...if only they were real trophies :P

Well Christmas has arrived and now it is gone again :(

But I had a great Christmas. I got a PSP-3000 (yeah I could just say PSP but I enjoy saying PSP-3000 :P) I am really enjoying playing around with it and connecting it with my PS3. I only have one game for it which is MK Unchained but I plan to get more.

Overall it has been a great year of gaming for me. I have really enjoyed playing with the PS3 and finally introduced to HD gaming. I played some really great games and to be perfectly honest, I reckon I jumped in at just the right time... Trophies, Home and LBP of course! Now that I have a PSP I can get the most out of both my PS3 and the PSP.

I also got a lot of career points this year and I am really close to Brigadier General (that is the top rank in BF2142 anyone can get) :P

All I need now to get the full HD experience of gaming is an Xbox 360. However I might wait a bit longer as I need to save my money for my licence which I will probably get early next year. After I get my licence I will start saving for a 360. :)

This blog seemed to have gone off topic a bit and has dragged on longer than I expected. With this said, I wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year :)

*WARNING WALL OF TEXT*

General:

I am a hardcore gamer so I am interested in video games. I am also a dedicated gamer and play a variety of games. I like to keep an open mind on the video games I play. If someone tells me not to buy a game, that doesn't stop me from buying it. I usually research the game and try and find some gameplay footage and usually I know at that point if I am going to like the game or not. I NEVER go by reviews. I find reviews unhelpful mainly since they don't determine if you are going to like a game or not. Reviews basically tell other gamers their personal experience when they were playing the game. We are all different and will have different views and opinions on a game. Some gamers often argue and make fun of people who like a underrated game. But I am proud when I like an underrated game. Think of it this way, I have enjoyed playing a game, when others have failed. I think that is an accomplishment on it's own.

Music:

I like music from all different genres. I hate pop and rap. I might be a bit sympathetic towards pop if it wasn't on the radio all the dam time. I don't consider rap to be a true music genre. It is like taking poetry and just adding a rhythm and beat to it. I also find it very repetitive. I am sorry if you like rap but this is how I feel and I am sticking by it. I like rock however I only like rock if it is constructed right. I think some rock bands try and mix rock and pop together and you might as well just call it pop. I like heavy metal also but I don't like the heavy metal when the singer is just screaming into the mic. I think the 'screaming' or 'roaring' is a bit overused. I don't mind it when a heavy metal band uses this technique but only every now and again during the song. Not all the way through the song. I probably could go through all the genres and form my own opinions on them but I am just going to tell you that I like listening to music from a variety of genres. No matter if it is from a video game, a movie or even a TV theme. If there is a song that can create emotion and I find my personal meaning to it, I will like the song.

Movies:

I like many movies. I hate drama movies even though I have seen many drama movies that I happen to like. I don't like the drama movies where it basically revolves around 'love'. I also hate the drama movies that end badly and make you think that you wish you never even watched it. As much as I hate Drama, I despise musical. I am not even going to even tell you why I hate musical because it will just take so long to point out of the elements that are wrong with the musical genre. I don't like horror, however I like how a horror film is constructed. I have to say, that the elements behind a horror film is pretty cool, but I try to avoid them at all costs. My favourite genre would have to be action. I find an action film to be very entertaining and I love it when suspense and comedy is added into a action film. My favorite Action/Suspense film would be the Dark Knight and my favorite Action/Comedy would have to be Bulletproof. I do follow the James Bond Series and have watched all the 007 films to date. My next favorite genre would have to be comedy, however some of the recent comedy films have come as a disappointed. Some of the comedy films I have seen have really crossed the line between funny and just plain stupid or disturbing. I also like science fiction as long as there is some action involved. There is many movie genres I could discuss but I better just leave it at that.

Ok, on a side note, my exams are over, don't know the results yet but I think I did reasonably well. I am on holidays so my activity will be increasing. :) It would have increased a week ago but LBP has been distracting me with Mega Man 9. I haven't played Mega Man before, I have seen a LP of Mega Man, but I haven't actually had a chance to play it for myself. I am really enjoying MM9, it is a great game and it is cool to see an old school platformer once again.

Anyway, so long ;)

2 Weeks left of school :D, however I have some bad news and some good news. The bad news is my final exams are approaching and it will prevent me from this site for a bit since I may... well will have to study, even more than last time being the final exams. The good news is that once it is over I have just over 2 months of relaxation and I will be able to contribute to the site, maybe as much as I used to when I first came here :D Now I only have 2 weeks of school, but after those 2 weeks I have exams. within the 2 weeks I will be able to pop in from time to time as I am doing now ;) After that however, is my exams and that is when I will have to start countless sessions of hardcore studying. With that said, wish me good luck, and thanks for understanding :)

@Youtubers: Sorry I haven't been able to support you videos such as the LP's by watching and commenting. I am very busy and I am sorry I have only been able to upload 2 parts of my Doom LP. Hopefully once I have spare time, I will try and fit in one more part but it may have to be delayed until after the exams. My next LP 'thanks to Ed for suggesting this' is a game I have been working on for nearly 2 years. I have created and programmed this game myself using a program called 'Gamemaker' so stay tuned for that. ;)

I think most of us know that GS isn't as good as it once was. First, people complained about a lot of the glitches and the low GS ratings from the PS3 games. Then the 'Kane and Lynch' conflict and the firing of Jeff. On those few days, many people left and the community just slided down hill from that day forward. Then another website was formed known as 'Giant Bomb' where many people from GS joined in spite of GS. I also joined but IMO, it is not as good as GS.

Despite all of the problems GS has, I still prefer GS over GB. IDK what it is, I have just been to GS for so long and even though GB has many new features, they didn't impress me as well as GS did when I came from GF (Gamefaqs). I would like to say good luck to GB, but my place is here with GS. ;)

You are quietly playing video games and you are just about to complete this game, which has taken you weeks to finish by the way. Many complaints have been made through the forums that people were unable to finish it but your gaming skills have proven that game too good. You may be possibly the first gamer to ever complete it. However you hear a knock on the door. You still haven't finished the game yet and the slightest bit of concentration lost may cost you the honour of completing it. What do you do?

To decide, pick the spoiler in this blog or the spoilers below (GS wouldn't let me put more than one spoiler in my blog :evil: )

Do You Continue Playing?

[spoiler] You continue playing and ignore whoever wants to come in. However the person knocks again. You still continue to ignore him.. or her but they continue knocking and you find it hard to concentrate. Suddenly you fail, being so close to the finish. Angry you charge towards the door and hope that they better have a good excuse. Before you open it, the power goes off and the knocking is no longer heard. You start to freak out. You hear the creaking of the door open, you asks who is there but they do not reply. Suddenly you feel a sharp sensation in your back. You drop to the floor and the last thing you ever feel is your own blood, leaking from your back. [/spoiler]

Do You Tell Them To Come In?

[spoiler] You tell them to come in and the door blasts open. You look to investigate who or what it was but you see nothing, just an opened door. You soon realise that by looking away, you have lost your chance at finally finishing the game. You put the controller down and decide what you should do next. You decide to investigate what has happened. while looking through your house, you get hit hard in the head and collapse on the floor. You wake up in the hospital and it has been revealed to you that 3 years has past and you were in a coma. You check the forums and you find that someone has already completed the game. Only 12 people in the world have in fact however the first person won $5000 plus a trip to E3 to meet the makers of the game. He also had the opportunity to help them create one of the maps for the sequel of the game. You feel depressed knowing that could have been you. [/spoiler]

Do You Pause The Game And Get The Door?

[spoiler] You pause the game and get up. You open the door and find that it is nobody. You turn around to see that everything in the house is gone. Your fridge is gone, your clothes are gone, your game is gone. Many things start going through your mind but the main thing going through your mind is "WTF?" You would call the police but your phone was even stolen?? [/spoiler]

i am typing from my ps3 :D

I come back to see my profile and what has happened? Is this GS? I see my blog with my 007 avatar and Chewbacca guarding it. This must be my blog and this must be GS!!! :o

Seriously, I like the new look 8) Although it may take a while to get used to :P

Anyway I apologise for my absence the past couple of days. I have been busy with school and I connected my computer to the HDTV I was talking about. I did visit GS but I had trouble typing and seeing the words.

I may be still busy but I will be here a bit more often now. ;)
