W-w-w-w-warped Tour 08

I just got back from Warped Tour in San Diego, and it was much more satisfying then when I went to Pomona.

i saw (random order):
-bring me the horizon
-the devil wears prada
-all time low
-a day to remember
-the academy is...
-sky eats airplane
-from first to last
-every time i die
-3OH!3
-forever the sickest kids
-cobra starship

i probably missed a couple


i only met two bands this time around:
-sky eats airplane & the devil wears prada

i saw jeffree star though?



bring me the horizon was the first band i saw and
i was going pretty crazy whilst dancing in the pit
and it tired myself out the entire day

amazing day? oh yes.

Mission Accomplished: GTA IV

Just beat GTA IV, and I can honestly say that this game has quite possibly the best story I've ever seen in a video game.

I got the Liberty City Minute achievement with 5 minutes to spare.

Lucky? I think so.

Play me online.

XBL: supertoastLOL

New Game: GTA IV

I suck at posting blogs. I always forget to post them when necessary.

Hit me up on XBL for a good race, team deathmatch, cops n' crooks, or just free roam.

Happy Birthday to me :)

So my birthday was on Thursday and I forgot to blog about it because that's how lame I am. Here's a little recap of events and other stuff!

Thursday:
-I got my 16gb iPod Touch :) I love it so much
-I got money (woot woot)

Friday:
-Went to a show featuring The Devil Wears Prada, Silverstein, & A Day to Remember :)
-It was astounding

Saturday (today):
-Having a huge Rock Band/Super Smash Bros. Brawl/Halo 3 party at my house :)
-It'll be fun

Other days:
-I'm still expecting presents from friends, so there's still more to come :D

Super Smash Bros. Brawl... :)

It's finally here, after seven long years. Super Smash Bros. Brawl has been released :)

I went to my local GameCrazy around 11:30 to go pick up the game. Not that much people were there, yet, so we didn't worry. The store was only letting 2 to 3 parties in at a time, for some odd reason. When we finally got it, we put it in our Wii, and played the night away (and are still playing it!).

The Controls:
So far, I've only had a chance to use the Wiimote + Nunchuk configuration, and I must say, it feels great. A is single attack, B is special attack, Z is to guard, and the thumbstick is to move/jump/etc. If you're not feeling the control layout, you can always change it. Every single button is customizable.

The Game:
On SSBB's website, it was stated that 'If you're good at Melee, it will not help you at all in Brawl', which is true. The game has a new sort of feeling when playing it, primarily the gravity and how fast you move. One thing that remains the same (for the best) is the fast, frantic gameplay. New items, characters, levels, not to mention the fight for the Smash Ball all add to the quirkiness of the game.

The Levels:
There are many great new levels in this game. My favorites would have to be Pictochat and Warioware. These two compared to the rest, are the most creative. Some stages from Melee also return, such as Rainbow Ride. The level editor (although I haven't used it yet), looks pretty slick and intuitive in creating levels.

My Characters:
Over 30 fighters brawl in this game. My favorites would be Link, Fox, C. Falcon (once I unlock him), & Mario. I'm pretty sure I'll get new favorites over time (Snake? Sonic?), but as of now, it's those four.

The New Ones:
The starting new fighters are great. Pit, Metaknight, King Dedede, Pokemon Trainer, and more all have their ups and downs, but mostly ups :) I haven't played as all of the new characters yet, so I'll update this upon doing so.

Haven't tested yet:
A list of things I haven't tested out just yet.

  • Level Editor
    Nintendo WFC
    Subspace Emissary (brother & sister are doing so as I type this)
    All of the new starting characters
    All of the levels
    The sticker/trophy section
    Any single player mode

Oh yes a last note. If you're thinking about buying SSBB, stop thinking, and buy it.

Now.

Game beaten: Call of Duty 4

CoD 4
This is quite possibly one of my favorite video games stories, hands down. Lots of emotional appeal in this game, along with all the action makes it the best story I've seen in a video game ever.

Mile High Achievement
Quickly after beating the game, I already got the Mile High Club achievement (beat the epilogue on veteran difficulty). After 10 or so tries, I came up with my own strategy and got the achievement. If you need tips, hit me up.

Thoughts on the Epilogue
I was putting in some thought onto this topic and I think that this level might be hinting at the fact that Captain Price made it through (i noticed someone who sounded alot like him) and you play as Soap on this mission. I also think that this mission may also be hinting at Call of Duty 5. But that's just me. Hopefully, we'll find out soon enough.

:)

Merry Christmas everyone!

I hope everyone had an awesome Christmas and got loads of games!

I got Call of Duty 4 and I'm buying Assassin's Creed later today.

Non-gaming: New skateboard (enjoi!!), money, band t-shirts

I didn't get that much this year b/c Halo 3 and Rock Band both counted asa part of my presents.

but it's ok=]
