so like 4-5 people. I have two friends with GS accounts, although they never use them. And I do believe I act very similarly IRL as I do on Gamespot. Although Ill say on GS I will be more serious sometimes then I really get IRL, and I also have more people I talk to regularly here. Most people in HS its the occasional Hi, wassup? Here most people I know are constantly taking part in discussion.

130:Snake? Snaaakkkkeee!

Hello everybody my name is...oh wait, I guess you guys might remember me. Well I know this is the millionth time you guys have heard this from me, but I am Back. But this time its kinda a different situation for me. Gaming has kinda hit a bit of a lull for me, like it seems to have for a lot of people. Im kinda dryed out on CoD, at least till MW3, Im enjoying Battlefield right now, but the beta will be over in a short amount of time. Ill still have BFBC2, but meh, you still get what Im saying right? Plus I gotta admit, I kinda miss all of you guys. I had (and hopefully still have) some pretty good friends on here. Were our own kinda of people on here. Its a gaming website, weve all got something major in common. Anyways thats a different blog for a different day.

I'd kinda like to explain why I havent been on in a while, and I can sum it up in two words

[spoiler] HIGH SCHOOL [/spoiler]

For those of you who dont know I am 14, I joined GS well...A little before I was supposed to, but I guess its all good now. Anyways, Our High School lets out an hour later than the K-8th grade schools did. And honestly, with my life an hour is a big loss. Id come home, Game till my dad got home, then after dinner and my shower, id get on the computer and get on Facebook and youtube. And that would end out my day, I would neglect my little Yellow and black G in my bookmarks, mainly because maybe the next Woodysgamertag video would come out or something like that. Or perhaps my "Girl" would get online and gone would be hours to talking to her with my full attention (there a bit of a "you shoulda expected that" story with that, that I will hopefully tell eventually. But the focus of the story here is I am now paying more attention to that G that I have missed so much, and the people that go along with it.

Something Id like to say right now is this. I am just coming back from all this break time, I kinda need to be caught up on everything. What unions are big at the moment? has anyone big that Ive known gone? Who's the new hotshots on the block? Im kinda in the dark, and Id love it if anyone who even pays attention to anything I say these days could fill me in, either in a PM or comment.

129: I havent been on in a while, I must have feel asleep-updates blog

Well thats all you'll hear about my level up to level 24 since I dont really care about GS levels a whole lot. anyways wanted to share a couple of things with you guys.

I Got myself a Steam ID, I am P0in7B1ank, or better yet here's a link. Literally the only games I have that are online via steam are Portal2 and TF2. I have a few demos of stuff, and DIrt 3 came with my graphics card (oddly enough). Anyways if you have steam add me :D

now for the sad part

My Turtle Beaches Broke :cry: They are PX21s, so there not exactly top of the line. But still its quite sad. THere not completly broken, but all low sounds and voices are completly non existent. I can still hear a lot of other stuff, but I love playing games with friends, so no voice sucks. Ill probably be getting a new headset befre too long, this time I wanted to try something different so Ill either do TRiiton AX pros or 720s. If I could get TB PX5s or Astro A 40s that would be epic, but geez, $250 for a headest? not happening.

Anyways Ill try to be more active here, although I get out of High School an hour later than I did middle school (2:30 to 3:30) then theres homework, then I am a gamer before a forum guy so theres that, then its usually like 7-8 pm and I may start chatting with someone and there goes all of my forum attention... :P

anyways guys peace out 8)

127: The Outlaw Returns-General Gaming updates, and Union charters

What do a old bandit seeking redemption, a bike courier who recieves a "Shocking" package, and a bold Treasure hunter have in common? Their all in games ive been playing. This blog will pretty much serve as an update to all of the games ive been playing latley and a call out for possible charters for my SOny/Nintendo union. Lets get started then.

Ive posted this a few times around union boards but the other day I beat inFAMOUS on the Hero side, and let me tell you this, inFAMOUS is an amazing game in nearly every way. It deserves the 9.5 I gave it and its made me super excited for inFAMOUS 2 when i can get my hands on it. Im currently playing back through as a bad guy, and while destroying everything in sight can be a lot of fun, it doesnt feel as good as being the hero. I know I mentioned this game in my last blog, but since this is a gaming update and my last blog didnt get a whole lot of comments due to the fact that nearly everyone had a 4th of july blog I figured id mention it again.

Ive also been playing Red Dead Redemption a lot, in fact it has took up most of my day today :P Just today I did the last 3 missions in mexico, all of the Blackwater Missions and the first Abigail and Jack missions in Tall Trees. And i dont know if youve heard this a million times from everyone but RDR is Epic and amazing, the story, characters, enviroment, and atmosphere of the game are outstanding. It is one of my Favorite game that I have played in a Long time and deserves the 10 I gave it, I dont even care about the bugs! :P I have a question for those who have got at least as far as I have. Just because it felt right I killed De Santa, Esquela, and allende all with a headshot via the weak ol Cattleman Revolver, I thought it was cool, using the very first weapon you get to finish off all of your hardest enemies. I was going to use it on Dutch but yeah... So my question is did any of you guys do anything special with finishing off those guys?

Last game im going to talk about is I have been playing Uncharted2 again, pretty much just because I felt like it. and yeah thats about it ofr UC2, no paragraph for it :P

Last thing I wanna bring up in this blog is my union I was planning on. Its a Sony/Nintendo union for people who have one or both companies systems, handheld or console. I am looking for charter members, I want people who are active, constructive, and can get along with a lot of people. I have big plans on what to do with the union, and a good set of officers is nessicary.

well thats pretty much it :P peace out

126: My Attempt at a Spectacular 4th of July Blog!

Got quite a few things to talk about in this one, Gaming updates, Movie Impressions, Life update, my Union Idea, and an update on getting into youtube. Lets hope I can write it all before I get too Distracted :P

Alrighty well to start off Ill talk about what Ive been playing latley.

I Finished inFAMOUS a couple of days ago and Ill tell you it was amazing, I played through as a hero and Im going back through as a villian now. I love the game and it makes me want inFAMOUS2 sooo bad. The story had me excited the whole way through and the gameplay even made some of the more boring tasks a lot of fun. I liked the system of getting powers, although I thought the rail/powerline riding should have been avalible form the start. The graphics werent anything terribly amazing but they were still quite nice. I loved how the cutscenes were in the comic book Format. It really added to the feel that you are a superhero, as I told my mom "think spiderman with electricity". :P I want to make one last comment on the story, but major spoilers here so only read if youve beat the game [spoiler] Kessler being cole was a pretty huge suprise, looking back I can see how that was kinda hinted on, but nevertheless it still made for a huge plot twist and it really drove home how epic this game was, I may even change my rating on here to a 10 :P [/spoiler]

Ive also been playing the Uncharted 3 Mulitplayer Beta, its really quite impressive. The graphics look really crisp, but what can you expect from a PS3 exclusive. I like how it plays, Im not a huge fan of the long time to kill but its pretty nessicary to keep all of the elements like platforming and such in play. Speaking of which the moving about and such is amazingly fluid and accesible especially for a early Beta. It feels like the Single Player of UC2 in that aspect. They've improved the Melee drastically from the Uncharted 2 multiplayer, but it still isnt quite as smooth as the single player Melee, but thats to be expected, as if it were Melee would be a bit...cheap. But anyways its a load of fun.

Today I saw Transformers:Dark of the Moon. I dont see why soo many people are hatin on it. I really enjoyed it. Apart from all the action and explosions my favorite part was how in the ending al of the good guys played a part equal to their importance in the story. It was quite interesting and lives up to the Transformers and Micheal Bay name.

Moving quickly onto the life update all I can say is, well...things are going great :D Theres been nothing spectaculiar going on but theres been nothing to complain about either. Ive been having fun this summer just goofin off and having fun however I see fit. Im also on quite a bit better terms with some people than I was while we were still in school. So its been going good, and Im glad about it.

I know a small few of you were interested in my looking into getting into the gameplay commentating stuff on youtube, and all I can say about that Is im still holding on waiting for the chance to get set up, Im saving for a computer and its coming along alright, it may be a bit before I can do anything but at this point its definetly looking good.

Now for the part I hope a lot of you are interested in, I plan to make a Union for all things with the two main Japaneese Gaming companies Sony and Nintendo. I decided to choose the two because well its where I specialize at. I plan to do quite a few things with the union. My main goals are to bring together many gamers from different areas of gaming, but areas that still get along. And to keep you guys informed, I hope to have news updates near daily and Very involved stuff as in Game nights, competitions and the like. I will most likley have a team of 4-5 officers at the start for the most part filling specific roles needed in the union. Ill fill you guys in more once I find out whos interested.

To end this unsusally long blog coming from me I would like to tell all of you guys here in America Happy 4th of July!

124: I have Gaming ADD

So heres my reasoning behind this. While PSN was down I was playing RDR like crazy, really getting into the story and wanting to finish, then PSN comes back and Sony releases the Welcome Back Package, I get inFamous and I get sucked into it leaving RDR to get dusty on my rack of games, then I got MW2 as a Bday present and it hasnt left my PS3. SO thats two games that Ive just completly left for something else. Haha I really wanna finish those but reaching commander in MW2 before MW3 comes out would be like :D But most of us know that RDR and InFamous both have Amazing stories that are very immersive.

Oh and once I get a new comp, Ill be playing a lot of Minecraft :P

Friday was kinda like, My Birthday

haha sorry for the late info, I just havent had a chance to get on the computer in a while :P Well Im here now so yeah.

Lets see I got a $20 dollar PSN card to get the new map pack for BO

I got $20 in Itunes cards

I got MW2 (its a nice change from Black Ops)

I also got about $150 in birthday money :D Ill probably use that to help my mom get me A Computer Ive been looking at. Its alright, and I wanna use it to do youtube vidoes of Gameplay commentary and stuff.

Wow Im getting way too distracted right now.

Ill just end the blog here then, sorry I havent been on much latley.

122: Are you thirsty?+Anyone up for some game lobbies?

You need a little revive?

haha I thought this was really cool :P

So anyways onto the main purpose of this blog. I know most of you guys are nintendo guys since I met nearly all of you in nintend unions but do any PS3 gamers feel like partying up sometime? I know I have a few of you in my friends list, but not a whole lot. The games Im looking for are Black ops (preferably zombies, althought I do not have escalation yet), RDR, or (I hope some of you have this) MAG

Wait, what? Did you just say mag? that game that came out a while ago that has 256 player battles? Does anyone still play that?

It seems that this is the resposne most MAG players get from people, its kinda sad, MAG is a really great game, even with its flaws. Its really fun to play with others in a Group/clan if they have mics. It really makes it great, sure some people say its like battlefield, which it is. But I just love it more than battlefield for some reason. so anyways, anyone up for some summer gaming? Leave you PSN in the comments and what times your on if your interested in playing with a Boss. :D
