This (scroll down to Floridamind's post) is why I don't like forums with people who want to discuss issues that should never be discussed. Along with people who have so much American "pride" that I could gag.

I love the game. Everyone else should. If you do not buy the game I will castrate you. If you are a women, you are excused. Bye now, Im going to go back and play it some more.

First day of Grade 11 wasn't too bad. Had to get classes changed and stuff but it was fun. I still can not accept that summer is over. Played some more Xenosaga last night. Story seems to be improving. I am so happy that I spent lots of time leveling up. I managed to easily beat a boss, so I guess my time was well wasted.

Anyway, realizing that yesterday was Labour Day and that I have way too much time on my hands I thought about the meaning of it. For example, if Labour Day is called Labour Day doesn't that mean people should be working really hard, instead of having the day off. Or does it mean that on Labour Day many more women go into labour and deliver their children. I don't know for certain but its a thought.

Not much to say other than what the title states. Its sad that I have to go back to a regular routine. No more staying up late, all day gaming etc. Well at least now I can spend days looking at hot girls I may have a chance with. Wait, that makes me sound even more pathetic. Im gonna go cry now.

As school has been approaching Ive noticed a recent trend among people. On my MSN Messenger friends list (yes, I use MSN) many people's names have been stating or relating to parties. One person's name in fact was "2 days left, don't spend them sober". Now I enjoy hanging out with my friends as much as the next person but would someone care to explain why alcohol must be brought into the picture. I think people that need to drink to have a good time or drink for fun are idiots. Whats the matter with simply hanging out with your friends, taking, joking around, going to a movie etc. So far in my high school life Ive never had the urge to drink or do drugs. I don't really think that I should need to do either of those acts to be seen as cool by a small group of people whose opinion's are not worth anything. Don't think much of this, I just needed to vent and thats my opinion on the matter.

Today was a nice change of pace. First time that I didn't work in a week, and with tomorrow being a holiday its great to just kickback and relax. Sadly though, Tuesday I must return to the institution that is high school. To just give myself a break I went to EB today and picked up Pikmin, Mega Man Anniversary Collection and Astro Boy: Omega Factor. When I was at EB I saw Phantom Brave and a few other games I wish I could have picked up. There were two factors that kept me from purchasing any other titles though. The first reason was the fact that I have a huge backlog of games, as you can see from my Now Playing List. The other reason was that my bank will only allow me to spend 100 dollars a day with my Interac card (I guess you Yanks call it an ATM card). Its funny that the second reason came to my mind before the first. I guess there must be something wrong with me when Id rather spend hard earned dollars on games that I wont have enough time to play while I have tons of others that are collecting dust.

Watching Pirates of the Caribbean again and I thought why the heck isn't there a game of it. Now before you mention Bethesda's RPG let me finish. POTC is a great movie that has a wonderful sense of humor, with an amazing performance by Johhny Depp throughout. Bethesda's POTC game was basically Sea Dogs 2 with the license attached. Now imagine if you will a Secret of Monkey Island style adventure game in which you play Depp's character Captain Jack Sparrow. It could easily incorporate the movie's hilarity and unique style. Well maybe the Pirates! remake will tide me over until a game like this comes along. Heres hoping for it when POTC 2 is released.

Well there I made a header graphic. All the cool kids are doing it. If you recognize the game its from you get a cookie. Note: Actual cookie may contain traces of human.

While playing Xenosaga today I had time to think about the horrendous thing that is leveling up in RPGs. Everyone knows leveling up is necessary. Some people find it enjoyable, though when it comes down to a Final Fantasy game I don't know how mashing the O button for an hour is fun. I just don't think a necessity like this is fun. In a game like Tales of Symphonia or Grandia 2 where the battle system is enjoyable leveling up is warranted but in a game like Xenosaga its just a chore. Still, I think I'll go back and play it so I can continue the story....woe is me.

So Im trying this new "journal" feature out. Everyone is nervous the first time so go easy on me. I think this might last longer than the other blog that I had, since I seem to believe that people might actually read this.

My Day

Today was another day of working for me, but I got my paycheck so thats a plus. The only game I got to play today was Halo with my little sister. For some reason she enjoys it, but not when I kill her. So I must learn to amuse myself by messing around with the game and practicing. Its funny but playing with her has improved my game.
