My Xbox Live Gamertag

Well, now that I'm actively using my Xbox 360, I felt it would be fitting for me to post my Gamertag here (been meaning to do this for a while, actually). I'm not as active on GameSpot as I used to be so hopefully I could keep in touch with you guys through Xbox Live (unfortunately, I don't have Xbox Live Gold yet, so I'm only good for sending messages and private chats). I hope to see you guys soon! Send me a PM with your Gamertag! Gamertag: Haxx1

Final Note (For a while)

Hmm...I can't believe I haven't made an entry since Christmas. Of course, I'm not obligated to, but for some reason I just don't like leaving my journal here unused. I have been avoiding GS lately for reasons I'm not quite sure of, but I have managed to make occaisonal forum posts. School starts for me on September 2, and I'll be a sophmore. I'll be leaving for a trip this Thursday, and by the time it ends I'll be in school, so this is just a little note until I have some time to get active again here. What can I say? I've just been living life and working on a project I hope I'll be able to reveal soon. Until then, I'll be signing off.

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays, and all of that sappy stuff. Well, I completed Super Mario Galaxy weeks ago, and the game was great. I had a lot of fun. Unfortunetly for me, since my 15th birthday was on the 15th (which is 10 days away from Christmas) my aunts didn't get me or my cousin who is a day older seperate gifts. In fact, my aunt still hasn't given me either a birthday or Christmas present. It doesn't bother me much, though, so I'll stop the whining for now. I missed this chance with a girl I liked that really liked me, so I could post about that for entertainment purposes (comedy is lacking in my entries) in my next post. Until then, I'm just grateful I managed to get a post in before 2008(Happy New Year's Eve and New Year's Day, when those days come, because I most likely will not be here then).

New Review!

Pretty short, and definetly not my best work, but a new one's up. I plan on reviewing Sonic and the Secret Rings next (and by "next" I mean "eventually"). My Internet was down for a while, which was why I haven't been online lately.

I picked up Metroid Prime 3: Corruption (even though I'm not really into Prime) and even though those kind of games aren't really my type, I've been having fun, and it seems to be the perfect thing to keep me busy till Super Mario Galaxy (the boxart was just revealed) and Super Smash Bros. Brawl is out. I'll be starting high school on the 4th, and this year I'm planning on studying harder and doing more work, because until Galaxy is out, I kinda don't have anything worth playing, except for Prime, which I'll save for weekends. Unfortuently, my concentration on school may make me update a whole lot less, but the things I go through probably aren't worth reading. If something interesting happens, I'll write it out, and post it when I have the time. Until then, see you guys later!

Disappointing Entry

Finally, a new entry! Some things have happened.... 1. I graduated and I'm going to high school next year. 2. ....I guess that's it. Since my last entry I purchased Mario Party 8 (worst MP game ever). I suppose that's it, but since it's summer, expect to see me around the unions more often and expect a larger update than this appropriately titled 'disappointing entry'.

Random Update

Well, I got the PSP port of GTA: Liberty City Stories months ago ( the fact that I was able to get it reminds me of how my older-by-one-day cousin Anthony got a pornographic movie by simply paying the guy extra* ) but the lady at the register was a real [expletive] about it. I don't know why. I mean, it's not like I don't deserve to play a game four years earlier than I should be allowed to. I'm not becoming more violent (although, in retrospect, I did beat my neighbors with a bat, but I assure you that this is pure coincidence ).

I've been playing Sonic and the Secret Rings, and it's really good. I'd promise a review, but I really procrastinate with those ( since 2005 ) but I'll get to it eventually. Also, eventuallyI can get started on this comic project my friend asked me to do...Speaking of my friend, I think I may need a new hobby, because apparently giving him e-mails with misleading titles filled of lesbian porn doesn't constitute as one, although I fail to see why.

I'll come up with a real entry eventually as well (I really shouldn't put things off ) so till then, I'll be in the Skeleton Dome. :) * This really happened. EDIT: This title isn't really working out much either, but that's really what this entry is: a random update.

The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess is...

...an impressive game. Seriously. I've never really held any interest in the Legend of Zelda series before, but this game has really changed my mind. I mean, it's just so hard to quit playing, and it always feels like a little part of me dies whenever I choose to save and stop playing. Now I see how this game was so anticipated and hyped, because it really is that good of a game. Right now in the game, I'm a wolf for the second time and I'm at Death Mountain. I'm really having fun thinking of ways to get rid of the enemies I'm currently facing there. This game is so good, I'm not even sure I'll be able to give it a good enough review without sounding like some longtime loser Zelda fanboy, because pretty much all the things I'd say about the game might make it sound "too good" or "too perfect". I editted my last entry with my Wii Number ( check the bottom ) so feel free to send PMs with your Wii Numbers, like UnlivedPhalanx did. And my COPIC markers actually arrived during the evening of the 27th, but I'm happy enough with them now. Now I just need to come up with a new sketch to test them out, but the last test sketch I did ended up looking so good, that I was actually worried that using the COPICs would diminish its value. Since I'm letting TP consume my life ( I did'nt even answer my girlfriend's phone call... ) you probably won't see much of me within next week, but I'll definetly be around for a couple of birthday/holiday vacation/Christmas/ New Years entries down the road. And, just to remind everyone, my birthday is December 15, so I'll be 14 years old soon. *Plays LoZ: TP in room with all lights off *

My [Extremely Detailed] Wii Launch Day Story!

I still have a pretty accurate memory of how it all went down, although I was really tired at the time. I really did'nt want to camp out, so I spent the previous day going to local gaming stores ( and stores that sell video game consoles among other things ) to ask what time the stores would open. After figuring out the times and finding out that my local Target would open at the earliest, I simply planned to go there. The story goes as follows... I was having this weird dream where I was throwing a house party and my ex girlfriend shows up and...uh, nevermind.... Anyway, I woke up instantly as my alarm woke me up. I knew exactly what to do, because I had it all set up in my mind weeks prior. This was gonna be my day to finally get a Nintendo Wii. I quickly washed up, brushed my teeth, woke up my mom ( I must have been pretty irratable(sp?), because now that I look back, I must've been annoying. )

When I made it to my local Target, I was saddened by the fact that there was a line of about 35 people lined up. Why do all these people need to line up? I mean, they already ruined it enough for me when I was trying to get a Wii preorder. I stuffed my cash into my pocket and slowly approached the line. I had a breif conversation with a fellow Nintendo enthusiast, but the conversation was stopped short when all of us in line saw a Target employee step out of the store, and he was apparently giving out something.

I stepped forward a bit and heard another Nintendo enthusiast raise his hands and shout an excited cheer. Seeing that the employee was giving these out to everybody, I just waited to get mine. Once I got it, I saw it was a Wii ticket. I was number 36, and Target actually had 60 units. This was a special ticket that guaranteed me a Wii. It's only valid until noon that same day, so I figured that I could just wait in the car for the remaining three hours, and I did. It was nice to get some more sleep, anticipate the Wii more, and find out how it feels to have the remote in your hand.

Once it opened, they started letting in only 10 people at a time, so I had to wait until it was my turn to walk to the familiar video game section at Target, put my money forward, and get the box. I was so happy about the purchase that I forgot about the fact that I did'nt have any breakfast, so I got something to eat. Afterwards, I had to deal with the long and surprisingly tedious Wii setup process. I think it was all worth it in the end, though I'm still hesitant to move it and bring it to my cousin's house ( which is what I always did for my GCN ) for some reason.

Unfortunetly, I did'nt have enough for a launch title game ( or even for an extra controller ), but I plan to get one during this long Thanksgiving weekend, preferably Excite Truck or The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess ( Although I, admittedly, never really got into the series that much, but, from reading in depth articles in Nintendo Power, I'm confident that this game will actually draw me into the franchise. ) Wii Number: 0363 5200 3924 3627 In other news, I finally found out when the COPIC markers I ordered online will arive in my house ( I really love sketching and to finally color my better sketches in with COPICs seems like a very nice idea. ) It'll come at the 28th. A lot later than I expected, but whatever. Oh, and Happy Thanksgiving everyone. I plan on bringing my Wii to my aunt's house to play some Wii Sports and (maybe) some LoZ: TP. It should be a good time, and I'm looking forward to reading your Thanksgiving entries.

Finally, my new entry! ( More new entries to come! )

Well, it's been a while since I made a new entry ( it's also odd that I would'nt at least make a back to school entry...) but I promise, I'll make more new entries soon. A lot of cool stuff has happened since my last entry, and I'll share it with you guys in my next few entries. Something awesome has been happening every day, so it'll be a lot of fun to share it all. Since I'm on a way faster computer ( or to be more precise, a laptop ) I've taken the liberty of editting a few things on my profile, like my blog description and the first letter of my blog title lower case. ( Please don't ask me why I did this. Somehow, I think it looks better that way. ) In my newer entries, instead of just typing it up, I'll copy and paste from WordPad. It's a lot more faster and I prefer it that way on my slow computer. I don't feel like discussing it, but I'll just say it anyway: My cousin, Anthony, has a very, very, bad disposition...

Camp Hyrule Entry!

Ah, Camp Hyrule. I felt that an update on how it started today would be appropriate. A few weeks before it started, I decided to search up on it to see why it was hated by some people, and I ended up at an N-Philes article about it. It's really funny actually!:) Read it. Trust me. Well, while I was at NSider, I was at the Wii board, and this is a thread I came upon. http://forums.nintendo.com/nintendo/board/message?board.id=revolution&message.id=1493193&view=by_date_ascending&page=1 This loser wins for most n00bish fanboy post. So yeah, I'm currently in Camp Hyrule ( Oooh, it's on the moon! ) and it's not so bad I guess. So yeah, not much more than that, but I'll finally update the Now Playing section, because I've had three new games for a long time and I never did anything with it. EDIT: I'll finally get started on a new review. EDIT2: I fail at HTML, so I editted this entry a bit.
