November 2010 Monthly Blog [the first of many dull ones, fair warning]

So as most of you might know not much to be reported in the coming months, but i'll try to:P

Gaming

Nothing much at all..no purchases and only one rental:? Assassin's Creed: Bloodlines. Nice PSP game that feels and looks alot like the first AC game. Gives alot of backstory for Maria(for those who played AC2). Makes me wish my PS3 was working so i could rent Brotherhood:?:( Put down $10 for Dragon Age II and plan on buying Mass Effect 2 for PS3 regardless of if its fixed so i have them when it is:) Yup, thats it:?

TV

Started watching this new show on Wednesday's called Human Target(based on the comic book HT) pretty good for being based ona one shot book that never got off the ground:)

Life

My last final exam is the 18th so i really hope i get that RetroN 3 you save me from bordum:| If my financial aid goes through for my next semester i plan on getting a 320GB/move bundle and a itouch...it all comes down to if i pass at least 1/2 mycIasses(grr) this semester:?:?

Yeah, not much. All of your blogs are keeping me sane..keep them coming:P

Need some advice on retro selection

  • ( Note: tags will be at the end of this thing)

OK, so since i can't always on current tech. consoles, i aiming to get a RetroN 3 Gaming console before i repair my current ps3 and replace so i can have a back up..also thinking of getting GBA and start recollecting GBA/GBC games:)

First of this is what the RetroN 3 is: Its a console remake of sorts. It plays NES, SNES, and Genesis(Sega) games..it even plays Genesis in S-video(something thats hard to do). It comes with a wireless controller capable of being used for all three games, although the system lets you play with the origonal consoles controllers:o I have fond memories of those days:) So lets get down to business people:D :

  • If i rememer so, neither of these 3 systems(NES/SNES/Genesis) games are saveable(ie, game saves). is this correct? I don't really care, but i do want to know a head of time.
  • Anyone have ANY recommendations, remember its been awhile:| Any and all suggestions are welcome and accepted for all 3, i'll pick and judge those suggestions myself.

And for those of you wondering, i'm still planning on fixing my PS3 and getting a new one, i'm not THAT crazy:P:lol:

My last blog says why i'm doing this, its the one before this:)

Look forward to your responces, C|a$$ics(this error really irks me, its pointless) never die!!!:D:D:D

how can we come so far, yet fall so flat?

Okay, so i am in very baaaaad place right now. I am not to be trifled with right now:| To understand my current state of mind i must tell you all a story that spands 3 generations of gaming pleasure.

Generation 1: The Birth of PlayStation

In 1994, my uncle had a very bright idea: to buy me a PlayStation for Christmas. Before this i had a slight interest in gaming, i owned a SNES, as did my god-brother..although he also had a NES. We would playDuck Huntand Street Fighter II When ever we were together. But when we both got PlayStations in '94, we both became hardcore players overnight, my first was Crash Bandicoot, i would own that same Playstation until 2001, nearly 7 years later. And it was by choice that i got rid of it.

Generation 2: A New Millenium,A New Begining

The year is 2001, the Month is November. Its a few days before my 12th birthday, and I Have A Dream:P No seriously:| i drempt i was playing a PS2(something i not yet had) a few days later i get it as a present:o My first game for itwas Ratch & Clank. The PS2 advanced my game astronically, its where i played my first Shooter, RPG, Sports game, and even my first real action game. But wasn't all button-mashing and trigger pulling, around early to mid 2005, my PS2 hadn't played DVD's for about 6 months-1 year. Gamestop was running some kind of deal where trading in an old PS2 got you half off a slim model so i took it. I would continue to own that PS2 until December 27, 2007.

Generation 3: Enter Hard-drive, Exit Patients

On December 27, 2007..i bought a PlayStation 3, my crowning acheivement. Or so i thought. During this past summer(July 2010) I saw something that astounded me, shocked my very core, and horrified me: i got the Yellow Light of Death(YLoD). From then until October, I was without my PS3 and was forced to rely on my PSP and DS. When i got it back i was soo happy, i got my baby back:P I was able to play Tekken 6 again, i was able to meratly attempt to catch up on games i missed(although i was behind to begin with), then tomight my heart skipped a beat.....it happed, AGAIN!!!!!!:evil: Now with no cash flow to my name, i am forced to again bide my time till i can send it to get it fixed again, and hopefully by then i also have the funds to get a new PS3 and transfer my data over to the new system.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Now while i have plenty to be mad about in this regard, this is not the point of my rant. If you'll notice, in my story, the lifespan of each console deminished from the lifespan of the last even though the technology advanced significantly compared to the last. Now with the tech. of the PS3, how is it that its lifespan is shorter than the one of the PS1. It astounds me, that tech that has come so far can last so little. Even computers last significantly less than they used to. OK, thats it i'm done:):( So don't be shocked if you don't see me on my system for a while:? So don't send me any messages or any kind of request. When i get my current model fixed, i'm gonna pack it away and wait til i get a better model so i can transfer the data. Also, thanks to this, my "Monthly" blogs will hold no PS3 related news or updates til further notice:|

See ya around;)

A few post Birthday buys + Union Promotion

First things first: after getting lots of bday pre-paid Visa's & cash..i made my semi-annual visit to GameStop:D

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Now for some business: This union i'm withThe PS3 Exlusives Unionhas lots of members..just not many active ones:? the unions leader @splinter_girl88his great but, midterms and finals take her away from it(something i can relate to) we really need members who you know, actually come more than once a week. Spread the word, or better yet join. The union is for more than PS3 owners, its for anyone who loves the PS3, or loved the PS2 or PS1
