A Few New Games. Bored Blog Post From School

Well I'm at school and nothing to do so I thought I'd make a new blog. I went and saw Borat yesterday. It was good but really vulgar. After that I went to Gamestop and played the Wii! They only had Excite Truck and it was okay I wished they would've had Zelda.

I bought Madden 06 for the 360 and already have half of the achievements! Seriously scoring a touchdown nets you 100 pts.! Playing one game I got over 400! On eof them just requires you to go to a menu.

I also bought the three Burger King games, Pocketbike Racers, Sneak King, and Big Bumpin'. I like Pocketbike Racers and Sneak King and hate Big Bumpin'. The achievements are also pretty easy. The games are totally worth it for only $3.99. They great games for that price but normal budget price they'd be terrible.

I've also been playing Quake III Arena during lunch at school with a big group of people. I've been getting 1st or in the top 3. My job is doing pretty good. Everyone got a cut in hours because a new Wal-Mart just come and has cut sales. It's the biggest one in Oklahoma.

Enjoying The 360

I've had a blast playing the 360 since I've had it and have been on GS less because of it. Far Cry Instincts Predator is by far my favorite. Playing online is unbeliebly fun. Just chatting with other people is awesome.

I'm downloadig all the game downloads, currently in the D's on Dead Rising demo. I've got in the XBLA Doom, Geometry Wars Retro Evolved, Hexic HD, and Totem Ball.

I plan on buying the Xbox Live Gold plan with the Vision Camera and other misc. goodies. Then another controller and Gears of War.

I've gotten a few other games for the NES, PS1 and DC. Also Burger King is going to be selling 3 Xbox 360 and Xbox compatible games this month for $4 each.

I Got A 360!

Well I got my 360 this Saturday and have been frantically playing it all week. I bought it for $449 and it came with an extra controller and a play and charge kit. I bought Perfect Dark Zero Collector's Edition, Far Cry Instincts Predator, and Jade Empire Limited Edition for the Xbox. Now I've been playing Xbox games such as JE, Halo, and Half Life 2 which is unbelieveably good.

I've downloaded demos of Sonic The Hedgehog, Test Drive Unlimited, Lost Planet, Need For Speed Carbon and Quake 4. Sonic is terrible, Test Drive will be the next game I get, Lost Planet is good, NFSC is just another NFS and Quake 4 is good. On the XBLA I have Hexic HD and trial versions of Lumines Live! and Geometry Wars.

I've gotten the Conan O' Brian "If They Mated" sketches, a Gears of War commercial (awesome song for it) and some Halo 3 videos.

I've played Far Cry online and have done really well. I've used the headset. My name is JohnTheGamer just like on here, couldn't think of anything creative. I'm gonna to add Ignignokt104 tonight to my friends list.

Getting A 360 Next Week Plus New Goodies

Weel I've decided next week I'll get a Xbox 360. Yes I will still be getting a Wii and eventually a PS3. Why the sudden change of heart? A few reasons actually. For one I have a job now and can make the money back fairly easily, Watching the new 1UP podcast when they showed Rainbow Six Vegas also the vision camera uses in that game. Also I really want a system with great looking graphics soon. I'll get it from Sam's Club 'cause they have a bundle that includes the system, 2 wireless controllers, and a charge and play kit for US$449.99. I won't get a 360 game right away 'cause I have a lot of new Xbox games.

In other I got screwed on my Xbox. As most of you know I took mine to a local repair shop during the summer. Well I'd been calling for about 4 months and they always said we're waiting on a part. Well I called and I guess the owner picked up and he said he didn't like to keep anything for more than a week. I asked if I could come get it and he said it's still probably there somewhere in pieces. WTF?!?!?! I'm gonna report them to the Better Business Bureau.

Finally I got a lot of new games in the past weeks. I can't remember what most of them were but I remember Stretch Panic (PS2) and Tekken 5 (PS2). I bought the Tekken 5 Ultimate Collector's Edition which includes the game an awesome arcade stick and a DVD case for every Tekken. I couldn't find my camera so I searched google for a pic of the controller.

Finally! MGS2 Review Is Done!!!

Well I finally did my review over MGS2. The original I wrote got erased so I had to start all over but oh well. Here it is: MGS 2 Review. I expect to get a review of Zone Of The Enders up in a week. What's up with all my latest reviews being over Hideo Kojima's games? I'll have a regular blog up on a day I don't have to work next week.

New Games, A WTF From Best Buy, And Fast Leveling

Got 27 games this weekend after work. Me and a couple of friends went out shopping most notably I got Zone of the Enders (PS2), Maximo Ghosts to Glory (PS2), Half Life 2 (Xbox), Revolution X (SNES) and the rest pretty much crap but cheap. Every game I bought was under ten dollars and I bought like fifteen Atari 2600 games for a quarter!

I've been enjoying work. I have to work only Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday of this week. Becoming friends with almost everyone there. Making some good tips too. Getting a checking account tomorrow. That should help me refrain from buying so many games all the time. Seriously I bought 27 this weekend! I have a problem:D

My teeth are getting better still hurt but I can eat normal food now. Some weird white stuff came out of the holes where they were today, maybe something the dentist used?

I've been blazing through lvl.18 and have past 1000 posts!

And last but not least WTF! At Best Buy they had multiple copies of Shonen Jump Superstars for the DS. Which yes is an import and will probably never come out here. I guess they import?!?!? Anyways I'm definitly going to get it (it's $50) and I'll use it to  help me teach myself Japanese. I want to learn.

Wisdom Teeth Removed

I had my wisdom teeth removed yesterday. I had to get them taken out because they would've caused problems later in life. They knocked me out for I don't know how long. I had blood draining all of yesterday from where they were. I couldn't eat anything unless it could gothrough a straw. Have to take pain pills because my jaw will really start to hurt, have to rinse my mouth out with mouth wash a few times a day.

Today I ate a piece of pizza after 30 min., had to take a pain pill during it because my mouth started to hurt. The doctor said it should be better by Friday. I didn't have to go to school or work today or yesterday. Probably go to school tomorrow.

Anyone else had their wisdom teeth removed before?

Job Is Great Plus Some New Games + Music

Well after almost a week on the job I love it. My routine usually includes stocking items on the shelves, getting called up to sack the groceries, taking them out, facing the shelves (making them look good) and that's about it. I work about 25-30 hours a week at $5.75 plus tips. About half the time there is nothing to do! The only thing I don't like so far is closing 'cause then you have to sweep and mop the store. That kinda sucks. I'll get a paycheck every Friday and it's going towards a Wii.

I've gotten a few new games since the last post. I've gotten Prehistorik Man on the SNES w/box and manual, Konami's Give 'n' Go on the SNES w/box and manual. Today I got Fantavision (PS2), Deus Ex The Conspiracy (PS2), and Timesplitters (PS2) which means now that I have all three Timesplitters! Which for those of you who don't know is probably my 2nd favorite series.

I went to the library and got some new CD's to put on the iPod. I got Foo Fighters self titled CD, Black Sabbath's Paranoid, Marilyn Manson's (?!?!?!? at a library?!?!?!) Mechanical Animals, Kiss's 20th Century Masters, Everclear, Songs From An American Movie 2, The Beatles's With The Beatles, and Lenny Kravitz' Let Love Rule. That's about it for now I guess.

New Version Of iTunes And PS3 Backlash

Holy Crap! Apple has done good my friend. This is the best update ever of iTunes! First we'll start with iTunes. They have added movies and games (finally) but the games look kinda iffy but I'll buy some to try out. They now add any album cover that you don't have, I usually just search Wikipedia for them. The iPod update I don't know quite what they did but they say they fixed some bugs and added the ability to play games on Video iPods (which is what I have). GREAT.

I've stopped playing Metroid for a while. Don't get me wrong it's awesome, I love it and want to beat it but my NES has started to act up so I think I'lll return when I get the NES Classics version on the GBA or get a new NES. They have the dog-bnoe kind at a Vintage Stock but it's $90!

Since I've taken a break from that I've goten into Final Fantasy X, again another game I haven't beat yet. I'm really engrossed in it right now. I've also been playing Madden 2005 pretty regularly to. My friend got Madden 07 about 3 weeks ago and that's what got me started. Then during Game-a-Thon 2 we played it for a couple of hours.

Found some funny stuff about the PS3 delay backlash including a video and photoshoped pics. You'll definitly need to watch Sony's embarassing E3.

Metroid Plus Super Paper Mario On Wii

Well I've figured that I'll do a new blog every three or four days amybe more if a write a new review on an odd day. That way I keep it regular.

Game-a-Thon 2 was a success, Sony_Fanboy and JamesTheManiack came over and we mainly played Tekken 5 and SSBM. One of our pals got a speeding ticket on the way over so he decided not to come. James bought the Tekken 5 Collector's Edition which comes with a DVD case that holds every Tekken and an arcade controller which I'm now addicted to so I have to get mainly for the controller which is awesome!!!!:D

I'm currently playing Metroid with the intent of beating it for the first time with a guide and the second time by myself. It's pretty difficult to get evreything w/o a guide. So far I've just beaten Kraid after going out of my way to get the Wave Beam. My NES has been working amazingly good lately.

And the last bit of news is that Spore is officially heading to the Wii. Actually I found out today that this was kinda false, EA has said they want to finish the PC version first and then do other versions so still maybe. Not being a big PC gamer I wasn't planning on getting it but will definitly get it on the Wii. Also Super Paper Mario os now heading to the Wii instead of the Gamecube. Which leaves one of the best looking games for the Gamecube gone it'll be dead after Zelda and Baten Kaitos Origins hit it.
