I'm Back Everyone!

I'm back from suspension:)

To everyone's blogs I missed, I'm very sorry and I'll post in the next one you make.

I would post a new vid, but I'll probably get modded;) :lol:

New Item! and Gamestop impressions

Before I get into the new item, I need to tell you something funny at gamestop.

When I used to go to my local Gamestop every weekend, they had a great group of guys working there. They told you the truth about games, give you their opinions on the games and the gaming industry(that was when they talked to me), even if you wouldn't buy anything, they still gave you the best service they possibly can. I always chatted with Matt, one of the emplyees who was the main decider on who they hire. We would talk all about games and which ones I should and shouldn't buy. Eventually, when I went there, they all knew me by name and said hi when I came there. It was really cool, and I asked him a few times how old you can be to get a job there. He told me 16(I just turned 15 at the time), so I couldn't work, but they always told me if they have an opening(at the time they didn't), but he told me that they would by the time I turn 16.

Eventually, Matt told me that he was going to work at the Apple store now at this other mall, which is cool. He told the manager and the assistant manager that when I become 15, they will hire me(no typo, he said 15). Unfortunately, after Matt left, they all started leaving(even the new people where gone). At the Gamestop now is a group of people who don't care about anything, but getting paid. Here's what happened 2 months ago.

I went to Gamestop and asked if you can use your GH1 controller for GH3. The guy(remember this is a new set of people) says no, and that I have to pay another $70. I told him that Red Octane stated that you can use your old guitar controller for GH3. He said that using the old GH controllers weren't working in the beta of the game. The next day, Red octane told GS that you CAN use your old controllers for GH3. I didn't even want to tell the guy that, because I would be showing him up, but I think it was cheap to try to make an extra buck, and mis-informing a consumer, which is bad for business.

This one just happened yesterday.

I went there to trade in some games I barely played.

Pokemon Diamond

Final Fantasy VI

Dirge of Cerberus

Final Fantasy 3(DS)

Megaman Battle Network 3: White

Gameboy Color system

The new group from the last event wasn't there. I went in and told them I wanted to trade in a few things. I gave them the games, and while they were teaching the new guy how to work things on their comp, he looked at my games and said, "so many FFs", in a way that was an insult. if you looked in his eyes, you could see that he meant to say, "so many FFs, get a real life and play a game like Halo or Gears instead of this crap."

NOTE: I am NOT insulting Halo fans or the series. I am not insulting Gears(which I need to get). I am also NOT insulting FF. You guys know I like FF.

I looked at him straight in the eyes and said, "yeah", but I gave the look that said, "yeah I play them, so instead of looking at me, why don't get off your imaginary high-horse, learn to work the comp, and give me my **********ing store credit, you hardcore gamer wannabe!" Let's say that he didn't talk for the rest of the time I was there. The assistant-manager(after this, I'm going to refer to her as AM) told me that they don't take the Megaman game, and I looked like "WTF?!", but I just said ok, and moved on. she then said that they can't take the GBC, and I said "really?!" The AM asked the manager what to do(some expert she is:roll: ) and the manager just asked her if she put it under systems. She had the dumbest look on her face, and was silent for most of the time, unless she had to talk to me to ask me some questions.

She was about to give me another EDGE card, but I told her to put it on my EDGE card I already have, and she did it. I got $67.50 from the trade ins and I'm going to save it for Lost Odyssey.

I then asked the AM if there was a job opening, and she paused for 3 seconds and said that she didn't know. i just took my credit and got out of there.

I told you all of this because i wanted you all to notice how the quality of Gamestop has changed. As a gamer, I was very disappointed with the service of the Gamestop now. I liked the old Gamestop, where they will tell you things in depth and help you out instead of just ignoring you until you have to get their attention(the AM actually passed in front of me before I could trade anything in).

Moving on, I went to Wal-Mart and I asked this employee about this media thing for the DS. We got into a big coversation about it and if it would work on my comp(Windows 2000 Pro), and he said it depends on the card reader, which the media thingcan run on 2000:D He was really helpful, so I asked him if I could buy it, which I did:) Here's what it is

Media dock

Think if it as a media player that turns your DS into an Ipod:D All I need for it to work is a Compact flashcard, which costs around $50-$100:shock: I'll get it though:)

My birthday is in 9 days!!

First Day Impressions

Well it's really been 2 days, but it's ok. Here are my classes

1. Study Hall- boring. I wanted it in 5th period.

2. Computer Applications- It's interesting. I'm going to like it. We learn how to do animations and programming there.

3. Biology Honor- It's alright, but I don't like taking notes and it has a lot of notes.

4. Business Law- Pretty good, but the questions are more like riddles than questions.

Then lunch(A luch to be exact):D

5. English 2 honors- So much writing:cry:

6. World History- Boring. Very boring.

7. Geometry- It's alright.

Honors is another word for GT.

Hopefully I get Driver's Ed next semester. Wish me luck:)

School isn't as fun as it was last year. Our district make all these new rules which stinks and changed our school schedule, which most of us don't like.

Moving on, here's a link to the past of the Final Fantasy series. It's a good documentary. You all should check it out.

Link

It's that time again:(

It's time to go back to school. I'll be a sophmore in high school:) I felt that this summer was rushed and over very quickly. I wish I had Hiro Nakamura's power(Heroes) and can control the essence of time. That way, I could go back in time and do summer again(it might be boring though), or I'll go back in time and get Chrono Cross, Final Fantasy IX, and Xenogears(and make good stock investments).

I'll be 16 in 2 weeks, which is cool:) and I can finally get a job at Gamestop. I'm also going to try and get my liscense too, but job's first:)

Here's my review of Chrono Trigger. Check it out:)

Anyways, I'm almost finish with Chrono Trigger, so I got Secrets of Mana. I started it a little, and it's alright. It seems light-hearted compared to CT, but it's good.

Moving on, this video is a third party developing company(it was really just an at home team, not a big third party like Intelligent studios or Epic) that started to remake Chrono Trigger, giving it PS2 graphics on their computers. They were going to put it on a site and let people download it for free, but of course, Square-enix made them end the project immediately and they threatened with a lawsuit:roll: Thanks a whole lot Square! You can remake a game 50 times, but won't let people who gave your company credit remake your game for all to enjoy:evil: There were other ways instead of the way you did(they could of made them pay a fee for using the title, hired them on their dev team and remake this game and put it on the PS2, and more)

If you want to hear the music from the CT remake, then go here.

Anyways here's the video that I would of loved to be a trailer for this game on the PS2, but was ended by the evil Square-enix.

My new game and new anime

I got Chrono Trigger!

Chrono Trigger

The game is very interesting, and I like how they used the time-travel in the game. I also like how you can learn why the ultimate evil [spoiler] Destroys the Earth in the future [/spoiler]

It's a really good game so far(most of you will hate me forthis, but I think it IS better than FF7)that if you haven't played it yet, you should get it.

I also finished FFVI Advance. It was really good. I liked the endings a lot( especially Cyan's, Setzer's, Celes', Mog's, and Shadow's). Kefka was a great villan, which I think the gaming industry should have more villains like him( a sarcastic psychopath jerk). Albedo from Xenosaga is one.

I've been watching a new anime( actually finished watching it a week ago). It's called

Code Geass

Lelouch of the Rebellion

It's a pretty good anime, which had a good season finale, that left me on the edge of my seat! I wanted more!:P

The GH3 setlist part 4 will be in the next blog. Part 5 will have the last tier and the exclusive characters I think should be on the consoles the game is coming out on(Lightning from FFXIII for the PS3 version?!)
