Just for the record, I finally have xbox live. And just for the record, i dont suck at halo anymore. MOVING ON! Why does anyone buy games new anymore?! Whats the point. I mean lets say person A and Person B both have a hundred dollars and want the same two games. Both these games are released on the same day. Person A decides that not only is he going to buy both games on their release date, hes going to wait in line to do so. After person A has purchased his games, he has no money left. Person B decides he will practice self control and wait a week, just one week, to buy his games. After that week he finds both games used, for 40 bucks each ( its true, It happens, I've seen it) After purchasing his games, Person B has 20 dollars left. He decided to buy his girlfriend a nice gift. You see? Person B didnt have to wait in line and he got laid in the end. Isnt that much better?! I just dont understand why anyone pays 50 dollars for these when you can just pay less a little while later. Now i know that this sint always true wiith games like HALO. You cant wait an extra week and even if you did, you could NEVER find it for 40 bucks. But just try it. Buy all your games used. And dont give me that, "But there in bad condition!" crap. I dont want to hear it. EB and Gamestop have policies, if your game is in bad condition, you cant trade it in. Believe me, I've been turned away. And even if the game IS in bad condition, if they hav e multiple copies they LET YOU CHOOSE WHAT DISK YOU WANT! I've been allowed to check multiple disks before all the time!?

Please poeple.....save your money....it likes you........:|

So online shopping is now officially an ended part of my life. In the last few days, i have attempted to purchase a 12 month XBL subscription card off of Ebgames and gamestop.com. First i tried EB. It all went fine, i submitted my order, they aceepted, and in a day or two this would all be over, little to my knowledge EB does not accept debit/cash cards......great....so i went back on to redorder. So i click on the card to add it to my cart when i get a message.."This product is not available.' ..........*shudders with anger...* So i decided to try Gamestop.com. I filled out my info and submitted my order......"Your Information is not correct, please double check...." So i try again....and again....checking and verifying....again....and again....and again.....so by now I'm slamming my hand in my desk drawer and screaming myself hoarse.....then cranium came over and suggested going to the EB down the street.....

god dammit.......

so now i'm waiting for a ride. A ride that will end this painful and agonizing quest to play halo with kids from Kentucky.....so cruel....so cruel...

Well theres some good news on the way. Sunday night i ordered a 12-month XBL subscription card off of ebgames.com. Irt should be here today. Ah also, i forgot to post that i went to a phillies game on sunday. They beat the nationals 5-4 in the 12th. Taking the series 2-1. It was sweet. And then last night Bobby Abreu breaks the record for most home runs hit in a single round of the home run derby....by 9!!! Ahh man i cant wait for the all star game tonight(Which the phillies have 3 players in , Abreu, Wagner, and Rollins.) Its gonna be friggin great.

Also i just beat Brothers In Arms, and the ending was very nice. the game, as far as the story and presentation, was extremely well done. It actually hit home when your squadmates would die. The dialouge and monolouges were very well written and the voice acting was grade A. Not to mention the gameplay was very fast paced and loud. The only draw backs were the graphics could have used a little touch up, and the gameplay was a little linear, but it never got old. I was hooked from beginning to end.

It was nothing like Republic Commando. The ending to that was, not really a cliff hanger, but its not like it gave you any closure. it left me with a weird feeling, like i was missing something, but i knew what it was. But i liked the game. It wasnt incredible but it was worth the money. You die alot though.....alot...

Happy fragging, and remember what TheAdministrato says, "Its not about how long ti takes you to beat a game, but how many things you break in the process."

Well ts looks like i'll be back home for awhile now. I'm not ocming back to CT for another week or two. So I have time to get acquainted withh all the wonderful poeple on XBL:(

Ha just kidding. To be honest i was gonna write in here about how much i hate how some jocky, metal head, insecure, secretly miserable low lifes who still stick to the gamer = geek stereotype. I had a ton typed out, but i deleted it. Ya know why? Cause i dont need to beatch about it, and you dont need to listen to it. You guys all know what i'm talking about, so thats enough. And ya know what? Fu$% everybody. I'm tired of being insecure because i know what "pwnage means". Fu$% it. Its my hobbie, fu$% you, you have yours. thats all i need to say.

Anyway I just wanna get home so i can fix the mess that is my comp/internet. I gotta get in touch with the guy who is building my new comp and get that straightened out. So until 6 p.m when i leave CT to come home, i'll be watching crappy movies on HBO.

Rememeber what TheAdministrato says, " If they dont like it, Fu$% em, they never mattered anyway."

Its nice to know that when your feeling down you'l always have you buddies at GS to back you up:|.......Like the mods who mod you for insulting a game they like.....

Anywho to anyone who "didnt" read my first entry, sorry it was so long. I figured the first should be the best. Tommorow I drive back home to Jersey for the weekend, then back to My dad's connecticut on monday. So I'll get a chance to play my new copy of Bros. In Arms and hook up my XBL connection. What I cant believe is how expensive these headsets are. Damn! 30 bucks for a headset. I could get 2 Logitech USB's for that much. Its friggin insane! But its Microsoft so i guess that the headset is just 1 more of the hundreds of ways they rip off there loyal customers in an attempt to turn even the slightest of profit. But ig uess you get what you pay for its.....um.....good quality stuff......:|

Does anyone else think that some companies might be purposly making stuff bad. But only things that can be bought by one company and are a necessity. Like XBL headsets i guess. That way people have to buy them a bunch of times......Meh GS needs a conspiracy forum....i cant keep putting this stuff in here.....

So thats enough for now. For the rest of today i'm just gonna be strumming my guitar and eating sunflower seeds, so i hope all you bastards have as good a day as me:D

Please excuse typos...its late...

Its almost midnight on July 6th 2005. I'm tired and pissed, which is not unusual for me around this time of day. I've been putting off going to the bathroom for over an hour. I just bought Brothers in Arms, but cannot play it. I'm at my dads and my xbox is 190 miles away. In case you dont know, I am a near psychotic xbox fanboy who is pissed becuase the guy at EB wont sell him the huge HALO 2 poster they had hanging from the ceiling. I chatted with a nintendo fanboy today who i had met on the forums, and as usual, before i had said anything about xbox or gamecube, he sarted trashing xbox bad. "360 sucks ass, revolution rules, your stupid for liking xbox so much." keep in mind these are direct quotes.it came to my realization, that no matter what, these poeple have a constant and enourmous urge to defend themselves. like the always have something to prove. its like a twisted form of Napoleon Complex, they feel they have to stand up for Nintendo whenever they come in contact with anyone who isnt one of their own, even if that person is a "casual gamer." I use that term loosely, mostly becuase i think its stupid. We're all casual. Do you wear a suit when you play CS? Neither do I. I think at least they should change the term. But I suppose it works fine or else they would have changed it by now. Anyway, I have always hated these Nintendo fanboys, simply because MOST OF THEM are little, anoying, geeky looking, kleenex sucking, online college using, honda driving, customer service representative Morons who wouldnt know a game if it came up and stole their skittles. My foremost apologies to those of you are are nintendo fanboys, but are still fair and logical poeple. You I like. Anyway I calmly told this kid to "Suck it" and cut the chat off short. for those of you who feel this was an interesting way to start off a journal, I agree, but it was what was on my mind. if you want to know smething stupid like "what my favorite game is" check my profile.

I came to a sick revalation today about game publishers. After reading numerous reviews for "Killer 7" it hit me like a ton of bricks. You see, I rememeber seeing the first pictures and previews for "Killer 7" 2 years ago, which isnt uncommon. But then, there was nothing. Some scattered talk and some screen shots, but nothing else. I had forgetten all about it until i read the review in the july Issue if Game Informer, which refreshed my memory a little. I got excited and looked up other reviews. I thought nothing of the mediocre review GI gave it. i wanted to check the others before made a final decision. Well much to my surprise, no one else had liked the game very mch either. I shrugged my shoulders and told myself that this kind of thing happens all the time, which it does, but thats when it hit me. Publishers, care no more about the quaity of games than the care about their poor mothers they stuck in third rate nursing homes. Mostly in part, becuase more often than not, most games that recieve hype turn out to be very sub standard or avergage games. Now I thought about how that could be becuase after a game is hyped up to be this sick a$$ peice of software, even if it is a great game, it is not what poeple expected(ie halo 2, Fable, etc, etc). This sort of thing happens alot, this much is true, but what I mean is that a game like Killer 7, which recieved little to no hype at all, still turned out to be a substandard game, despite the good previews 2 years earlier. What i think is happening, is that sometime around, lets say 3 years ago for lack of a specific date, Publishers realized that people settled, very well in fact, for substandard games as long as they were marketed well enough. And of course, why spend more money on developers to make better games when you can pay much less for them to make crappy games and still make poeple happy and turn a profit. The thing is, even today we are still buying these games despite their bad quality, just becuase they were hyped so much. Lets lookn at an easy example. HALO 2. now before we continue I must say I am a huge halo fanboy and loved the game, still do. Anywho, look how many poeple were absolutely dissapointed with this game. I mean really truely disliked it. However it was one of the most hyped and anticipated games of all time. Taking into acount of course the success of halo 1. And, ignoring the reviews which stated the game was clearly not "up to the hype" poeple flocked to the stores and bought somehting arund 80 million copies of it. Now you could argue and say the problem is the hyping, and you very well may be right. maybe we should stop hyping games. But i think that developers and their publishers should start living up to the hype and delivering what they promise.

So in conclusion, its late and I want to post this before it is offically thursday. happy fragging gamers and remeber what TheAdministrato always says, "If you want it now, buy it now, fu$# saving money."
